Recently I was given the opportunity to review and test the Dynamic Registration Module offered by Data Springs Inc.  I have to say of the DNN modules that I have reviewed this is one of the better ones out there.  I have yet to implement this on a production site yet, but have extensively tested the module and their documentation and it passed with flying colors.

As noted in my previous blog posting I have upgraded this website to be running DotNetNuke 4.6.0.  Prior to the upgrade this site was running DNN 4.5.2 and I performed a direct upgrade to 4.6.0.  Also as I mentioned in my previous posting the upgrade didn't go all that smooth, with the site being down for almost an hour as I worked out the "bugs" that I identified with the 4.6.0 upgrade.  This article will discuss one of the issues that I encountered relating to the Whitespace Filter.
