Just a thought- What version of jrCore are you running?
Is not jrSystemTools intended for JR version 6... are you maybe running an older version of Core?

Group members unable to access Group Discussions intermittently

Using Jamroom

Are you sure they are logged in when they first go follow the link? If they're not logged in yet, then they would be seen by the system as not being members of the group, and they would see exactly what you are describing. You then say they have no problem 'after a few hours' when they return to the group... I'm guessing that by that time they are logged into the site and can see the replies in group discussions.
If your site its set so that only group members can see the replies to group discussions, then they must be logged IN to be counted as group members by the system.

Hi Scott, I'm just a satisfied Jamroom customer for the past two years.
My music site for musicians has 3,500 members, only a certain portion of whom are active at any particular time. They do post some videos and audio clips, photos, and I have 62 Groups and a large Forum. Your JR site can have as many members as you want- as long as all your site(s) content fits on the server size you chose.
My site uses about 22 GB of server space. It could possibly fit on JR's 24 GB server plan, https://www.jamroom.net/hosting
-but I chose a Jamroom-hosted server of 48 GB, because I have a 2nd Jamroom site on my SAME server and hope to add more sites eventually... each with their own domain and each functions separately... but they will all be on one Jamroom server, at only the one monthly cost to me...so I have the slightly larger server so I have room when I need it. You can put as many Jamroom sites on your server as will fit (with member content). If you get too full you can either remove some content or simply click a button to go to the next larger JR server size and plan. It's really easy- I did it once myself when i needed a larger sized Jamroom server only for a day while I was duplicating sites... then I clicked a button and went back to my smaller server when I was done.

I highly recommend the Jamroom hosted plans... very smooth fast function for two years now and any time any server issue comes up the JR Team fixes it immediately. I mean immediately.
Here is my social site in case you want to take a look: https://fotmd.com/ Sorry, i can't show you the Admin areas but you can get an idea of what I offer my members on my (very plain) site. Please keep in mind that my members like things to be old fashioned and simple, so my site is designed that way.

If you get the JR hosting plan, you have unlimited access to all the modules available- there are over 200, plus many different skins to accommodate different site styles and needs. All skins are mobile-compatible. You can make your site into anything YOU like- you can make it completely different from mine and have completely different functions. Jamroom modules and skins offer virtually anything you need or want to create... and it's all included in your ONE monthly server payment if you choose one of their hosted plans.
I should mention that when I came to Jamroom two years ago I knew NOTHING about how to build or run my own site. It was a bit scary. But this excellent help forum, combined with the Site Builder tool and skins, and the JR Team's unfailing support, makes it do-able for someone like me who knew absolutely nothing about coding... all I knew was a bit of basic html at the time. Though I'm still no coder, over time I have learned how to keep my site well maintained and how to make most changes to it as I need. When I come up against a problem I can't figure out, the Team is always very helpful and responsive.
I hope you'll give JR a try. I'm really glad I did.

Daily Profile Limits module not working?

Poll vote text options not showing

Using Jamroom

I tried creating another new poll, this time without using 'problem' characters that might require entities. I had no problem, so I'm concluding it must also have been the greaterthan/lessthan characters somehow preventing me from creating a new poll easily... For a long while it did not occur to me to scroll all the way up to the very top of page to see that error message after unsuccessfully hitting the Save button at bottom of page over and over.

It's an interface/design type of issue at work:
The error message doesn't popup at you, it just becomes present along the very top of the screen- only visible if you scroll up to there. So what you experience is that the save button doesn't save, it just 'flashes' when you click it and your content doesn't get saved (like when I was unknowingly using 'illegal' characters) ...leaving you wondering why it's not saving.
If you don't think to manually scroll back to the very top of the page (which i didn't), you wouldn't know there's an error message along the top...which I think is what happened to me. I just kept wondering why SAVE wouldn't save, and because I had like 8 poll option fields, there was was substantial scrolling distance between the Save button at bottom of page and the error message sitting quietly at the top of page.

So, I think both my problems were caused by the not-allowed characters, and compounding my frustration was that the location of the error message caused me to not be aware of it for a good long while.

Thank you Douglas. Marking this solved now.

But... it didn't solve the orange issue!

Poll vote text options not showing

Using Jamroom

Oh that works- I learn something new every day! Entities... who'd 'a thunk? Makes me feel like a cosmic traveller. Ok, the 'greater than/less than" problem is solved by using the entity text for such characters. This is handy for all such special characters...search for their entities...I'll remember that. Thanks Douglas

That leaves only the OTHER issue I had - when creating a poll for the first time, it didn't seem to let me add multiple voting options at once. if I did, when I 'saved' all my options would disappear and I'd have to start all over. I found if I added only ONE voting option at first, saved, and then added more voting options one at a time, saving after each, then it would 'stick'. Is this a bug? Does it act the same for you? Seems to me one should be able to create a poll by entering all the poll content and voting choices at the same time. btw I seem to have no trouble editing and saving the poll or the voting options AFTER it's already created.


(USER TIPS: If you plan to be the only user allowed to create polls, then think about creating a special profile off of your master admin user account just for creating site polls. I created one and called it Pollster and gave it a clipboard image avatar. For future polls, I'll have Pollster create (and thus 'own') all polls. That way when member go to vote on a poll, or when they see the "new vote placed on the poll" item in the main page activity feed, the avatar and name associated with it will be Pollster's, not my usual personal profile. Makes it seem more official and less personally connected to me as the site owner. ....Also, try that tip in one of my above posts concerning line 46 of the Poll Module's language string so it doesn't look in the Timelines like the poll creator voted over and over.)

Poll vote text options not showing

Yes it happens when using a space too. Usually not a problem, but when creating polls... it really ties one's hands! Seems i got it to work but irregularly, if I typed the character, then 'cut' it, then used "paste as plain text". But I couldn't get that workaround to work reliably.
