As Paul said, in Ning Import module look under Tools, and then click the "Send Password" button to see your options there. That tool will send a new temp password to all imported ning profiles who have NOT YET logged in on your new site. (thus you can REPEAT the sending later on and it will ONLY get sent out later on to those who still have not logged in yet).
Note that your imported ning members will NOT be able to log in using their old ning passwords (which are not included in ning archives or .csv files).

You can edit the wording of the emailed temp password notification says, to help explain to them just the way you want to say it- edit that email text in the two templates within that same module: the templates for email message and subject.

Note also that there will be 'some' members who for one reason or another cannot seem to properly log in using their temp password (maybe they don't copy/paste correctly etc). The temp PWs tend to be long strings. They may contact you if they have trouble logging in and you can go into their account and create a NEW easy temp PW for them, and save. Use a simple pw like "BobWpassword" and then send that pw to them and usually then they have no problem. Explain to them that once they log in successfully, they can change their pw again to anything they like.

You can see the list of who has not yet logged in by looking at the user account browser at yoursite.com/user/browser. You can click on the title of the "Last Login" column to sort by all the members who have not yet logged in so you can see them.

Can de-activated members continue sending private notes if still logged in?

Ditto! (feeling kinda dumb now...go get 2nd cup of coffee..)

The Golden Rule. :D

Just wanted to say how great this is- a few posts up where Brian walked me through creating a new "user_active" form designer Field.
I notice on the user's Account settings, the field is automatically set to "0" (completely inactive) while their membership is pending approval by Admin. And that once I approve them, that setting is automatically set to "1" (active). And of course now I can quickly set it to either 1 or 0 with a simple checkbox.
If I'm not mistaken, this acts the same as setting a user back to 'pending', right?
Anyway, it's cool and soooo useful. Thanks for helping me figure out a solution.

Ok I did that Brian- thank you very much.

Here's a notification for the same comment wall new comment, with a link that DOES function properly (private group so I suspect you may only see a notice to apply to join the group, but the link works):

....Dulcimerica-- how cool, Dusty!

Ok, found one in my trash.
Here is what the emailed notification said:

....I learned my first dozen tunes or so from Bing's videos, it felt like my dulcimer life had come full circle with him filming me to be in one.
P.S. My new glasses should be coming soon, so I'll be able to spend more time at the computer.

That link 'should have' taken me to a comment on the comment wall of my private moderator Group.
Instead it takes me here:

where it says "Bad Request".
Note the only diff in the url of where I wind up is the final "-" dash in the link text.

I've gotten a small handful of notifications over the past two or three weeks where the link doesn't work- i think takes me to a page saying "bad link" or something to that effect. I didn't give it much thought because it's only occasional. If it happens again i'll post a copy of the email and a screenshot here. (I'm on JR5)

Settling in..

Installation and Configuration

Rich, as Paul said above:
From your site's ACP go to the Marketplace and add modules and skins from there.

You said you were on JR hosted server. Do as Paul says and the skins and modules you install from the Marketplace will then be there in your site and all their default templates will be in place correctly as well.
