I am desperate for an answer to these two questions. I am trying to get our magazine launched and I need a social network with Profiles and Groups activated up and running ASAP. I want to do that in days, not weeks or months. I currently have Dolphin 7.3.3 loaded on my server but unconfigured. I suspect I could get it operational in a few days to a week. Is that correct?
I would prefer to start with the UNA Cloud but I am concerned that getting the site operational might be more techy and take me much longer. If Dolphin will get me started faster I would go with that and then move over to UNA over the coming months. So can you tell me if UNA can be up and running as quickly as Dolphin bearing in mind that I am not a super techy guy, average at best. Or should I go with Dolphin now and move to UNA later? Please, please respond asap, thanks. Your thoughts will be much appreciated.

HI Gary Teeling - I have responded to this in a PM as well, but I will post here also for posterity,
I would strongly suggest starting on UNA, as starting on Dolphin and moving to UNA later will be troublesome. As a quick start we could launch you on our UNA 'Dolphin Solution' which is a turnkey generic social media solution built on UNA, that should fit your bill. Similar to our Online.me design, this option is not launched publicly yet, but we can install it as a starting point for UNA Cloud clients.
Go with UNA. Dolphin actually would take more time. You literally can get UNA up and running in just a couple hours. Also like Mark P suggested they can configure it to your needs if you give them a clear cut outline on what you need as long as everything is available in mods. UNA is meant for Mobile web/phone viewing, way faster, clean, and less complicated to customize than Dolphin is. Take the jump my friend. The water is just perfect for beginners!

Many thanks to both Mark and Will. This has left me no doubt that I should go ahead with Una. Your prompt and crystal clear advice is extremely helpful.
