CSModule for MSN Soapbox
Have you seen the New MSN SoapBox ? It's like MSN's answer to YouTube. You can upload your videos, comment rate etc videos. From what I've seen of it so far it seems a pretty cool site. And if it's a cool site, you need to be able to integrate it to a cool application like Community Server . So, I put... Read More...

Wyatt Preul created an Community Server Add-in with a management page for installing CS Modules, and released it back in June this year as far as I can see. Basically it's a page that integrates with your System Administration... Read More...

Setting up the SDK in VS 2005
Dave mentioned this in his Monday daily news post , but I thought it was worth repeating and also correcting Dave's statement a bit. In the daily news it says Dave Stokes released a document detailing the installation of Community Server 2.1. It's actually more than that. He describes how to set up CS... Read More...

Go directly to site admin and skip the dashboard
This might be a small thing for most people, but I find it somewhat irritating to end up at the dashboard each time I want to go to the Site Administration. I click the Control Panel button, and the Dashboard appears, and I always click on Administration right away to go to the Site Administration. Dashboard... Read More...

Changing order of your forums
This is an old question I've seen asked many times, all the way back to the ASP .NET Forums time. At that time you had to manually go into the SQL Database and change the values of the SortOrder field.

Tranquilize your blog and inbox
Many of us in the Community Server Land have been talking about blog spam comments, spam rules etc the last weeks. One thing left out, at least from my own blog, is an issue that comes with these spam huntings, and that I got asked in the comments of my last post, is the fact that even if you manage...
