I get the word Delete without an ID -- in Safari. I can press and hold and then drag and I can see the ID and then release, making sure cursor focus is outside the delete icon.

Yes, I read the help. But ...
How do I know I want to edit _item_id:25?
Usually I have some text in a comment. If I want to search that I need to find a relatively unique fragment and bracket it within %%.
I don't see user_name as a value in my list, but I can search on it. I can also view member accounts, get the user ID and search for that.
All doable from within the datastore browser, but, not the most straightforward way to do it. I don't have an unruly community so it's not something I do lightly or often and I did add words to the banned items list.

Then go with NOT putting them into a Group and using the Site Forum option (don't enter a name on import). That's the option for you.
Rather than nesting (threading) you can quote, which is often better, actually.

I am thinking about using the Group option without categories and recommend that members use tags so that you can find things no matter where they are. I am going to create a page that has some recommended tags on it. It's not a controlled vocabulary and it will be slow to propagate, in the long run it addresses all the issues I have, especially when you can see the entire tag cloud and see how and where a tag is used.

It can be done but it's a real kludge and I wouldn't want to rely on it as finding a specific post out of tens of thousands could take a long time and require several searches in a stepwise refinement approach. And don't forget to use the help to make it easy/ier to find something specific.
Just a note on that %D get's converted to some non-Ascii character so you can't search on that.

The discussions within Groups do not have categories that I can see. One of the things about the Ning "Forum" concept I rely on is grouping discussions by category. Is that wrong?
I don't really know if my members really use this ... need to think ... hard ... mind melting

On the home page of my site in the Newest Members section I have a member listed VASILEIOS VONIKAKIS.
http://www.thechocolatelife.com/
When I click on the name I visit a real profile page - but there is nothing there, she has entered no content.
However, the profile is not showing up when I click on the "All" link or when I search all members.
The member has not claimed their account (still in quota 1) and the privacy setting is set to global

I am looking for the name of the group ... in jrGroup somewhere? I used the category name on the home page so it may be similar?

There are others from Ning asking about this specifically...just sayin'. It's a real nice feature if a member posts a useful long post but with one inappropriate sentence in it- like for example cluelessly posting someone's address and phone number. Good to be able to edit that out without deleting the whole post heavy-handedly. Otherwise the admin feels like they are swatting a fly with a sledge hammer.

Yep. Stuff like that, exactly.

The test.tpl file is there. Along with test_row_1.tpl and test_row_2.tpl. I am pretty sure these are not part of the default skin?
