Ning To Jamroom


Cool... I did not understand this before, though perhaps you told me and it flew past..

Well, it seems that Jamroom will get a fair hearing afterall - lol...

That's very good to hear... and that's a great concept for a site... comparison checks will help filter everybody into the best homes for their networks, so that is a useful project you have going... It will ensure all the programming teams bring their "A" game too...kudos...

Ning To Jamroom

Awesome... Yes there is quite a bit of misinformation and speculation floating around over there. It's almost a full time job trying to communicate the real facts, when there is so much "noise"... I'll post this and see if that doesn't help a little...

Brian.. You might also want to check out (and possibly post in) a place called excreators.com. Comparisons are being made between different migration paths, but I don't think Jamroom is being given the type of attention it deserves. Perhaps they are unaware of the latest developments and future road map with "Ning to Jamroom" migrations...

New Design Module - Michael

Design and Skin Customization

Thank Brian,

I figured there must be a reason why it looks quick on the video, but he's saying it's too slow to be usable. Didn't add up...

The problem is he reported that in one of the Ning Forum threads where people are trying to make a decision on whether to migrate to Jamroom or not.

I'll see if I can communicate the truth of the matter there...

New Design Module - Michael

Design and Skin Customization

Hi Michael,

I've been following the threads over at Ning and a chap with a JR5 says he beta tested your new design module. He said it was very slow, not like the performance speed that is apparent in the video.

What could account for that? He says his hosting and computer are top notch, so he thinks that the module probably needs a lot more work.

This is a HUGE issue for the crowd trying to escape Ning. They see a migration path to Jamroom opening, but since most of them are non coders, they don't know what to do with templates and such.

So they are kind of "pinning their hopes" on your project, to give them the kind of user friendly design options they enjoyed at Ning. Drag & Drop type of simplicity.

Do you have an ETA or can you give us any idea of your progress? Also, why do you suspect his beta test was "sluggish".

Google Maps on Events

Hi Steve - I just tested and confirmed that the map is working on events now - thanks very much...

If you want a little peek-a-boo now I'll drop the maintenance screen for 5 minutes, it's really only groups that need tweaking at this point, and some quota configurations... Let me know if you want to look...

Shopping Cart Stopped Working

Installation and Configuration

I did get confirmation from the Foxycart team that they can't duplicate it (so far) so it appears to be something specific to my machine.

Therefore, eliminating addons is a great suggestion - thanks.

I'm going to drop this for now though, and come back to it after launch, since it seems to be isolated to me.

Shopping Cart Stopped Working

Installation and Configuration

I completely uninstalled Chrome and re-installed and the problem persists, but only with that browser.

Foxycart support suggest I try clearing this - http://superuser.com/questions/203674/how-to-clear-flush-the-dns-cache-in-google-chrome/203702#203702

That didn't help either, and I still have no confirmation as to whether this is a problem specific to my machine, or with Chrome in general. I'll keep you posted.

Ning To Jamroom

Hi Alex,

I added your testimony to my own in the Ning forum (hope you don't mind).
http://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/ning-to-jamroom

Personally, I haven't had experience with those other sites. So the fact that you have been around the block with them a few times, adds an element of authenticity to your testimony.

Also, that you see Jamroom as head and shoulders above the rest, after testing the waters in so many places, speaks volumes...

Shopping Cart Stopped Working

Installation and Configuration

I've got a bead on it now. My Google Chrome decided it didn't like Foxycart anymore, that's why I lost the ability to see the cart (even in version 1) and why I couldn't access their log-in page.

When I switched to Firefox and IE I could access. So now I'm upgraded to version 2, but still have the Chrome problem.

I tried deleting all history even cookies, and that didn't help. I'ts showing as up to date, so now I'm trying to determine if it's just my Chrome that got corrupted, or did the Foxycart site make itself incompatible with Chrome somehow?
