Blog comments working again

2008-12-19T18:37:00Z

Thanks to a note from Dave Burke I learned that comments had stopped working after the upgrade to CS2008.5. It turns out that the upgrade had turned off the ViewState on all of the post.aspx pages, which I had turned on previously to enable the Invisible CAPTCHA scheme that I was using. I have again turned on the ViewState for the pages that require it. If you notice any quirkiness, please let me know....(read more)

New Project: ASP.NET Live Membership

2008-12-19T08:00:00Z

I'm taking a little time right now to announce a new project that is going to be released very shortly. The ASP.NET Live Membership project is 100% compatible with the existing ASP.NET Membership System in the .NET Framework, but will use a different database schema and replacement set of stored procedures. Check out the new ASP.NET Live Membership blog where a more detailed description of the project has been posted....(read more)

Upgraded to CS 2008.5

2008-11-25T22:12:00Z

I was going to wait until I had time to write the new CFS module, but decided to upgrade early so that I can do some live testing. The upgrade to SP1 should be within the next couple of weeks, once I get a chance to update the SDK. If you run into any problems, please let me know....(read more)

Site was down over the weekend

2008-11-03T18:20:00Z

On Saturday, the site went down during a server upgrade when I accidentally gave the last domain controller on the network the wrong IP address. Around 3am this morning, I finally got everything up and working. I still have 1 physical server and several virtual servers to upgrade, so the site may go down periodically (up to an hour) while I work on these servers. Thank you for your patience......(read more)

Invisible CAPTCHA added! Anonymous comments enabled!

2008-07-11T09:33:00Z

I've been wanting to enable anonymous comments for quite some time, but I hadn't due to the enormous amount of BLOG spam that is being generated on the Internet. I had considered using a CAPTCHA scheme with images, but it usually turns out to be more of a nuisance to users and requires quite a bit of coding for each and every page that uses it. I was going to bite the bullet and use images when Dave Burke directed me to a post of his, Spam and BlogEngine.NET - Nadda, Nope, Nothin , which...(read more)

Update: Telco Issues

2008-06-26T00:25:00Z

AT&T came out and corrected some issues that were not correctly addressed when the lines were first installed. I need to monitor the lines very closely for the next couple of weeks, but it looks like this may be why the connections have been very unreliable. UPDATE 07/15/2008 : It turns out that the Netopia routers were overheating which caused them to constantly recycle as a recycle causes them to heat up even more. Raising them 1 inch from the surface that they are sitting on has alleviated...(read more)

Telco Issues

2008-06-24T19:00:00Z

We are currently experiencing connection issues that AT&T is working on. Our connection to the Internet has been down about 95% of the time for the past 24 hours, but should be fully functional late Thursday, June 26, 2008. Take it easy, Bill...(read more)

Updated to CS 2007.1 and converted to VS 2008

2008-01-01T21:37:00Z

I converted the Community Server solution to Visual Studio 2008 a couple weeks, which went without any hitches, but I waited until this weekend to update the application to CS 2007.1 as I knew that that would not be as easy. This was more than a patch and is really a stepping stone for the next major release of Community Server, CS 2008. Several administration features are being removed from Community Server with the release of CS 2008, many of which I am using. In the end this this will allow Telligent...(read more)

Name Change: CMSLive.NET

2007-12-14T02:17:00Z

Due to the fact that another project is using the CMS.NET name and that the domain is also taken, it was decided that a different name for the project should be used. Several different names and the availability of domains for those names were considered, before stumbling upon the name CMSLive.NET . When it was learned that the domain name hadn't been registered, I quickly registered the name and changed the name of the project as this name exactly describes the application. Also, due to the...(read more)

Project forums open for posting

2007-03-04T00:46:00Z

I apparently forgot to allow users to post in the project forums and no one let me know about it. Anywho, that has been corrected and I hope we can start talking about the different projects. Take it easy, Bill...(read more)

New forums available

2007-03-01T23:31:00Z

I have created a few new forums for open discussion on different topics. If there are some other forums that you would like to see, leave a comment or send me a private message. Enjoy......(read more)

Moved

2007-02-03T08:00:00Z

The servers and myself moved to a new location in sunny San Diego, with DSL service from AT&T. This service is 3-4 times faster than the COVAD service I had previously, and for the same price. I was also able to get the firewall fully functional, which has ended the attempts to break in and/or take down the site. I have been extremely busy with my current client, so I have only been able to work on CMS.NET a couple hours here and there. I'm still working on the core design and code, but am very...(read more)

That's right. This site is dedicated to the open source development of C/C++/C# applications primarily for, but not limited to, the .NET platform....(read more)
