Diabled PostComments.ascx Control

admin — Tue, 31 May 2005 13:46:00 GMT

I disabled the PostComments.ascx control for all skins until we get the upgrade completed. Let me know if you're still getting spam and what skin your using if you continue getting this crap!

Thanks,

Community Server Blogs On SqlJunkies

admin — Wed, 25 May 2005 07:58:00 GMT

Hi All,

We're almost there - We just launched Community Server Blogs on SqlJunkies http://sqljunkies.com/weblog/ - With your help we are hoping to get them running on DNJ as soon as tomorrow. We need some pounding and bug reports - we think we caught all the major bugs, but would like to make sure before rolling out to DNJ mainly because of the shear size of the DNJ WebLog's DB which is now well into GB's.

You can find out where to post bug reports here: http://sqljunkies.com/WebLog/sqljunkiesfaqblog/archive/2005/05/25/15647.aspx

Thanks again for the wait!

And to the people waiting for their blogs, I think we're near if not over 100 now - your blog will be started as soon as we roll out CS!

CS and SPAM

admin — Thu, 19 May 2005 18:26:00 GMT

Hi All,

Spam is going crazy right now. What I recommend is turning off comments for a few days. We currently have the CS code base converted and running within our architecture. The only thing left to do is get the data migrated. I've tried a few of the migration tools but they aren't cooperating. Saturday is set aside to get this finished and then we'll be taking the blogs offline one by one and going into beta.

Also, if you know of any tools out there for migration from .TEXT to CS please post, i think i've found most of them but maybe not.

Thanks,

Donny

Migration Woes.....

admin — Wed, 09 Mar 2005 02:08:00 GMT

Update on SQLJunkies.com WebLog migration process - what a pain!!!!!

It's Running!!!!

admin — Tue, 08 Mar 2005 00:25:00 GMT

Hello All,

I finally have an update. Last week was very hectic with a move etc. but i JUST (as in right now) was able to successfully migrate SqlJunkies.com WebLogs to community Server Blogs! The full migration isn't finished on my local computer, but if successful I'll be taking down SqlJunkies.com Blogs tomorrow and running the full upgrade. Depending on how long that takes I may move on to DNJ or wait until the following day. Regardless, we should be up within a day / 2!

Upgrade Utility Finished

admin — Sun, 27 Feb 2005 21:26:00 GMT

I just got word an upgrade utility from .TEXT to Community is finished. Tomorrow I'm going to run the utility locally to test - if it's successful we'll be taking the blogs down for the upgrade which I'll make a post about before we do with the estimated time we'll be down (which i won't know until i run it locally).

To all the people who have emailed about starting a blog, after the upgrade you'll be contacted for the required information!

Thanks,

Donny

Update from Scott Watermasysk (READ) - One Week Until New Release Upgrade.

Why are Bloggers Leaving? Stand By!

admin — Wed, 02 Feb 2005 00:30:00 GMT

Hello All,

It's been brought to my attention that some DNJ bloggers are leaving because of “site problems” we are well aware of the problems and have been patiently watiing the new build of .TEXT (and YES it is .TEXT problem, under strain it errors out and don't believe anyone that tells you otherwise). I have emails into Scott, the developer, telling him of the severity of the problems. He promised me over a month ago we'd have a new build in Jan. and still haven't received it. We are very close to going with a new solution. If you know of any please let me know.

Again, if you stand by the problem will be fixed as soon as possible. If you are experiencing problems let us know, all it requires is a .TEXT application restart to kill the cache.

Thanks,

Donny
