Brian - I thought if Signups were not allowed for a quota then the quota was not visible on the signup form (and in account settings).

Tag Cloud items for Profiles?
Ning To Jamroom
I have double-checked the Skin (custom) Global config and everything is configured properly.
I may need to clarify:
There is a tag cloud on my (and others') profiles. That's not the issue.
However, the tags on those profiles don't show up in the tag cloud on the home page and there is no tab in the "All Tags" page that displays them.
It would be valuable - I think - if the tags on profiles could be made visible outside the profile they were created in.
Using Forgot Login -- Error
Ning To Jamroom
A note from a member transferring over from Ning:
"I keep getting an error message when I click on "Forgot Login" see below:
JSON response error: {"notices":[{"type":"error","text":"Form Validation missing - please refresh and try again."}]}
I reset the password for them and checked to make sure that the email address was correct.
What can I do to fix this?

Tag Cloud items for Profiles?
Ning To Jamroom
I added some tags to a member profile.
They don't appear to be in the tag cloud on the home page ... and there is no tag cloud tab for Profiles when I click on "All" tags.
Are tags on profiles deliberately being overlooked?

That bit about private profiles not being indexed by search engines (not just Google, right?) is really good news for some people.
I commend you on the decision to architect the system this way. Good job.
Have to move off Arvixe NOW -- Linode? Digital Ocean? Other?
Jamroom Hosting
Derrick -
This is all very helpful info. I am getting about 450 on my Arvixe "business" class server for $30 w/cPanel.
As a part of setting up the server they will do *one* site transfer for you, with limitations on the amount of data transferred. They did a cPanel backup of my site (about 30 gigs), moved it to another server, and unpacked everything and it worked once I got the config files right. It took them about 6 hours to make the transfer and another couple of hours for me to check that the site was okay and then do the DNS stuff I needed to do.
What I think we're doing here by sharing this stuff is getting some baseline for what hosting services will do at different price levels. More importantly, finding competent freelancers who can do the work is also important - and I may get back to you on that front when I decide to upgrade.

I know that Paul is back on Monday, I will take these up with him on his return.
(And Paul, if you are reading these - ignore them until Monday.)

Yes, it was explained that the JR follow method also helps prevent possible hacking somehow...can't remember the details though.

It's less about hacking than spamming. If we (community moderators/site admins) make it impossible for members to send Private Notes to people who don't follow them then members are protected from that form of spam. They can still spam in comments but those are usually easily outed and I can take care of those as the moderator.
I've also had members ask me if I could make their profiles private as they were showing up in Google search results and they were worried about potential stalkers. This could not be done in Ning. However, in JR, here is a Global Privacy setting in each Profile which enables members to make their profile visible only to themselves and to their followers. I don't know if this keeps their profile from being indexed by search engines but it does mean that the profile content can't easily be viewed unless the profile owner accepts a follow (there's an "approve followers" option in the account tab) from someone. I have also limited the location data to a country (edited sidebar.tpl) whereas in Ning city and state were displayed which could be used to help locate someone. So that issue is at least addressed to some extent.
As community moderators I think we assume a lot of responsibility in making the community a safe place for our members. At least it's important to MY members. And I am happy that JR has some good tools to help me manage these important details for my community.
