Members pages show what groups the member belongs to?

Would the best way to surface the groups a member belongs to be in the Stats section? Click on the link and see the list of groups?

Images and Galleries - Don't understand the functionality
Ning To Jamroom
@Strumelia -
If you click on the image you'll see that I composited all five screen shots into a single image. Difficult to read in the lightbox but the image can be downloaded.
Again, personally, if there's no easy way to preserve the Ning album structure I'd say to heck with it and put all the images into a " Loose Images " gallery and enable users to create galleries that make sense to them. I think gallery in jr == album in Ning.
Adding a topnav link to Blog - malformed HTML

Exactly what was needed, thanks!
The leading { is missing because of a bad cut and paste.

Adding a topnav link to Blog - malformed HTML
Ning To Jamroom
I added a link to Events to the top nav using the following:
* Add Events Menu *}
{if jrCore_module_is_active('jrEvent')}
<li{if isset($_post.module) && $_post.module == 'jrEvent'} class="menu_active"{/if}><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{jrCore_module_url module="jrEvent"}">{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="28" default="Events"}</a></li>
{/if}
To do the same for Blogs I am assuming just replace every instance of jrEvent with jrBlog. But - what's the skin id for blog? Is there a canonical list of these somewhere? I searched for jrCore_active_skin in the documentation and didn't find the answer I was looking for.
And just because it's bugging me ... how come the opening <li isn't closed? I took a look at all the menu items within the Site Builder if statement and none of them are closed. Where's the closing >?

Changing the height of the header
Ning To Jamroom
@Brian -
I ended up downloading all the CSS files locally, edited what I needed to, and FTPd them back up to the host. This way I was able to make all the changes I needed to get the header into a better - still not yet perfect - state.
How beta is beta? Production-ready to run a live site?
Thanks.

Default paragraph formatting of Event text is screwy
Ning To Jamroom
@Brian -
I can appreciate there is garbage in the Ning import. The problem is that the formatting issue I am talking about - extra spacing between paragraphs, is happening on new content I enter:
The interparagraph spacing on this page is wrong. I did a cut and paste from the About blog, where it appeared to be spaced properly:
http://www.thechocolatelife.info/thechocolatelife/chocliferoot/forum/faqs-on-using-the-new-site/14479/new-features-and-changes
Here's a new Forum where I types stuff in by hand. It shows the same problems with the paragraph spacing as the Event listing I pasted in above.

The 5.2.20 beta release fixes these issues? It's not a CSS thing?
Images and Galleries - Don't understand the functionality
Ning To Jamroom
In the topmost screenshot, there are three ways to view images.
The first is to click on Images in the top nav. This displays images in reverse chron order based on either _created or _updated.
In the module ribbon Gallery takes you to the profile's Image Gallery.
In the Stats area, Images: XXX takes you to the profile's Image Gallery.
I think this is wrong - it should take the person to a list of images similar to the one displayed when clicking Images from the top nav. It's also confusing because Gallery and Images are conflated to mean the same thing when the word Images is already used on the page to mean something else.
So I click on either one and it takes me to the same page (second screen shot):
http://www.thechocolatelife.info/thechocolatelife/chocliferoot/gallery
Why are only two galleries displayed? As you can see from the next screen shot, there are LOTS of galleries! (Right, there is a config variable set somewhere at 2. But where is it?)
Looking more closely ...
Look at the order of the images in the second gallery in my profile page (the third screen shot). Now I look at the gallery (fourth screen shot). The ribbon of preview images on the gallery page is different from the images displayed on my profile page. ??
Finally - despite being shown two galleries on my profile page and probably 354 galleries (the number of images I have uploaded) on the photo edit page, it looks like 353 images (bottom screen shot) have been put into one gallery. Maybe.
At this point - for me and all of my members, I am happy just to delete all existing galleries and put every member's photos into a default gallery as long as I don't lose titles and captions (and comments if there are any).
That is, unless, there is a fix to get all of the images into the correct albums/galleries and assign all images not already explicitly assigned to galleries to a gallery named " Loose Images ".
Looking at my Ning site, I created 31 albums -- but not all images are in albums (defined as curated collections of two or more images). Across my entire membership, there are 391 albums comprised of over 9000 images.

Page break not breaking
Ning To Jamroom
@Brian -
I can see the page break working when I look at the About blog on my profile page. It's still not working on the Home Page.
NingJa 1.0.12 is a skin update ... is there a utility that can scan to see which template files I have updated and am using? They are scattered all over the place.
Page break not breaking

@Brian -
Did not work for me after updating.
Do I also have to do the beta jrCore 5.2.20b1 upgrade?
I am running in developer mode so I should not need to reset the caches.
Default paragraph formatting of Event text is screwy
Ning To Jamroom
I am getting inconsistent formatting results.
On at least one imported forum discussion it looks like paragraphs might be missing entirel, but only in some entries. There are entries where paragraphs are missing at the top, then they are okay towards the bottom:
http://www.thechocolatelife.info/thechocolatelife/chocliferoot/forum/tasting-notes/942/weird-flavors-and-inclusions-in-chocolate
On a new forum category I am getting the same double paragraph spacing issue as with events:
