Thanks. I do see that. Here, below, is what I am trying to understand. I will try writing it as if am explaining it to my members.
If my understanding is correct, this might become an example other network owners can adapt for their own purposes. Before I send this kind of explanation to all my members, I need to make sure that the forms for profile data and user accounts are properly set up. I will ask about setting up these forms separately. Although there is a good introduction to form design in the JR system, at the URL below, it does not explain in specific terms these two very critical areas of form design.

***Draft message to my members***
Welcome back to the [our network name]. Our network is now running on a new system that has many differences from the old Ning system, and many advantages. When you login with your new password, please check (1) your public profile data, and (2) your account details. After login, you can change the password to something you like better in your account settings.
PROFILE DATA
When you login, you are automatically directed to your profile page. Assuming you are using a desktop screen, not a mobile phone, you will see your profile photo or default image at left, and under that, some public information about you. If you wish to change this public information, look for the gear icon in the title banner of your page. If you hover there, a pop-up label will appear: "update profile". Click on the gear icon, to see all the fields where data can be entered. Some of these fields will contain data transferred from our old system, and some will be new fields created in our new system. Please review these fields, and add information to any "required" fields that do not already have information in them. There are notes explaining how to use certain fields, and further help buttons represented by a box with question mark inside.
ACCOUNT DETAILS
After login, wherever you may roam in the network, you will see your login profile name in the top menu. Under that you can find a sub-tab called "Account Settings". Please review the settings there for "Profile" to edit your profile image, "Account" to edit your user name, email address, and password, and "Notifications" to edit what kinds of messages you receive from the Research Cooperative.
Note: If you disable all notifications, Admin will still be able to contact you, if necessary, but no-one else in the network will be able to contact you through the network, and our usual (infrequent) broadcast messages will not reach you.
