There's a stray {debug} in there. Let's try and find it.
Thanks

Member Credential Migration
Ning To Jamroom
Ning passwords are not available in the archive.
Jamroom stored passwords are 'nicely salted and hashed' on the database with no way of anyone (not even admin) knowing what they originally were.

Skin Design Questions
Ning To Jamroom
Quote: After the import will Events and the main (home page) discussion Forum appear?
Yes, they will show in the menu after import (the menu doesn't show items that don't currently exist).Quote: I want to delete and move some of the content areas on the home page. Ning has a visual editor to do this. If Jamroom has one I have missed it completely and there are some other capabilities of Ning (and WordPress) that I don't see in Jamroom.
Jamroom and the Ningja skin does have a 'visual editor'. It is called 'Site Builder', is still in beta but is downloadable for you to try on your site. Checkout https://www.jamroom.net/site-builder/forum for discussions on this new product and how to install it.The alternative to re-laying out your site is to edit the skin templates directly, either via FTP or by using the ACP skin editor. If you look through the skin index.tpl file, say, you'll hopefully notice how its split into rows and columns that contain blocks of code to display the various item lists. You can cut/paste these blocks into the locations you want them, or edit them to show the item lists you actually want. Some basic html knowledge would be required to do this.
Quote: I uploaded a much larger image than the 180x150 that I see in the CSS (in Firebug). The image gets resized and squashed. I have been looking through ACP / Skins / Style and I don't see anywhere where the height and width property of the logo are set. They are not overriden when I upload an image.
Look at the skin header.tpl template file and find the 'holder' for your logo image. You may be able to alter its CSS parameters so as to accommodate you logo size and aspect.hth

Member Credential Migration
Ning To Jamroom
Hi Clay
Ning member passwords are (rightly) not available in their archives. On import, new randomly generated Jamroom passwords are created.
There is a tool in the Ning Import module to send this new password to all imported users, with instructions on how to log in and optionally change their passwords. Emails are only sent to users who have not already logged into the new Jamroom site so you can periodically repeat the process as a reminder to your users.

Some questions for getting started
Using Jamroom
Hi - Welcome to Jamroom
Jamroom will work 'out-of-the-box' as a community site and has several pre-configured skins so that you can pick a style and feel for your website, so it might be that you could be up and running with the minimum of site configuration (just uploading a logo image would make your site unique!!). However, it is likely that you will want to do a bit more than that and some basic HTML and CSS knowledge would be useful so that you can use Jamroom's in-built features to customise further.
I would recommend looking through our documentation and maybe our free video 'getting started' course at https://www.udemy.com/start-your-own-online-community
Hope that helps

How to show different artist name?
Using Jamroom
I'm not sure where the 'a' has come from either. In most Jamroom templates that would be 'item'.
The original song artist would have been displayed with {$item.profile_name} so look for that and change it to {$item.audio_alternate_artist}
btw - what template are you editing?
Two things I would like for member profile pages
Ning To Jamroom
Quote: 1) the location of the member- city, and US state or country. My members really need to know the general location of other members when trying to help them find teachers, or planning trips to festivals, etc. Not having that show would be a disappointment to all of us.
Member location fields do get imported from the Ning archive but they are not used in the Ningja skin. I'll have a word with Douglas to see if he can fit it in somewhere.
Thanks
