Thanks to Robert of Interscape Technologies the blog site of msmvps.com has anew "skin" and a new look. Check it out! I think it makes it look pretty spiffy!

Yoda here, checking in after Chad (the great the wonderful, the one who knows what he's doing) upgraded me to the latest Community Server My tummy now says: Your version: 4.1.40407.4157 I've also had them put back in the YouTube module and the issue where we want to turn back on the indexing CS08 introduced a features which allows you to define if pages should be allowed to be indexed in their entry in siteurls.config, the aim of which is to prevent google indexing duplicate content.

I may be short, green and clever, but the 5000 odd connections we saw earlier today gave me something hard to work on. It’s not that I could not handle it, I simply had to make some of you wait while I thought about things here. If that was a hacker, be warned, I can pull some of that Jedi bad-ass ***-slapping on you ;) Posted by Nick Whittome

I've been a loner of a blog server for a while and .... well... I finally realized I couldn't do it alone. so ... I got someone to help out with the SQL duties... meet Brianna who is handling the SQL duties while I still handle the IIS/web duties. As you can see I'm a lot happier now. Thanks again to Vlad Mazek for the Christmas Present for Susan

Well it's either a new server for the SQL or we're cutting over to WordPress. Two times the SQL server has locked up on my lately and I even did a BSOD tonight. I'm not one to go ripping out and facing losing data with a migration, but we either have to get another server to offload the SQL or something. Stay tuned.

http://communityserver.org/forums/t/477690.aspx?PageIndex=1 The blog has added for Community Server 2007 the "Freetextboxwrapper" so that you can insert code snippets into the blog 1 2 3 4 Not that I'm a coder But if I were This allows someone to post Actual code samples to the blog site To enable it, go into the profile and change the content editor to one of the ones with FreeTextBox to get the icon for adding code to the blog postings.

http://msmvps.com/blogs/yoda/archive/2007/06/29/so-you-were-probably-wondering-where-i-was-for-the-last-day.aspx#992368 Yoda, I don't quite understand the concept of you being a machine and hosting the blogs and the blogs being hosted at ownwebnow. Can you explain this to me or is this only understood if you have "The Force". ;) So Don in the comments asks about how the blogs are "hosted" at www.ownwebnow.com . You see while my blog admins are located in Ireland, California

So ... it's like this... I injured my RAID. I had a hardware issue. The first clue that I wasn't doing so well was when Susan woke up on Wednesday morning and realized that I wasn't responding. She did a trace route using www.dnsstuff.com (which by the way if you use it too often they have smarted up and now charge a reasonable fee for their service) and thought I had a routing problem at the colo in Dallas. She probably thought floods and power problems... heck no... I had a bigger issue

But I'm still fighting with the blogs... Either I'm getting new hardware, splitting out the IIS from the SQL, or we're going to have to dump Community Server for another platform. My major concern is all this SQL data/content. Decisions/Decisions. But we gotta do something as it's not fair to the folks that blog here to have this much performance problems..... Mail from the blogs isn't working... It might be SQL related, investigating that. And post counts are messed up - http

http://communityserver.org/forums/p/476377/560782.aspx#560782 Pardon with the performance, we're still tweaking stuff around here to get things a bit under control. I think we're going to have to do a hardware upgrade but for now seeing if we cab squeeze out a bit more on this server
