Blog Fix Coming Soon!

I want to let you know personally that Donny and I are working with Scott Watermasysk and Telligent Systems to get a new build of the .TEXT blog engine running on the Junkies sites. As the sites have grown, they have put an enormous strain on the blog engine and there is a bug in the version of .TEXT that we are running that causes a caching exception to occur under heavy load. The only current solution is to restart the .TEXT application.

We have been assured by Scott that they will have the latest release candidate of Community Server :: Blogs (the new name for .TEXT) and an upgrade tool for us to use as early as next week. Please understand that we are doing what we can. If we cannot get .TEXT working effectively in the extremely near future we will find an alternate blog solution and get it implemented as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience.
