For some of us that are looking at migrating to DNN, the fact that there are always a bunch of error messages popping up at the DNN site is not good. I have been evaluating DNN for the last week, and I may have to reccomend against it as it just doesn't appear to be robust enough. I like how easy it is to build a page (as long as you don't get an error and crash it like I did the other night), but I am seriously concerned about the platform when the experts can't keep their stie running. I am still trying to resolve the latest issues with my local site crash from Sunday.
Sorry for being off-topic, but a couple of posts in the thread need to know this.
This is a simple hierarchy of audiences who come into contact with DNN.
- Web hosting provider
- Web services provider (webmaster and the true audience for DNN)
- Web services consumer (Site owner)
- End user (Site owner's audience)
If you are a person with a communications strategy that you have determined will benefit from a website then you are at level 3. You may well benefit from the use of a DNN site, but you should not be building DNN site/s.
DNN Corp in it's own weak front end communications does not make a distinction between level 2 and 3; it only distinguishes various development phases and technologies within the framework itself. It is essentially for a level 2 audience, and the vast majority of people in here are exactly that (plus a handful of level 3 die-hards who will do anything to save a penny).
My advice: Check the list above and pick a number. If it's a 2, then prepare to stick around in here for a few years. If it's a 3, then run like mad.. and instead purchase the many years of someone else' frustrations for a few Dollars a month.
