test site migrating 3.0 ning site
Ning To Jamroom
Just a tip Zach, when you are ready to actually invite your members live- having done this just a couple weeks ago, and going through the email/password tool thing-
The tool works really well to send members their new passwords and get them over. However, there will be a few members who for one reason or another cannot seem to log in.
Maybe they are typing out their robot-assigned password by hand and making a typo. Or maybe there is an extra space in their old ning user name and they are not putting that space there when trying to log in.
In any case, if you get these folks emailing you for help, you can just go to their profile page on your new site and go to their Gear icon 'settings' and then go to the ACCOUNT TAB- you can give them a new and simple password (like robert123), and check their login username for any typos or extra spaces. Then save. (this stuff needs to be done in their Account Tab). I then send them a new email myself and tell them to copy/paste the username and (my new) password EXACTLY as I give to them...and that once they are logged in they can change anything in their account settings themselves.
This has worked great for several dozen of my 4800 members who for one reason or another could not log in with their email-assigned password.
Zach- you can also EDIT what you want that password email invite to say once you are ready...but maybe you knew that already.
Good luck!
