I’m happy to report that the very latest versions of YetAnotherForum.NET and Gallery Server Pro are running on Sueetie.com and will be publicly available in Sueetie v3.2.  In my last post telling you about the features of Sueetie Marketplace coming in v3.2, I wrote that 3.2 would be available yet this week.  The plan has changed.  Sorry.  We’ll push out 3.2 in May according to the original schedule.  That will avoid upgrade fatigue and allow me to add some more fun features...

Sueetie just received a YetAnotherForum.NET 1.9.5 RTM blast. Sueetie was running YAF 1.9.4 RC2, the version included in Sueetie Version 2.0.  YAF 1.9.5 went RTM less than two weeks ago.   If I wasn’t in the middle of the new “York” theme and a Sueetie client site upgrade from v1.0.3 to v2.0, YAF 1.9.5 would have been singing on Sueetie.com a week ago.  YAF upgrades are TOP priority. YAF 1.9.5 has a number of new features. UI improvements, advanced poll options, totally redesigned RSS...

I know this is going to make a lot of Sueetie Users happy.  Sueetie Forums now supports Tagging and will be part of the Version 1.4 release coming soon.  Everyone loves YetAnotherForum.NET, yet I’m often asked, "when is YetAnotherForum.NET going to support tagging?" Sueetie Community Users want forum tags and so do I.  So hey, let’s add them! Tagging by Topic (not Message) Sueetie Forum Tags are assigned by YetAnotherForum.NET TOPIC, not individual message. I never liked...

Announcing YetAnotherForum 1.9.4 RC2 on Sueetie is something I’ve been looking forward to doing for a long time. I started playing with 1.9.4 since Beta 2, then Beta 3, then RC1. I was close to deploying several times but thought it best to wait. Now closing in on the release of Gummy Bear v1.3, when Jaben Cargman announced YAF 1.9.4 RC2 a week ago I stopped what I was doing and put upgrading YAF at the top of my Sueetie Essentials list. There are several new features not found in YAF 1.9.3 like...

You'll see a much tighter integration of Sueetie Member Services with YetAnotherForum.NET as the seduction of YAF.NET 1.9.4 beta bits becomes complete.  I originally designed member services in Sueetie as a separate function, where a multi-panel account management page supported changing passwords, profile updates, friends and favorites, and so forth.  Most YAF 1.9.3 member services were ignored. The opposite will be true when YAF.NET 1.9.4 is released and Gummy Bear is the happy beneficiary...

I told you about the recent YetAnotherForum.NET fun I've been having with the YAF 1.9.4 beta bits when I described a new ForumLink user control a few days ago.  I also told you there were more new YetAnotherForum features coming, but that I wasn't going to say anything until the pages were online.  I changed my mind. :) I want to tell you about the expanded Recent Activity lists you'll be seeing when YetAnotherForum.NET 1.9.4 makes its appearance on Sueetie.com.  You'll...

I wasn't blowing smoke up your skirt when I was talking about the great feedback to Gummy Bear.  At the bottom of this post is a screenshot of my inbox of YetAnotherForum.NET forum post notifications over the last couple of days.  And NO, none originated from me.  YAF.NET doesn't have a self-notification "feature."  Inside joke… YetAnotherForum.NET keeps on ticking and I spent a lot of time in it the last couple of days.  I was somehow able to bill 8 hours...

[Repost from Dave Burke’s blog] Sueetie Following and Favorites tagging support for YetAnotherForum.NET is online at http://sueetie.org/forum . Sueetie Group applications have the same features as site apps, so you'll find Following and Favorites support on the Sueetie Public Demo Group Forum as well at http://sueetie.org/groups/demo/forum . While I was enjoying some quality time with YetAnotherForum.NET for Following and Favorites, I thought I'd make a few other modifications to tighten...

In this post we will walk through the process of creating a secure forum in YetAnotherForum.NET, the excellent Open Source Forums Application used in Sueetie Getting started: Creating the Sueetie Group The Membership functions of YetAnotherForum.NET are integrated into Sueetie's ASPNET Membership, so any changes made in Sueetie administration are instantly reflected in YetAnotherForum.NET's permissions. We are creating a secure forum for the "Sueetie Insider" group, so we will create...

The Project Gummy Bear Forum is up and as a happy result the YetAnotherForum.NET Sueetie DIFF source is on CodePlex and setup documentation on the Sueetie Wiki. One more app and it’s a wrap on setup. Roger Martin’s Gallery Server Pro remains. At that point we take it to the next level, or at least enjoy more quality time with the apps themselves. For your consideration I give you the YetAnotherForum.NET Sueetie DIFF files: While we’re on the subject, what does a Sueetie DIFF ZIP do? It mostly performs...

Sueetie uses YET.NET 1.9.3 RC2, as it supports ASPNET Membership and a number of other great features used in Sueetie. While described as Release Candidate 2, I have found it to be a completely stable and problem-free release. The YAF.NET souce is available from this forum post on the YetAnotherForum.NET support site. Copy the YAF project source to the application subdirectory in your /project/source/ folder. No need to compile, as we'll want to copy over the Sueetie YAF DIFF files before doing...
