devbuzz -> Info on the recent forum changes (5/25/2007 4:09:19 AM)

This last month I have tried some interesting things with DEVBUZZ. It was my intention to roll out Community Server 2007 across the board, blogs, forums and content management. I ported the 40k or so posts from ASPPlayGround to Community Server 2007; a non-trivial exercise and then started the Community Server 2007 roll out. Unfortunately the performance of Community Server 2007 was very disappointing. Whilst it may be the last word in blogging functionality the initialization and aggregation performance is abysmal. I reached out to Telligent and got excellent support from them, although they didn't seem to think that the forum performance was that bad but I was never happy with it, it was much slower than ASPPlayGround. If anything I have even more respect for how well built and performance oriented ASPPlayGround is after this exercise. So we fall back to plan B - which is to RSS enable the forums and introduce some new content management features - time for more custom development.

Finally I got a few moments to roll out the new forum look that has been on the cards for a while. There's nothing new on the software side, still using ASPPlayground.NET but using the latest Unicode version with this new look and feel. This design is a little lighter and faster - and it makes for a nice change from the old forum look (see here and here).

All comments welcome and please drop me a line at derek@devbuzz.com if you see something out of place.

Regards
Derek
