Unwanted line-breaks


Off Topic

This is an issue with the recent upgrade to TinyMCE - I will get a fix in for it.

Thanks!

Using Jamroom

sweet:Do I need to buy a module to add this option?

The module that adds what I've outlined is called "Profile Tweaks":

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/2/profile-tweaks

it does not support CSS editing (nor is there any module that we have that does).

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Using Jamroom

sweet:No, I'm not talking about the admin. I mean, users who sign up to my site, how can they customize their page? I know the old JR had a way for people to do it.

Yeah - it's what I outlined it above:

- they can set a custom background image
- they can set a custom profile index
- they can set a custom logo (if allowed in the quota).

They cannot customize the CSS or change things beyond that.

Let me know if that helps clear it up.

Thanks!

2 things missing from forums


Installation and Configuration

I think you and I just have to agree to disagree on "quality content is irrelevant" - to me content is the core of a quality site.

Anyways I'm going to mark this complete since it's something you can work in to your site.

Thanks!

Using Jamroom

sweet:does the new jr include a way for users to edit the look of their personal page by using a css editor?

No it does not - they can change their background, choose a custom index page (which is created in a WYSIWYG editor) as well as optionally set their own logo.

Hope this helps!

Just a bit of advice - my “2 cents” of course, so take it for what it’s worth :) :

Build a great site, with great content and “SEO” and “network effects” will happen on their own. Anything else is going to bring low quality users to your site.

A site with 100 “engaged” users is always going to be a better site than one with 1,000 “drive by” users who don’t participate - especially in a niche social network.

But regardless, I'll repeat that the good news is this is doable on your site if you feel like it needs to be done - there's nothing stopping you :)

soaringeagle:as a test id add it here and see if u dont have a big increase in network growth

That's not something we care about. Our forum is to support our customers. Disqus is not going to do anything for "network growth" unless you count drive by spamming as users :)

soaringeagle:well its simple
it should be there for the exact same reasons its anywhere else

I don't agree. You need to think why something should be there before you just put it there. A forum is a commenting system in and of itself - "adding" comments to a comment system is just going to confuse the majority of users.

Quote:why would u alow it on blogs and not forums

Because a blog is not a forum?

The good news is Jamroom is all templated, so you could work this in for yourself if it is something you feel is really important to your site. It is just not something we are going to add to the system.

Thanks!

This is not something we will be adding to the forum - if you need "comments on comments" then you'd want to work that in yourself. Sorry!

Ratings can be added by customizing the template and adding in the rating function call.
