I am not sure if this is right or not, but I thought that the discussions that were imported from Ning were supposed to end up on each member's discussion mod on their profile page. Is this right? Also, is there a way to set any new discussions that happen here on Jamroom so that they show up there?
Thanks!

Group Discussions belong to a group - the discussion will show up on the profile the Group belongs to.

Brian,
What has actually happened, is that group discussions have shown up on the profile pages under discussion, while forum discussions don't. I thought that the forum discussions would show up on the profile pages (and that would be the place I would like them to be). I would think so, since what else would be there if not forum discussions?

A profile forum is just like a group - it will show on the profile the forum belongs to. For example - you're on the "Jamroom Network" profile here. I'm responding to you IN this forum.

If you go to my profile:

https://www.jamroom.net/brian/action

you'll see I don't have a forum.

Note that 'Profile Forum' is NOT the same as 'Group Discussions' - these are 2 different modules.

Let me know if that helps.

The forum on Ning was 'global' (as this one is here) and that is how they are imported, to your 'global' Community forum. If each topic was imported to a forum belonging to the topic creator, that once global Ning forum has become fragmented into lots of individual forums, so has become more difficult to use and not what your users expected.

The issue Paul, is that on my page, I got the discussions in from my Ning homepage, but other members are getting discussions in from their groups, which is kind of odd. Also, as we make new discussions on this platform, shouldn't they be showing up there because they are not...

On your homepage I see group discussions, the same as all your other members. What new discussions do you think should be showing there?

Hi Paul,

I just reread what I wrote to you, and I didn't mean for it to come out sound snotty. I'm really sorry. And OMG Paul, you are right... I must be losing my mind. So here's a question. How do the members keep their articles archived? In "My Discussions"?
