Suggestion for the Timeline on Main Page
Ning To Jamroom
This can already be done. Go to the action's detail page and there's a delete button there.

for photo titles and admin comments will i need a wipe of those?
Ning To Jamroom
Correct. There are 4 Ning member status options - Active, Pending, Suspending and Left.
Active members get imported to their selected quota.
Pending members optionally get imported to their selected quota but with their Jamroom status also set to pending.
Suspended members optionally get imported to their selected quota but with their Jamroom status set to inactive.
Left members do not get imported.
See the jrNingImport config page to set these options up.

jrNingImport V1.1.10 now in the Marketplace.
There's actually no real difference with V1.1.9 except that the 'Manage Media' tool with I thought wax no longer needed and removed a couple of versions ago is actually needed, so has been re-instated.
So carry on importing from where you left off and all should be ok.
Thanks

All too happy to hold off til you give the ok Paul.
--> Question for PAUL:
Also, isn't there an option besides "delete and replace" that will leave in place content that is identical both on the site and in the fresh archive and is already in place on the site?- and that that option would take far less time? And...that same option would also delete stuff that's on the site but not in the fresher archive being imported? (in effect like an incremental hard drive back up that doesn't touch stuff that is still identical on both ends)
(sorry, hope you can understand my question, Paul)

The 'Create only' option checks for existing imported items and skips past them if they are already imported, so repeating that import option with a newly uploaded archive will just import the new items.
Deleting JR items that are no longer in the archive is not supported.

No - It doesn't affect audio imports as there are no description fields or comments in the Ning music archive.

Hey Guys - Can you hold off any re-imports for the moment? I've just come across an issue with the way that the module handles media referenced in item descriptions and comment texts which could mean that they wouldn't show unless everything was re-imported again. Let me sort that first.
Thanks

If we have a fresher ning archive and start by checking 'delete and re-import' and start with profiles/members re-import, then if I understand correctly any test members or friend site testers we have added or who have joined our JR site since the last ning import will be deleted, correct? And that goes for content as well if we check that option for every module folder as we import our newer archive? All our 'test' posts and say videos we posted as a JR test will be deleted if that option is checked for Discussions and Videos, etc, right? Just want to know what to expect, thanks.

Correct - The database tables are 'truncated' which means that 'everything' is deleted.

Sorry SE - This thing called Christmas getting in the way of things
To get the photo titles you would just need to select the photo 'delete and re-import' option.
However, deleting and re-importing profiles after all the other items that have been associated with them could be dangerous. Jamroom items are associated with profiles and users with the _profile_id/_user_id variables which are created sequentially as profiles and users are created. If nothing has changed in your members archive, and you have not added any new ones by hand, re-importing them using the 'delete' option should 'theoretically' yield the same IDs for the same profile/user names so all should be ok, but I wouldn't guarantee it!!
If it was me, I would want to subsequently re-import all the other items after the profiles so that I was sure, but understand that that might be a big job on your site, so maybe re-import the members first, then see how things look.
