In TelliCast #25 we visit with David Penton and talk about how Community Server was improved between CS2007 and CS2007.1. Why was that a "dot" release after SP2 versus just being an SP3? If you're running CS2007 but aren't on CS2007.1, you'll want to hear about the major improvements that were introduced with .1. View Video Format: wmv Duration: 12:02 Download Video Read More...

blog bits The Ajax Ninja, who blogged about ongoing problems with CS2007 on DiscountASP.NET, reports that DiscountASP.NET is discontinuing support for Community Server 2007 because it exceeds their 100MB app pool policy.

If you saw a post titled "DBVT.COM Now Proudly Serving CS2007.1" in your RSS feeds and clicked through to my site only to encounter a login page, I'm sorry about that. That post doesn't exist anymore, thus the "Take Two" and an explanation. It's pretty late and I had a long night, so I'm not going to go into too many details.
