uploaded videos no longer functioning

Using Jamroom

Uploaded videos (migrated from my ning site) used to work fine a few weeks ago.
Now they appear with thumbnail in video lists, but no longer appear in full size and will not function...black box only:

You guys are just amazing.

what is "Show Tours" ?

Using Jamroom

Are the tours only for admins? Or do all members have a 'show tours' box to activate site tips?

what is "Show Tours" ?

Using Jamroom

On profile page settings, there is a checkbox for "Show Tours", and the "?" explanation reads: "Check this option to enable tours in the user interface"
It doesn't say what 'tours' are though...
What are enabled tours?... and where can I change that help language to be more explanatory for users? -I'm not seeing it in the jrProfile module language tab. thanks

Paul, will this new tool retroactively go through all the images already on my JR site that were imported from an older ning archive? Or will it only work for new images added by users after the tool is working?
Will it be able to work when we do my 'go live' archive/import soon?

Ok, I feel reassured now- I will pay it no mind- thanks for the explanation.

Ok Michael, I'll try to ignore them. Thank you!

changing default profile image

Using Jamroom

That's VERY cool Paul, and would be the ideal choice so the admin could change their default anytime going into the future, to match all the other post-migration members. Maybe we can do this on my upcoming migration?

This issue is something people should be aware of I think...considering one gets 'stuck' with looking at these images untold thousands of times for years to come. I myself have thousands of them on my network, all identical.

changing default profile image

Using Jamroom

That's a cool adjustment Paul, and I think will help many ning migrants (if their default ning profile image is truly that small). I wonder if one might be able to finetune the import to the SAME specific number of kb that one sees in the archive for the default image that was set in Ning. That would be finetuning indeed!

Since I have not gone live yet, I solved my own issue already by changing the default image in my ning site before the final archive. However, if doing this, be aware that once it's imported and live on JR, I'm guessing you will again be 'stuck' with whatever image you chose for those ning import members...unless they upload their own new ones...or unless you try to change them yourself one at a time... =8-*

changing default profile image

Using Jamroom

Ah YES!!! I remember now... thank you!

Now, please tell me if the following that I;m thinking is all correct:

(knowing that my site is not live yet and will be imported in the next couple of weeks from Ning to finally go live, and I've been working with an old imported ning archive)

That change will now apply the new profile image to all NEW members who join. My current (non live) members all remain with their old images they brought with them from ning.
BUT... all 4500 members who get imported from ning will bring their default ning profile image with them as 'their' individual profile image, so they would not have the new image...meaning they would still have typewriter profile pix.... UNLESS before the 'go live' ning archive is made, I change the NING default image to my new one on my Ning network. Then I would download the final ning archive and they'd get ported over with their NEW image and I could go forward from there. I 'think' that's how it works for this scenario...?
