Inviting 2000+ Ning members to log in - anything I should know before jumping in?
Ning To Jamroom
paul:
Also note that the NingImport send email tool only sends to users that have not yet logged in, so in a couple of weeks time (or whenever) you can change the template wording and resend so as to give those members a nudge.
Yes, I love that feature of the Import email tool! I actually did this four times with my 3,000 members importing from Ning, spread over a period of 6 months. Each time a couple hundred more members finally logged in, and those having trouble contacted me and I helped them log in. The last email I sent out was a warning that their accounts would be removed if they didn't log in at least once.
I wound up removing those folks, since they never responded over 6 months even though their email addresses passed the Kickbox test. It was a good way to get rid of deadwood... I no longer had to store photos of deceased members' dogs on my server.
