Notification problem

Using Jamroom

Awesommmmme!! DONE! :D

Are you going to set up Forum Discussions with the same option too?

Error on profile names

Installation and Configuration

All I can say is that YES, if you delete the underscore in that member's account settings (the one in their Account TAB)then the profile will work and be visible again. But they then need to log in without using the old underscore name.

how can we view influences on a profile????

Using Jamroom

Ok, but I don't need the search/'soundslike' aspect of that. Which of the above two approaches would you suggest Paul if all I want to do is add a place in a member's account settings where they themselves could fill in "Music/musicians I was inpsired by" box, save it, and have that then show in their profile page sidebar under say "My musical influences"?

huh? not understanding what you mean exactly Paul...how would the member then express who influenced them in their personal growth as a musician?

Hey this is something my members will like too, since they are all musicians! Gonna try to add it to my custom skin!- thanks! :D

Can someone please explain what profile influences are to me?

Notification problem

Using Jamroom

Yes, totally understood.

The way I see it, with a new setup, the members will still choose to receive notifications on new activity in discussions they 'follow'...or not.
The current setup doesn't really let them 'choose how many emails they receive' anyway, since they can't choose whether to receive only one notification or a notification for each new post. That been chosen for them with the current setup. We know they want to recive emails on things they are following, and they'll still have the ultimate choice to unfollow any discussion, right?

My members are expressing to me that they are dismayed (or more accurately they think something's not working right) to not be receiving a notifc's for every new post on things they have chosen to 'follow', so maybe that in itself is expressing their choice/preference, and it'll be better to give them that. As long as members don't start getting emails for everything no matter if they are following it or not...!

The good thing about doing a change like this for both Group Discussions and Forum Discussions is that it will help us admins pinpoint when there actually is a glitch in the notification system, as opposed to what I;m getting now, which is I suspect a mishmash of real glitches and functions that the members THINK are glitches- and the problem of us hunting down which of the two they really are.

Profile URL problem

Really ?? (oy!)

Notification problem

Using Jamroom

That would be logical, and good.

I'm getting regular reports of 'missing' notifications from my members, and the way it's set up now, i have little way of knowing whether there's really a 'missing' problem, or whether it's just the current setup at work...which my members are never going to understand.

Forums in groups not like profile forum

Design and Skin Customization

FWIW- I am not having that issue- I do get the text reply box in my Group discussion.
