I was able to find some time today to start playing around with Telligent System's Community Server beta 1 today. It's not bad for a beta, though the administration piece is kind of a nightmare to navigate around...that being said, it's nowhere near as much of a nightmare to get blogs configured as .Text is. I only put about an hour into it today so I'm nowhere near ready to make any definitive statements about the product, plus it is indeed a beta so I'll probably refrain until v 1.0. My first impressions are mixedly good though. If you'd like to take a look at it, go here (please note that any and all content is simply placeholder...feel free to post whatever you want, but understand that it'll probably get erased once the final release comes out). If you would like to poke around the administration interface, contact me for a temporary admin username/password. If Telligent can get this product right, it'll be a godsend.

Woah woah woah, what is with the forums? I was running their forum software before I moved physical servers and it was spectacular - what's with the way yours looks? Did something go crap on the install or something?

Also, I should add that their forums software was by far the easiest ASP.NET forums I've ever had to setup, was a real breeze.

@ Ray:

That would be what we in the biz like to call an upgrade ;-) The look is different (though completely customizable)...the most important thing is that performance is up in orders of magnitude over the old forums...response time is extremely snappy, and the db got an overhaul, much easier to maintain. If you thought the previous forums were easy, try the new ones...zero touch deployment. Period.

Thanks for the good word, Jayson!

Rest assured, we will get CS right. v1.0 may not be exactly what you're looking for, but remember: this was a huge feat in and of itself. Every release after v1 you will see CS get nicer and nicer.

I promise you, you won't be disappointed. :)
