Connecting between the sign up questions and a member's profile?

Ning To Jamroom

I'd like to be able to ask people who want to sign up for our site some questions. After they are approved for membership, I would then like the answers to those questions to automatically show up in their profile so the other members can see it. For example, we want to know what country people are from so we can help them to better connect with each other.

Is there a way to do this? or do people need to answer profile questions separately AFTER they are accepted as members?

How to have an admin embed a flyer (file) in someone else's event

Ning To Jamroom

Thank you, I will open a ticket.

How to have an admin embed a flyer (file) in someone else's event

Ning To Jamroom

So my user isn't very tech-saavy... he managed to set up his event but couldn't figure out how to add the flyer. I tried to add the flyer for him... it won't let me do that as "ABCD in Action" for some reason (even though I added the flyer as a downloadable item). I'm sure if he was tech-saavy, he would do it himself....

Here's what I did:
1. I went to his event
2. Clicked to "update" the event.
3. Clicked in the location where he wants to have the flyer (at the end of the announcement)
4. Clicked on Embed Local Media icon
5. Clicked on Embed This Media for the flyer
6. Saved the event and it didn't work... see attached file for what I got

What am I doing wrong? I'm editing his event (not my event) and the flyer is in his Files. Should I do it a different way?

I noticed that when I was the owner of the both the event and the flyer, I could do it... but then if I tried to transfer the event, the flyer turned into the attached screen shot as well.

How to have an admin embed a flyer (file) in someone else's event

Ning To Jamroom

One of our members wants to include a flyer (or a link to his flyer) in his announcement of his event. but he's not very tech-saavy. So I decided I'd try to add it for him (I know how to embed media). Unfortunately nothing worked... here's what I tried...

1. I added the file to my profile. I could see it to add embed in his event but it wouldn't show up there when we saved the event.

2. I changed the ownership of the file to him and tried to add it. Didn't work.

3. Changed the ownership of the event and the file to me. I was able to add embed the file. But when I tried to change ownership of the event back to him, the file was not there.... even when I then tried to change the file to him as well.

So any other thoughts, other than try to teach him how to embed his own file? For various reasons, it's not possible to talk with this person directly (he lives on the other side of the world from me). I could type out the directions but it seems to me that as master admin I should be able to embed files in someone else's event... I am (as I keep reminding people) the Queen of our site

Thanks for any ideas that I might try.

How to make small "buttons" bigger?

Sorry guys you've completely lost me... which leads me to believe that I can't make the buttons bigger without someone who actually knows what they're doing (as compared to me!). Thanks anyway....

Hi Nate -

That's what Douglas said, but I don't know where to find that. Can you give me directions? I'm not techy but I can follow directions.

So I just want to make sure I get this.... if anyone posts in any forum discussion (general forum or group discussions), they will automatically get notified if someone else posts in that discussion as well, even if they didn't post the original discussion? Is that right? And they can stop notifications if they so wish by going into their settings and changing their notifications.

I've noticed how nice the "buttons" (not sure what the technical name is for them) that you click on within the forum are on Jamroom... see attachments. Ours are much smaller and members don't notice them. How do I make them bigger?
