Community Server Ate My Posts

So, I posted up a couple things over the last week or two and everything was fine. Last night I made a small rant about multiple monitor support, and its lack of, in Windows and my site went BOOM!

Some trouble shooting with Jayson, and we realize that one of my connection strings (the 1.1 one, I am a 2.0 site) was pointing to the wrong database. And for the last couple of weeks, my data has been getting split between the two database servers, continuing to work until yesterday when it just gave up.

I understand the excuse that both connection strings are needed for 1.1 compatibility blah blah but damn. What a slack excuse. Version control anyone? Keep 1.1 specific crap seperate until it is phased out next release. While I think Community Server looks sweet and is very powerful, I have never, in my whole life since owning a Commodore 64 in 1984, had an application cause me so much pain in so little time.

Anyhow, I think I'll readd the posts later this evening, and maybe get my blogML on and what other software is out there. Between my constant pain and the weirdness going on with the licensing, maybe it is time.

Bob,

2007 doesn't need multiple connection strings so I can recommend you to upgrade your site because it's running on Personal version and you won't get in trouble with licensing problems.

You can also simply use second connection string on a local CS installation to export your news posts to BlogML and then import them to production site.  I think this is one of easiest ways to do this.
