User Privacy Settings Don't Seem to Have Right Descriptions
Using Jamroom

If you are NOT a follower of a profile that is set to Shared, then you'll see a "follow" button on the profile page - i.e.

https://www.jamroom.net/jamroom-hosting

so I'm not seeing an issue here.

Emails for forum updates
Using Jamroom

Dave - do you have a non-comcast email address? Looks like our email is being blocked:

Failed: support@jamroom.net → xxxxxxxxx@comcast.net '[Jamroom] New Reply: Emails for forum updates' Server response: 554 554 resimta-po-25v.sys.comcast.net comcast 184.173.153.43 Comcast block for spam. Please see http://postmaster.comcast.net/smtp-error-codes.php#BL000000

I'll contact Mailgun about this as it's actually a block happening at the IP level - not at the Jamroom.net level.

But for now I would recommend updating your account to a NON comcast address. To be honest this has happened 3 - 4 times over the last year or so - ONLY with comcast, so they have some issues with their email servers.

Upcoming Hosting Maintenance - server reboots required
Jamroom Hosting

There is nothing you need to do - your server will just be inaccessible while it is being rebooted. If you attempt to connect to it while it is done, you'll get a "no server response" error in your browser.

multiple image uploads on image form field
Using Jamroom

The Gallery module has special needs which is why it uses it's own template - that should not be needed.

The "image" field type knows how to display the previously uploaded images if you are on the update form - but you have to pass in a "values" key in the form create - i.e.

// Form init
$_tmp = array(
    'submit_value' => 'save changes',
    'cancel'       => jrCore_is_profile_referrer(),
    'values'       => $_rt
);
jrCore_form_create($_tmp);

where $_rt is the item detail array - that way the field can "see" the item and show the images that already exist.

Let me know if that helps.

Google will begin ranking mobile-friendly sites higher starting April 21

douglas:The bg class has a min-width set to 1024px, that is what Google is complaining about on the Beta Launch page, the content is wider than the screen.

Cool - I will get that fixed up.

Thanks!

derrickhand300:Years ago I spent tons of time and a little money trying to Optimize for Google and in the end I actually fell in he rankings- since then I make stuff that people like and enjoy..sliders music...anything....and forget about this part of optimization for search engines....although I still try to use best practices on image tags meta tags etc....but as far as content I just build it for the user..I always figured if it was cool they would find it

This is 100% the best way to go about it :)

How To Delete Account Type in "Sign Up" form Designer
Installation and Configuration

There's no way for a file to be uploaded on sign up - it's not supported (and would be difficult to make work).

Sorry!

Upcoming Hosting Maintenance - server reboots required
Jamroom Hosting

We've just received notification from our hosting provider (Linode) that there is maintenance scheduled on all of our servers to patch 5 critical XEN vulnerabilities (this is the software that runs the servers). These vulnerabilities are going to be "released" on March 10th, so Linode is taking care of this patching before it becomes public (which is a good thing).

There is no action needed on your part, but there will be a reboot of your server during the assigned maintenance window. We've been told the maintenance window is 2 hours, but will likely just be a few minutes (my personal VPS was rebooted yesterday and was only down a couple of minutes).

For those interested, here is the Security Advisory from Linode:

http://status.linode.com/incidents/2dyvn29ds5mz

I just want to let everyone know as well that this is not "normal" - we've been using Linode for years and I can't remember the last time something like this happened, so it's not a common event - these upcoming security advisories must be critical.

If anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Most of our servers are scheduled for reboot on March 6th, with a couple on March 3rd. If you'd like to know the exact maintenance window for your server, open a ticket with us and we can let you know.

Thanks!

Beta launch doesn't have a slider though... it's just a background image + notify me form.

gary.moncrieff:I tested my skin, which is at its base Mediapro and it passed just fine. What I should add is the beta launch plugin is not mobile ready and if you have this activated when this goes live it will hurt in the short to medium term.

What's not mobile ready about the beta launch module? I can check it out.
