This is a SharePoint Community Site. Why are you using DotNetNuke ?
SharePointing - The Act of Collaborating By Steve Walker on 2/7/2006

I have gotten quite a lot of feedback from folks asking why we built a SharePoint Community Site on DotnetNuke and not on SharePoint. I have a lot of experience with both SharePoint and DotNetNuke and for the most part, my experience tells me that SharePoint is GREAT for collaboration and is wonderful to use as long as you have 2 things. Fast Connectivity and User Accounts.

In the current version of SharePoint, each user for SharePoint must also be a user on the SharePoint Server. This leads to licensing issues when the site is hosting a large communty. DotNetNuke doesn't have any of those limitations from a Licensing standpoint.

DotNetNuke is a good alternative to SharePoint for external (Extranet) sites but shows its weakness in the Document Collaboration / Microsoft Office Integration area. This is the area where Sharepoint shines.

My First Blog Entry
SharePointing - The Act of Collaborating By Steve Walker on 1/26/2006

I have been a very active member of the forums community on asp.net and have tried to get a blog on there (to no avail unfortunately)... Since most of the work I have been doing lately has been related in someway to SharePoint. I thought I'd set up a blog that I could use to share those interesting tidbits of information that you would like to let everyone else find out about.

If there is something specific that you are looking for in relation to SharePoint, let me eknow and I will either publish an Article on here or a blog post (at least) giving as much guidance as I can.
