i might have to play with site builder again
but i think i can just as easiloy edit the templates with the seamless codes

i wish there was a way to work on a skin like in sitebuilder when its not active but you can still see the stuff your doing like ning 2 had a test network never really worked perfectly but was like an isolated environment u could trry out things in then import it into the live network
if there was a way to work on the sitebuilder in an 'offline' mode or something that wasnt visible to users till it was activated but admins could switch into it for development ...maybe an addition to the development tools that put a skin into a temporary test folder where you can work on it by just going to yoursite.com/test..developing the whiole sites look and function then click activate and it goes live

the show tours checkbox disables it from showing!
i unchecked show tours on 1 and the master admins box popped right up

thats not expected behavior is it?

hip hip hooray for the jr team!


Ning To Jamroom

you guys are infinitely patient with our confusion, our constant barrage of questions, and our often overwhelming requests for changes and tweaks

you give us what we ask for and faster then any of us can believe (especially after dealing with ning)

you (especialy you @paul) have gone beyond the call of duty to provide hands on help when needed

and although alot of us are still confused by the new system thats far diferent then the ning we were used to
your helping us just enough to give us the clues we need to figure things out on our own (slowly) and learn this alien but powerful beast called jamroom

for us it really is like taming something wild and slightly scary
but every day we get a lil closer to having it under control

and you truly have been awesome and i just want you to know that even though at times we may seem frustrated confused or like we expect too much too fast... we realllllly appreciate you

i dont know what we can do to repay you except get our sites finished and perfectred...and go live then post them all over nings creators as an example of just what you can do with a lil effort and a willingness to try something new

i have coding and web design experience (just the smarty templattes stuffs all new to me) and this is still tricky to get used to for me

but for many ningsters its like trying to take the training wheels off a tricycle and hop into a mig 29 or su35 and expect to be able to pull off 6 g aurobatics with no more instructions then "this stick makes u go up and down and that lever makes u go faster'

this ning to jr forum needs the faq module and some of our better detail orientated writers (not me!) to write up a how to guide geared towards those stuck in the ning mentality so we can show them what can be done and how to do it semi easily


i definately am looking forward to polishing off my site then showing it off on ning as an example to hopefully persuade a few more to join us here

yea i know thats what seemless does i just havent been able to figure out how to do it lol

i think i need to create something in seemless that combines the 3 vid modules then use a code to replace the vid code in the acctivity or maybe in jr action ..
i looked at it abit but i know if i cant figure it out then strumelias going to need very detailed easy to follow step by step instructions

(and strum if u need hands on help let me know and ill show u exactly what i am doing in fact if u want we could do a screen share thing so u can watch how its done)

there is no master admin options except on the account thats already a master admin...or 1 im newly creating
but none that im editing have the master admin section at all

i know it makes no sence and it should be there wich would be intuitive and easy but i went over and over and over trying to find it and could bnot find it except by creating a new account ..

its just not there

again problem solved but no idea how or why
once logged in as the new account i was able to change ☮ soaring eagle ॐ to an admin account then delete the soaringeagle 1
i have no idea why it worked or why it didnt before

the whole process made no sence
but somehow it worked
