My 1940s Site So Far

I just thought I would post this as those who are coming over from Ning will probably know me so here is my site so far. Still lots to do but this I did mostly today ( Sunday ). The video sizing I did the other day.

I have made quite a few styling adjustments changing some fonts, adding some box shadows, resized the member profile pic and in the activity, added some background images and also changed the user online/ offline box colour so if the user is online it's more a brown colour and if not it is the red ( tomato ) colour to help distinguish betweeen the two.

Home page not touched yet as still getting the other things right first.
Well have a look and see what you think so far, it's almost like a cross between Ning 2 and 3.0 although not as easy to style as 3.0 so does take some getting used to although the Jamroom Guys are working hard at getting it user friendly for people coming over from Ning.

Here is my site which takes you to my page.

That's a great start John!
I'm very glad you are here testing/learning along with us.

(I see you have the same error I and sopmeone else is having, on the audio clips that our ning site members uploaded directly to our ning sites. While soundcloud, vimeo and Youtube files seem to play just fine after importing from the ning archive.)

Strumelia that is kind of you and will help where I can. With regards to that error yes on the 'home page' it will go to the music if you click on the album link but not the links to the tracks. Will have a look at that when home later. I do not think it has anything to do with importing from Ning as I have not imported anything. The site is a standard Jamroom slate skin which I just added content to to check it all out.

If you go to the home page again try this, scroll down to the bottom where you will see the Judy Garland album twice, if you click a track from the first one you get the error or a blank page, now go to the one at the bottom and do the same but this time it will go to the track.
The first one is shared @founder but the one that works is shared by 1follower, hmm odd.

The one that works is the profile ( John Bizley ) the one at the bottom and this is the profile that uploaded them.

Just an FYI that the Slate skin is still in beta, and likely has issues at the template level (most of the focus at this time is on core scripts and functionality - once that is solid then work will move on to making sure the templates "line up" with the functionality).

Hope this helps!
