Yes one would really need to see the name of the member who posted a forum post- and a (SMALL) avatar as well would be even nicer.

Images and Galleries - Don't understand the functionality
Ning To Jamroom
Thanks, I agree- I'd rather have my members simply create new personal albums from their one overall photo pool rather than try and make sense of the odd 'galleries' I have now. I can just imagine all the confused queries I'm going to get from them about how their galleries work, as it is now.

But the id= is only for the sake of if you want your site translating into other languages- it's not actually an essential part for the link.
In case you want to try a simplified non-multilanguage link, here is what my two top nav links are currently like in my skin headermenudesktop template:
(sorry the paragraph formatting got messed up when saving to a jpg)
These two links are working fine for me.

The closing > is right at the end of: class = "menu_active" { /if } >
(Are you missing an opening bracket right at the beginning, before the asterisk?)
The id=number is going to be found in your language string tabs for a particular module.
Go to your active skin and the language tab- id=28 says "Events".
To do the same for Blogs look in the same language list and you'll see line 42 says "Blog".
I changed my Blogs top link to read id=42, and I also changed in the language list "Blog" to "Blogs" instead, and saved the changed.
Images and Galleries - Don't understand the functionality

Choc- I think we can only add one image attachment per post...subsequent attachments replace your earlier ones, so you need one post per attached screenshot.
Personally, I dislike that everyone's photos have been put into 'galleries'- I can't make sense of the whole image/gallery thing as it is now. I'd prefer to just have each member's all photos in ONE plain area for their personal photo section with NO galleries/albums at all...and let the member organize or create new albums (galleries?) from their photos later after joining if they like. I liked on ning where they had a rotating slideshow of ALL members' photos showing on the main page, that admin could set to show randomly. It generated lots of clicks and interest. Then there was the usual Photos Link in the top nav strip to go see all member photos also with sorting choices. ASnd of course the member profile page to immediately see a grid of all that member's photos at once, OR click on their albums.
I am having a hard time understanding the differences in meaning between galleries/images/albums/slideshows/lightboxes and how they are organized upon import in JR. I admit it's confusing to me. How is a gallery different from an album, for example?
Members pages show what groups the member belongs to?

I thought this had been brought up a month or two ago, but I couldn't find the thread upon searching, or recall the outcome...
I do not see on member profile pages a list of the groups that member has joined. (not groups they started, but simply groups they are a member of)
Were we not able to have this feature, or was it being considered to add? -It certainly makes it much more interesting when we see a particular member's interest groups while looking at their profile- gives kind of an overview of what they are into and helps us see at a glance whether we have things in common with them.
Thanks!
