Blocked IP addresses and Forum Question

I have a question about migrating Ning to Jam, what happens to the blocked IP addresses? do they remain blocked or does that feature become invalid? There are a lot of spammers whose IP addresses I blocked and I would love for them not to able to sign up for my site anymore.

Second question, do the forums on Jam allow for images to be uploaded and special text? or is it all HTML?

Hi - Welcome to Jamroom

1) Jamroom has a free 'Banned Items' module that when installed, can accept IP addresses that will subsequently be banned from accessing the site - https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/36/banned-items - so, if you have a list of your banned addresses on Ning, you can also ban them on Jamroom.

2) The Jamroom forum supports BBCode. What you are looking at now is the Jamroom forum module so click on the BBCode Help button below to see what the options are.
Comments, however, do support the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor, so a 'forum' could be built using Groups and Group Discussions, which in turn use comment threads. In fact, when importing Ning global discussions, you have the option to import them to this forum module, or to Groups and Group Discussions.

Hope that helps
