Just not much description and information on the marketplace offerings...so why blindly spend money?

Not real sure on how much I like Jamroom. Not much information on the core itself as to its workings and the marketplace offerings give no real description of what the products will do...a screen shot just does not show the functionality and I could care less about how it looks per se, how it functions is what is important. So I spend $40 to find out if something is what I need or not.

Okay, so did some more thumbing around and found the pending users file. Can resend the email and it has an activate. Guess I will see if once the person does their activation if I as a admn get to approve them.

explore your JR site settings under "ACP" along top menu. (not your server cPanel) under Modules>Users>UserAccounts>explore the various tabs with settings. Different settings are available for both "Admin quota" and "member quota".

Start with the Ning Bundle, then slowly figure out what other modules you'll need as you learn.

Therein is the problem...no way to see what the bundles really are. What does the Ning bundle have and how does it work?

Jamroom is a core platform, bare bones. There are 'skins' which present your site in a certain look (which you can change around yourself). To this you add modules from the JR marketplace to add the functions you need on your site- such modules are usually either free or sold.
The Jamroom team has been working to make a reasonably priced 'bundle' for people coming from Ning who are wanting similar functions they are used to.
The JR team has crated an import tool that will pull all the content from your Ning archive and bring it into your JR site and drop it generally into the right places so you can start tweaking and customizing further on your own.

The JR-to-Ning 'Bundle" contains the JR Core, a ning-friendly skin (Ningja), and several of the basic important modules you will be needing to receive your archive content- like for Groups,, Group discuissions, Images/albums, Events, Member profiles and Comments, etc. There are a few other modules I have already decided to purchase like to enable private messaging, add smileys, create wysiwyg text editors with embedding items features...
Hope this helps.

I do suggest you watch/read the free course I pointed out to you which will walk you through much of this beginning JR learning process. you can't learn everything you want to know if you aren't willing to put in a little time and effort to educate yourself. I mean this only in a helpful way!

If you want more information on how a module works you can ask in the forums. Direct questions usually seam to get a better response rate so something like "How does the xxxxxx module work? does it have xxx?" will usually elicit a link to a demo or screenshots. And if it doesn't work that way then you'll probably be directed to ask for it as a feature request in the "suggestions" area.

That works to an extent, but then you do not really know if any Custom CSS has changed the basic format of the skin/module. That is what I would like to be able to see is the raw/virgin offering.

We'll get a demo up as soon as we have a good example of a conversion. There's too much development going on in this area to get a demo up yet.

Hold off for a bit.
