Sorry about the outage this morning...

I've been upgrading this site to the newest beta of Community Server 2.1.

 Feature-wise I'm quite impressed, but I have to say it was a bit of a chore performing the upgrade. I'm not sure at the moment if the problems were due to the nature of beta software, or due to some issues with my particular site (or probably, both) but I think we got there in the end. You may find one or two features not quite behaving at the moment and one or two other features that either didn't work before or which worked but sucked now behaving better.

Many thanks to José Lema and Scott Watermasysk for very quickly conspirting to fix my problem with the tag browser.

For the record, anyone else who gets problems with the CS 2.1 tag browser should probably check this thread:

IF and ONLY IF you have the same symptoms I reported, the fix is to edit the stored procedure

cs.tags.get and change the section as follows:

CREATE TABLE #Tags

(

[Name] nvarchar(255)

)

to

CREATE TABLE #Tags

(

[Name] nvarchar(255) collate database_default

)

Many thanks to José once again. My other issue with the community server blog roller is now also FIXED :-D

What makes a product is not just good software but good communities around it, and community server definately meets that aim.

Yet again, a fix to a stored procedure is required if you're getting collation errors with the blog roller, and the amendments I made to the problematic stored procedure at José's suggestion are at the URL below.
