Community Server 2.1 SP1?

Wow, talk about oblivious. I've been so heads-down on other stuff that I completely missed the Community Server service pack that was released on Monday. I only noticed that because I was headed over to the CS forums to find out how to enable HTML in comments, which doesn't seem to be working/enabled (still researching). As for the SP, I've already got it installed (the upgrade was absolutely painless and thankfully did not require a complete upload of CS), and it seems to not be exploderating in my face. Kudos to Telligent on the easy update!

[Update] I still haven't found any evidence of a feature to enable HTML in blog comments(the Magic 8-Ball says "not likely"), but I did run across Ken Robertson's ClearCommentCache module, which is quite handy. Ken sure has done a lot to enhance my comment functionality.

Good lord, when is the last time I looked at this stuff?

There is no feature to enable HTML in comments.  They are always striped.  If you wanted to enable it, you would need to do a custom build.  In the WeblogPosts class (I believe) there is a line like Transforms.StripXmlAndHtmlTags(), need to comment it out.

Thanks, Ken! I had always assumed that it worked like forum posts, where CS would allow the tags defined in the communityServer.config file. It's not so important that I'm going to go recompiling CS for it (I'm not a big fan of modifying the core product). It just seemed like there would be an option for it somewhere.

After Scott tipped me off that there was a module responsible for the scrubbing, my search led me right to that same method: SafeFeedback. I'd rather not make changes to the original code if I can avoid it, so I'm probably going to replace the responsible module altogether.
