A lot of users will still prefer the forum to report problems or ask for new features etc, a false forum pointing to respective area of tracker will help reduce this.

Hey
Having the option to redirect a forum category link to another location would be nice.

Issue Tracker and Site search
Suggestions
There may be a logical reason for issues not being searchable via the site search box, but could this be added as an option, off by default?

To keep using JR or not?
Using Jamroom
Just a thought if you guys did the integrated stuff in a high end skin, say $100, Media Pro or Pro Jam would be two very good starting points. I for one would buy it in an instance.
That way those who want to customise every aspect can choose a lesser skin without all the seamless integration stuff and those that want it can pay a little more to get it out of the box.
I understand resources are limited but feel this could be killer for quite a few people.
(PS that's a shameless plug on my part to save myself a lot of work lol)

Using Jamroom
Well PhpFox was more a plug and go solution, since it had a wider range of 3rd party modules, from stores, business directory, auctions to social ads, gamification (for want of a better term) modules etc. it meant if you could afford them you could build a site very quickly.
My biggest problem with jamroom currently is my lack of knowledge of smarty tbh, I am the type of person that can hack things together but if I have to start from scratch I soon lose interest. I'd sooner pay someone else for modules as for me it would usually be more cost effective.
Creating a Business directory with JR wouldn't be all that hard really, a new quota, a more business like profile layout, and your almost there.
The music side is handled very well, just need to tie the various related modules into seamless sections, so for example Music Charts would be comprised of Soundcloud and Local audio tracks. Audio lists would comingle both seamlessly.
Same for Videos, Youtube and Vimeo, And photo galleries/Flickr. I feel having the separate sections on profiles leaves it a bit too complicated. To the user of the site it should all be together in the respective sections and then if a quota doesn't have access to any of the modules it wont mean there stuff is segmented somewhere else.
The timeline will take some getting used to I am more accustomed to a Facebook like wall, but I don't think it would be a massive job to adapt the timeline either. Remove 140 character limit, support JrEmbed so media could be directly embedded in timeline. And fix the comment links, sometimes when you click a link in the timeline you just get redirected to the timeline rather that going to the item shown. (But that may be a misunderstanding on my part).
I'd also be thinking about cloning followers and adding the notion of friends to the system.
That seems like a lot of negative but JR has a lot of advantages over PhpFox
Much cheaper to get started for starters
Responsive out of the box
Form Designer really is nice
Aparna, having the functions to post to timeline etc all cloned is nice and well thought out.
Marketplace in admin
Option to roll back to previous version at the click of a button, very nice
I love the fact that the few 3rd party modules that have been done seamlessly integrate with everything, Google Maps is a good example.
Being alerted when a product has an update
Changelog easily visible in marketplace
and many more..
I know Paul has a number of modules coming soon so those will be interesting to look at.

Using Jamroom
It's always a tough call I had been using PhpFox on and off for years and with their upcoming V4 they are taking a path I don't want to follow. 3rd party Addons as a service, where a site owner would subscribe to the module and never have any code on their own server. Add to this the guy that did the music section on my site sadly passed away earlier this year it leaves it hard to stay there.
I am back evaluating Jamroom again, and although I have bought a lot of the modules I still haven't made up my mind.
Can I redo what I had with PhpFox? For the most part yes, but it will take a lot more work from me to do it with Jamroom. I can see the finished product but it's getting there that will be the hard bit.
Attracting developers to any system at the moment is tough as sales are down everywhere, the hobbyist social network craze has slowly been dying these past few years.

Thanks for checking Brian
Modern browsers are a pain to deal with at times.
One option might be to only record the 1st event from an IP within a set time? But that could put extra unwanted load on the server.
