Since the beginning of this year, there has been a major increase in the automated creation of fraudulent user accounts targeting Community Server systems. Over the past few days we deleted thousands of these accounts and have implemented CAPTCHA on the...(read more)

Web server upgraded to Windows Server 2008

Bill Bosacker — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 07:36:00 GMT

We just finished upgrading this web server to Windows Server 2008 from Windows Server 2003, which was a major PITA. The entire DMZ is virtualized (including the domain controllers) and the upgrade resulted in the corruption of AD, so the entire forest...(read more)

We have a new Rock Hard Sueets! blog for Dave Burke's open source Sueetie project . Time permitting, we will be moving this site over to Sueetie. Since CS 2008 changed how posts are created in a major way, it may take a while to do this conversion...(read more)

Blog comments working again

Bill Bosacker — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 18:37:00 GMT

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...(read more)

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...(read more)

Site was down over the weekend

Bill Bosacker — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 18:20:00 GMT

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...(read more)

Invisible CAPTCHA added! Anonymous comments enabled!

Bill Bosacker — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 09:33:00 GMT

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...(read more)

Bill Bosacker — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:25:00 GMT

Updated to CS 2007.1 and converted to VS 2008

Bill Bosacker — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 21:37:00 GMT

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...(read more)

Name Change: CMSLive.NET

Bill Bosacker — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 02:17:00 GMT

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...(read more)

Bill Bosacker — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 00:46:00 GMT

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,...(read more)
