Forum appears on all quotas right after installing it


Using Jamroom

Are there other Quota settings in that module or just the "quota_support" option?

Thanks!

Existing users.


Installation and Configuration

Natedogg265:Should I go around proxima to get the existing user_id? Or is there an existing method I should use?

This should be working now in ProximaUser 1.0.3 - you'll get the _id and location back if you try to create an account and the username/email address already exists. Update and let me know if that works for you.

Hope this helps!

getting system update emails even when updated


Off Topic

Most likely you're getting this from an old site - make sure you've shut down any old sites you have moved on from.

It wont send you an email if there are no updates.

Proper Settings For Email Support


Installation and Configuration

AndyF:I had a personal account with Arvixe to host Jamroom when I first got started with my site. Email notifications worked just fine when I was hosting there.

I've moved the site over to a faster VPS account with Arvixe and ever since the server change, I've never been able to receive email notifications. I'm sure it's just a matter a getting the correct settings in the Global Settings under email support.

Any suggestions of where to look for proper settings needed on Arvixe or any other tips?

If Arvixe moved you, you should not have had to change anything - I would contact them since their VPS should be setup the same way as your other hosting.

Hope this helps!

Some Videos Playback in Playlists only 1 Minute?


Using Jamroom

Ken_Rich:I believe they are for sale, but that makes no sense. They play full length in their individual players so why not not the playlist players?

There's no difference there - they should play the same length regardless if where they are viewed, since the length is not controlled by the player.

The reason it plays full length for YOU is that you are an admin.

For me it pays 1:00 for both.

Shrunken Videos Surrounded by Blackness


Using Jamroom

Ken_Rich:Hi Michael,

Thanks for you input - it's as good as fixed if you are on the case. I actually have a perfect example.

http://indiegospel.net/indiegospel/playlist/2/top-10-videos

What I want you to notice, is that the same first video that is surrounded by black in this playlist player, looks 100% better in it's individual player. Just click the first video below the playlist player, the individual player opens - the black is gone.

Why can't it look that way in the playlist player too?

It probably can, but likely needs some Javascript work. The playlist player has to handle Audio, Video and Soundcloud so it has settings that are "common" for those items.

We'll see if it is doable.

Thanks!

Jamroom Hosting - looking for a few beta testers


Jamroom Hosting

paul:Strum - It does look like Arvixe do do regular domain registration so hopefully they would still be happy for you to pay them $9.95pa for your free hosting domain, even when you cancel their hosting.

I would recommend not doing this - there's no need for Arvixe to be "in control" of your domain - an actual domain registrar should be where you keep your domain. I've used Namecheap for A LONG time and can highly recommend them:

https://www.namecheap.com/

I'd avoid Godaddy unless you are already registered there (they make the bulk of their money off tricking users into signing up for things they don't need).

I think it is really important that you keep your domain registrar and your hosting separated - it gives you more control.

Is Arvixe the actual domain registrar (in other words you BOUGHT the domain through them or explicitly TRANSFERRED the domain to them) or did you just update your Nameservers at your existing domain registar (i.e. Godaddy, Namecheap, etc.) to point to Arvixe's Nameservers?
