This problem is so obscure I've forgotten what it was that I did to fix this, or if I ever did. In Firefox, all is well. But in IE7, when I login and go to a particular blog to manage, and click say, "write a blog post", the Write a Blog post page comes up with the blog I originally chose...

I was just wondering... how backwards compatible will CS2008 be with older themes? I currently use a modified Lean and Green theme, but with the new features such as groups, messaging, etc, will it even be compatible with 2008? If it won't be, I better get porting my theme to a 2008 version!

One thing I really liked about CS 2007 was it's ability to mirror content in a blog. I am not seeing that option in the new 2008 interface. Is that still an option? If so, where do I access it? Thanks.

Beyond bug fixes, would there be anyway to get some clue as to what might be changing from a functionality / architecture standpoint between the 2008 Beta 1 and the current and/or final production release? I am trying to plan the way in which our system will be built around CS 2008, and I am hoping to...

Is there help file (.chm) or documentation for Community server 2008, so that I can know more about the new features implemented in 2008 such as groups etc.

Will there be a configuration setting that sets the storage quota that a user can upload as their files? Michael

I have new users set to be moderated. Will they automatically become trusted after so many posts? I think I would like to set it so that after they submitted 10, or 20 posts that we accept, they should become trusted so we don't have to moderate them forever. Is this automatic? Can I set the number...

Hello all -- I have been trying to find a way to skin a user profile page in the context of the blog where the information displays (such as on a post or comment) and I cannot find a way to do this. Help would be much appreciated! Here is the scenario: Our site has 3 blogs, each with a unique...

Hi, I'm testing out CS 2008 locally. Any time that I try to browse to the control panel I get a very non descriptive timeout error. Any help here would be appreciated, I don't have much to go on right now. Thanks! Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the...

I am using the REST API to create a new group. Below is the code. The code always fails when I call webservice.AddGroup(group) with the following error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." The Group is created and I can access it using the CS front end but why the error...

I'm looking at implementing a large number of groups (30 or so) each with their own forums. I'd like each of these forums to exist in their individual groups but to also be pulled up to the main site forums. This way users would see the posts for 'spongebob' whether they're in the...

Now that I have upgraded to 2008, it seems as though the forum permissions that I had no longer apply. On the control panel everything looks ok, but now any registered user seems to have full access to the forums. Do permissioners created in 2007 carry over to 2008? How can I fix this>

I purchased CS 2007 Persnal to me which version updated as CS 2008 version of CS 2008 Personal I have not found. Thanks you in advice for your attention to the problem.

I can't found SDK for CS 2008? I really need it ASAP as we want to move our current site to new version as soon as possible! Also i can't found "timeline" for future versions (Beta2,3 etc, pre-release etc) for CS 2008 and most important - price info

Just upgraded to 2008. I have an alphabetized 1500 entry glossary that I want to upload into one of my blogs. Does it make more sense to create a page where I manually code the whole thing, or to upload multiple entries? Or is there a feature in CS 2008 that might make this easier to create/manage?

Hi I'm working with the new Hawaii theme and I find that customizing this theme isn't as dynamic as the calypso theme. Is there a way to add "What's New," and other things of this nature. On a side note, how was the Site Activity section added to the community dashboard when users...

Is it possible to upgrade from CS 2.1 to CS 2008 Beta2 directly? Or do we first have to upgrade to CS 2007.1 and then upgrade it to CS 2008 Beta2? In addition, what is the best way to upgrade themed files that we have previously customized? Finally, when CS 2008 Release version is ready, will...

I would like to know how to mass import users (and hopefully user types) by using the API and either a TXT file or XML. Any ideas? We would like to be able to mass import users from a CSV, TXT, or XML file and thought the API would allow for this, but documentation is scarece. Any help, pointers, ideas...

I would like to add Account Activation via email on my site but when a new user clicks on the link to login for the first time they are taken to the home page. Once a user logs into the first time they should be asked to create a new password that they would remember. Or directed to a "welcome...

It's alright. I'm using a plugin for WLW. But I really would like to have it implemented on the server side, although it is worse in terms of server load. Thanks, it works for the moment, but I rethrow the question It's good to have several options! don't you think? A CSModule or...

This is a very important piece of functionality that seems to be missing, are their any plans to add this in the near future, or any hacks to do it now?

Josh Ledgard Do you mean by the end user or by the admin? if you had to pick one which would it be. Widgets Oh, goodness, I don't think our users could cope with that! No, just for the admins for now. Purpose is twofold: To be able to easily promote behaviours we want to encourage...

Hi, My client is building an identity meta-system that provides authentication and mebership services to an entire suite of products (of which Community Server is but one). To this end I'm looking for resources on the following as they relate to Community Server 2008: Single sign-on using...

We are trying to create a multilevel forum hierarchy. Since Forum Groups can't be nested we need to have Forum Groups at the top levels, and then Forums and Subforums at the next levels. But the behavior is consistent between Forum Groups and Forums that parent Subforums. This is particularly noteworth...
