I'll run through a few of the issues:

- The ads that appeared in the site content were quite intrusive and a lot of folks complained about them so I took them off. I haven't added any new advertising positions to the page layout - but I accept that ads can always get in the way.

- The SQL Server news section was removed as it got very little traffic. But what I am planning is to ad a News Blog where the site Mods and Authors can ad links to relevant news items.

Migrating all the data was lots of fun as you say Mike, every article, faq , tip etc had to be manually added to the CMS.

I miss the RSS feed that aggregated very many different news around the web. It seems gone now :( Why did you have to take it away?

Hi Jude,

Nice work on migration of website and forum with Community server, it looks nice; specially the logo. Though this is my first experience with community server forum I like its look and features specially "post you have not read", "My discussion","Most viewed ", "most replied" and "Most popular thread thread in last three days" .

Regards

Hows life after SSP site upgrade...

Nice and clean - I like it.

One thing I find odd though. You've removed the adverts that appeared inside the forum and article content. Admitidly the were sometimes annoying, but I find them far less obtrusive than the banners and big boxes of sponsered links.
