new question on re-ordering gallery images

Using Jamroom

Oh my god, how dumb am I ? lolol... thanks Paul! :D

Using the template compare tool

Design and Skin Customization

PJ, I am not seeing the Compare button as greyed out in the location where you are seeing that. But, there was a time when I did have it greyed out in almost all my custom skin templates, and I found out why and was able to fix it. Now my Compare buttons are all active and not greyed out. It happens when i create a new custom skin and my long-ago original 'mother' skin was Ningja... which later got changed to Ninja.
Read this thread and see if maybe that's your issue as well:

p.s. if that is the reason for you as well, and you do the same fix I did, then you should know that you'll have to repeat that procedure after each time you might want to CLONE it and use the new one... you'll need to repeat the method on the new clone as well so your COMPARE buttons are active again.

new question on re-ordering gallery images

Using Jamroom

I read this whole thread:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/using-jamroom/60246/order-of-galleries-on-gallery-list/search_string=rearranging+gallery+images
and it just left me confused.
I have 'allow image reordering' set ON in my galleries module for all quotas. Have had it set that way for a long time.
I have some old galleries and also just now made some new galleries with new uploaded images.
I get to an 'edit gallery' page as shown in my screenshot below, and when i click/hold my mouse on an image I can actually move it around, but when i let go of the mouse, it just jumps back to where it was and won't be moved to where I wanted to change its gallery sequence position.
I'm not understanding. Can I re-order the images in a gallery or not?
Here's the sample location in a gallery, the page where I'm trying to do so from:

Jamroom support is the best in the world.

'account delete' no longer deletes profile, only user

Using Jamroom

Lorna- re: the spammers... when you add an IP to your Banned list, you need not add just that one IP such as 209.61.151.229 Instead, ban a RANGE of IPs that cover a medium sized geographic area surrounding the spammer.
If they are say in Romania or Nigeria, then unless your website has various members legitimately from there, it's safe to ban a range in this way: 209.61.151 or 209.61.15 instead of the whole specific IP. Just take 3 or four numbers off the end of the IP and it'll ban all IPs within miles around there. Don't ban too broad by removing too many end numbers, or you might wind up banning a whole continent! You can google how to ban an IP range... and we can enter this into our Jamroom Ban module.

'account delete' no longer deletes profile, only user

Using Jamroom

Yes I was experiencing this yesterday as well. Made me pull my hair out, because it was in effect preventing me from deleting the person altogether and getting them off the pending list. I think I finally got rid of them by going into both the profile browser and the user browser separately and deleting them from there, 2 step process. But could not delete them from the Pending list until I did that. (i think I got that straight... Lorna?)

question about latest jrComment update

Using Jamroom

Good to know!
I guess most folks who added the RB module would want to USE it rather than have it disabled, so yeah it likely didn't effect many people at all.
Thanks!

question about latest jrComment update

Using Jamroom

Hi,
The latest update to Comments says:
-----------------
User Comments module change log
Version 2.1.2:
- Change: Performance updates when deleting comments on a system with a very large number of comments
- Bug Fix: File attachments on comments may not be moved to the recycle Bin in some cases
----------------
I'm wondering whether that bug fix means that I have been storing hundreds, perhaps thousands, of attached files from long since deleted comments on my site? Or is it just that they got deleted from the server right away, without sitting in the recycle bin for a while along with the deleted comment itself?
Particularly since I use Groups a whole lot- and ALL the posts in Group discussions are actually Comments. My music site has several thousand members and they love to attach big photos, music files, etc to their posts/comments all the time.

What happened to all those prior file attachments that didn't get moved to the recycle bin? Did they get deleted from my server when I deleted a group discussion or a comment, or did the attached files stay on my server?
I worry that all these files have wound up taking up space on my server, forever in limbo as orphan files that I can't identify and dump.
If so, do they eventually get deleted when the member who posted them in a comment gets deleted from my site? Or have they lost their connection to anything?
Any clarification as to what actually happened to these attached files is appreciated, thanks!

Hide/un-publish a post in the forum

Using Jamroom

I was thinking you could change it to be owned by a special profile you make that is 'inactive'- so only Admins could see any content owned by that profile. Once you wanted the topic showing again, you could return it to its original 'active' owner.

Hey those new tools sound good.

Hide/un-publish a post in the forum

Using Jamroom

Hey Dave, do you by any chance mean a thread or discussion in your forum, rather than a single post in a discussion? Just wondering, because if you actually meant a whole forum discussion, you could do it by using 'change owner'.
I'm also wondering because you used the word "un-publish" which made me think that maybe you are referring to a Blog post, not a forum post.
Just checking.
