Are notifications unique to a profile or an account?
Jamroom Developers
DannyA:The same way your profile settings work (e.g. payout address). You have multiple accounts but you have some settings that are specific to the profile (profile name, profile picture, payout address). All these fields are profile dependent even though multiple accounts can access it.
You can have multiple accounts, but you are changing the settings for the selected PROFILE. You would probably have to specify the notification email in the notification settings instead of using the email tied to the account. This would have the added bonus of being able to send notification to a group if you wanted to (or multiple recipients). It would be much more flexible.
As a bonus, the notifications could also be sent to a callback url that would allow other actions to be triggered once a notification is received.

Items are "sold" at the profile level (not user level) so it makes sense to have the payout email address on the profile. That doesn't make sense from a notification perspective though as that is not as flexible as the current setup, which allows each individual user to decide what and how they are notified.
If you need it to work at the profile level, that is something you would have to customize yourself.
Thanks!
Looking for early Ning migrants

I don't see a Jamroom install for you in our License Manager - I can't add a license to your account until you setup your marketplace correctly in your Jamroom install. Let me know if you have done that.
Thanks!

Looking for early Ning migrants
Installation and Configuration
Kos:Brian alrightee, I'm fiddling with skins and altering css/html although I have a question. I truly want to use a Ning skin so I am truly documenting this process specifically for Ning Creators. One problem - I cut up my credit cards 10 years ago! LOL I see that you do not accept PayPal for such a small $7 purchase. Since I'm simply testing being a 'guinea pig' here (not going live), is there any way you could provide me with the Ning skin for this temporary situation? http://team1.legalisecannabis.org/
We accept PayPal for any amount - is there somewhere you saw that it said we didn't? I'd like to check that out.
I can add the skin license to your account no problem.
Thanks!

Do you need to reconvert all your media? If so I can reset things on this end if you want to reset on your end. I'm showing almost 30,000 queue entries from your system though (a lot more than 4,000) - I'm suspecting that something has gone wrong, or did you just restart the import several times?
Thanks!

Need for a Search within specific features (& Profiles/member List issues)
Installation and Configuration
First up let me say that EVERYTHING you see on your site is changeable, since it is all templates. Having supported Jamroom for a very long time, one thing I've learned is it is rare that 2 sites want the exact same layout - thus the need to make everything configurable. So in the future if you're thinking "I wonder if this is changeable" the answer will almost always be "yes".
Until I have the new Groups, Discussions and Pages modules released (hoping for tomorrow) please ignore the groups, discussions and pages - they are not setup now as they should be, and I'd rather address questions and issues about that functionality after the new release (as it is likely to change).
Thanks!

Notes vs Private Notes vs messages...??
Installation and Configuration
Strumelia:Is it possible to at some point in the not too distant future to add rich text editor to the JR Private Notes feature?
My members would be pretty disappointed in that respect- they use private messaging a LOT and are always sending pix and clips and hotlinked web images back and forth. They are passionate about their friendships on my network. I think we may again be seeing the follower vs friend dynamic at work here.
Thanks so much!

yeah - this is something we will likely get in place - to be honest Ning users seem to be the first group of users that we have worked with that really want WYSIWYG everywhere, so it's something we will be working on getting support in our modules. It's not a hard change, I just want to get the Groups functionality all working before I move on to more cosmetic changes like this.
It will for sure be a config option that you can enable though.
Hope this helps!

ning skin and photos etc
Installation and Configuration
soaringeagle:i hope you took my class notes as constructive and not a complaint i know in ways its a rough draft needing revisions and function comes before finesse
This can be very tricky - if we expose a unique class for every single element in the system, we end up with like 100,000 different classes. So instead we've tried to use some "base" classes (block, item, etc.) in most places, as that will give the most "uniform" layout and let users modify their site easily.
I know it's not perfect, but we've erred on the side of making it easy versus very specific classes. What you can do though if you need that level of precision is to add them in yourself (although I think you are already doing that).
Hope this helps!

I already had paused the queues on our conversion service, so for now everything is just sitting there - I'm not seeing the queue count increasing though - are seeing your queue count increasing?
Thanks!

Only the audio module can do this via the Tools -> Import Audio tool.
Hope this helps!
