Lotus Nut

After much lab testing, we felt that it was a good time to upgrade BleedYellow to Connections 2.0. As you may have noticed, the site is now Blue. This is the default style for Connections. We are currently in the process of painting it yellow again so that you can see the transformation.

Most of my past week was devoted to testing this upgrade in the lab. After working with IBM and some YellowBleeders, we found that all components (except the forum) were fully operational. But we all know that sometimes success in the lab does not translate into pruduction success. We have seen a few things go wrong with this upgrade. We have encountered an issue with the new Homepage and will be adding that feature shortly. Unfortunately, we have also run into an error with Communities after the upgrade. We're hard at work with IBM to get that resolved. The other known issue is an error message after sending colleague invitations. The invitations do go through and the recipient can accept them, but there is an error when you send it. Feel free to use this feature and disregard the error. We will get that sorted out as well.

So, have fun with the updates to the various features. More on those later... :)
