files in groups - transfer issues
Ning To Jamroom
That would have been AWESOME to know before the transfer. While I understand that's a limitation of Ning's archiving tool, the jamroom marketing strongly implied that it was a complete site transfer from my network.
"Ning 2 sites can be fully imported from a Ning archive set."
There's no asterisk there that would have prepared me or my members for the information that's lost. This is going to cost a few of my important members time and money that they already invested in me once. That's bad PR for everyone involved.
I did homework and waited so this kind of thing wouldn't happen. Of course I'm responsible for not doing enough homework or asking the right questions. It's just embarrassing and frustrating to be wrong about a number of important things.
which brings me back to the point - is there anything I can do now? I haven't cancelled my Ning membership manually, but typing in my .ning.com address forwards me to my new jamroom site. Now do I get that content?
