The 1G servers will actually score the highest on this, since there's no OS overhead for multiple processors. I've been doing a lot of testing on this over the last month, and for the most part the more cores you have the (slightly) lower then score will be, and I believe it is due to the OS overhead of handling multiple CPUs. The more processors in your server though, the more you can handle at once - so I will be updating the server performance tool to try and take this into consideration when computing a "final" score, as a 4G server that scores 900 on the test is going to be able to handle a lot more than a 1G server that scores 1200.

The error is telling us that the URL to Akismet is wrong:


So it sounds like they may have changed their URL structure - I can check it out.

User Privacy Settings Don't Seem to Have Right Descriptions

Using Jamroom

"Private" is more restrictive than "Shared" in that you won't even be able to view the profile page - you'll get a "404 not found" if you are not the profile owner or site admin. With Shared you will get the ability to follow the profile.

I definitely understand what you are guys are looking for - I don't know if I agree, but I understand

The Privacy setup in Jamroom was setup purposefully this way - not being able find someone in search to follow them when they are set to Shared was done on purpose. I understand why at first glance that probably seems wrong, but for privacy reasons (which I outlined above) it's really the only way it can be done.

To satisfy what you are looking for - which is "private but discoverable" we would need to make a new privacy setting for that - it's not something supported at this time, nor can we make changes to the existing privacy options to "make it work" (since that weakens Jamroom's privacy model).

I've got this down to investigate for Jamroom 5.3.

Hope this helps!

Video error

Installation and Configuration

This should be fixed in the latest video module - update and reload a video and it should work on mobile now.

Hope this helps!

Google Webmaster Tools - Site Crawl Errors - Locate and Fix?

Installation and Configuration

Those URLs are not Jamroom URLs, so the errors are likely from your site before you moved to Jamroom hosting.

Clear all the errors and watch over the next few weeks what comes back.

User Privacy Settings Don't Seem to Have Right Descriptions

Using Jamroom


I understand what you're getting at, but would disagree:

1) If a profile is "private" it should be 100% private. the site owner should not be able to override that.

2) If a profile is "shared" then it should be 100% private to those who are profile owners and followers.

What you're looking for might override what the user wants. What if I want a private profile? Why should my profile image be viewable to anyone? What if I want a profile that is private for just me and my friends? Why should a user I don't know be able to see anything about me? These are the types of privacy "leaks" that has gotten facebook into trouble in the past.

When someone says "private" the expectation should be 100% privacy - this includes not being found.

If someone says "followers only" it should be just that - all items hidden from users who are not admins or followers. Again if the profile wants to be "discoverable" then they need to be global.

What I want to avoid is coding a solution that prevents the user from having final say over their privacy, so if we allow "leaks" like this then the user really does not have control - the site owner has now removed that control from them.

I know that's not what you're looking for, but hopefully you understand why the settings work the way they do. And that's not to say that we can't code in different levels to support what you're looking for - that is just not the way it currently works.

Yeah JR will try to grab the image for the user depending on the network they signed up from (i.e. FB, twitter, etc.) It does not always work since it depends on the user's privacy settings, but it does work most of the time.

One thing to check out is the Gravatar module:

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/51/gravatar-images

we use it here on Jamroom.net as it will setup "default" type images for users that have not uploaded an image.

Let me know if that helps.
