yeah, I'm really happy with it and where it's going. I came up with a concept and some inspirational sites (facebook, engaget, microsoft, and t new yorker) and Ruben has been kicking large amounts of ass in making a great site.

title says it all. Is there a way I could implement an upvote / downvote system into every reply in a discussion form, or can I only vote on the entire discussion once?

push notification to phones?

Ning To Jamroom

Yes, that's where the $5 comes from. It's worth asking my members about, but right now it doesn't seem like the priority. My goal in setting something like this up would be to help compete with facebook groups, but $5 vs free is going to lose anyway so I'm going to have to think this through a bit more.

so far the big thing I've found is that it's $5 per user who wants it, not $5 per site. That makes a huge difference.

if pushover works that would be incredible. It actually seems way too good to be true for that price, so I won't get my hopes up while I look into it.

push notification to phones?

Ning To Jamroom

I'm making the move from Ning to Jamroom. I'm excited about it and have been working hard to make a better site, not just a copy of my old network.

One thing I'd like to find out about is push notifications. Is there a way a member could check a box and have it say "alert my phone when someone responds to this post" or something like that? That is one thing that facebook has going for it that I can't currently compete with.

thanks

Modern Responsive design examples

Ning To Jamroom

@ michael and/or Gary,

so what you are saying is it's more of a one-off css edit than it is a theme thats flexible for multiple users? I'm interested.

how much would it cost to make it look similar to one of those theme forest templates you linked to, and who does that kind of work on JR?

This is the main thing keeping me from moving over, which I badly want to do.

Jamroom seems to have a great set of tools, excellent customer service, and a future I can trust. But I haven't seen a site that doesn't look dated and visually unattractive, and my users care about that (so I care about that).


The best sites I've been able to find look years old even if they are brand new. I'm doing homework on buddypress and services like that (which are worse) only because of aesthetics and end user experience. I can't be the only person with this hesitation, especially since so many Ning users were excited about the new design center they were rolling out.

I'd pay good money to move the second I saw a skin/theme/design that excited me, and anyone up to the challenge can feel free to contact me.

I've seen it discussed on here, but nobody has ever shown an example. Can Jamroom look like any of these example templates, and if so, has anyone done it?

I'm looking for a flat, modern, responsive style for my import of my Ning network to Jamroom. Can someone link or confirm that these styles are being used in Jamroom?
