So some communities have been experiencing the following as a problem on their dashboard.

I know, I know, this sounds odd, “TwitPress” – almost like “It’s blogging stoopid” or somesuch. No this is better.
The idea is that if any member of a community uses twitter.com, they can now post from their community blog to twitter. Why? To increase our readership. To improve our search engine ranking. To be fully [...]
It was odd. All our subdomains, like lismore.forargyll.com and developing.forargyll.com, went AWOL and were replaced by a garish green holding page. After a moment or three’s thought we had a look at the back end and decided to cut to the chase and physically create the subdomains for WPMU to use, and as soon as [...]
Meaning that a possible explanation for the AJAX-associated bug we’re dealing with is that the PHP installation we are using is a hardened, anti-virus/anti-spam/anti-trojan, version, and this then means it doesn’t like parsing, or reading, the snippets of code that are inserted in the text sent to the database when tags are used from the [...]
In our desire to trace the bug we have with the system we have upgraded to the latest and greatest version of WordPress. Everything is the same, and yet different. We apologise to everyone who may have been blind-sided by this, but we needed to get the WPMU working. Thus far it hasn’t worked, but [...]
When is a page not a page? When it just will not save. We reckon this is a bug, but we are not sure what kind of bug it is. Could it be a problem with the WPMU layer? A conflict with one of the plugins? We are just not sure, so we’re testing things [...]
Just a quick note to say we have been developing some small interface techniques, both for the community blogs and our overall for argyll homepage. yakking.forargyll.com has been added to our roster of blogs, and there’ll be more very soon. In the meantime, if you’d like to see the next iteration of our look, visit [...]
A misnomer to some extent: the social networking part of it hasn’t worked properly yet. The two functionalities which define social networking are of course ‘friends’ and ‘groups’ and we have implemented neither. The reason? Well, the two plugins available ‘Friend’s-List’ and ‘Groups’ are either not totally implemented, or not applicable to our environment. And [...]
… or something. After some serious research into the functionality of bbPress, the forum package we have used for our websites, and then some serious hacking about with the code, we have done what seemed at first an impossible thing: we have integrated our main website theme in the forum. And the really joyous thing, [...]
One of the ever-expanding questions about the Multi-user version of WordPress is, what plugins actually work? Well, we have been road-testing a number and we’ve had the joy of instant portability (Lighter Admin Drop Menus: though we could do with some of those natty icons for the Mu-specific admin items) and the frustration of instant [...]
