Curiously, my site upgraded yesterday to v11.0.0 without me asking it to.
I was sure I disabled Auto-Update but when I checked it was enabled. I moved my site recently (over a month ago) so maybe the Auto-Update accidentally got re-enabled as part of that but I didn't specifically enable it.
I've now disabled it again.
My site has been online 24/7 so no idea why it decided to upgrade all of a sudden and didn't do this before. Not to worry though.
The upgrade seems to have completed ok without error and so far I've not noticed any issues. Are there any specific check I should do to make sure I haven't got any issues?
I wasn't planning on upgrading till v11 (stable) was released.
Is there a list of new features available in v11 anywhere I can look at??
What’s the easiest way to disable all the social network sharing links throughout UNA v10.x?
As in remove all the....
- Share in Facebook
- Share in Twitter
- Share in Pinterest
Links in all screens.
I moved my UNA installation to a new server but since the restore some images don't appear in some views.
For instance in the timeline view instead of seeing some images I see a "broken link" icon. If if I click the broken link icon the image appears.
Also for some users there is a grey background instead of their profile image. The same for some events with an event image.
Any idea how to fix?
I believe I still have all the image files in the storage folder so think maybe some sort of database mismatch.
I'm trying to get the native MobileApp running.
I've completed all the steps but when I build/run the app in the simulator it stalls at the splash screen and goes no further.
The build completes with no errors (only 4 warnings).
Any idea anyone?
Hi. I've just noticed on my site that a Standard User cannot just follow another member and only have the option to "Add Friend" (For example in the People page). Moderators on the other hand get both "Follow" and "Add Friend" option. This doesn't sound normal.
It looks like a permissions issue but I can't see anything obvious with the permissions.
Any idea anyone?
Is there a way to make new users follow every site member by default and have to unfollow those they don’t want to ???
Editing a profile and setting the "Visible to" field to Relationships doesn't work and other members whom you have a 2 way relationship connections to get "Access denied. This content is private".
Something is confusing about my UA installation which hopefully can be cleared up here...
Site members have friends, followers and relationships as normal.
When creating a new Post (to either Timeline or Posts) the New Post form has a "Visibility" field with various options including Friends & Public.
If users select Visibility = Public in the New Post form when the post is created ONLY Friends can see the post.
I don't see the point of having Friends/Public within the Visibility field of the New Post form if only Friends can see the post anyway.
Is this correct?
OK - DIARY OF A NEW CUSTOMER !!

Just signed up for the $50 + 50 plan (Apps & Hosting)
Impressed with the slick stripe payments. Its very good btw!
But apart from a 'Red Dot" in the Licence Field, I'm totally lost as to what to do now, or where to even look / go now !
I've so many questions now. I want to get started, i'm excited for sure, but I'm not been pointed in any specific direction.
First impressions - there are no obvious instructions to follow for a new user! At least nothing apparent to me, at first glance.
Like -
Where - do I go to "see' the back end of my potential new website?
Can - I start to experiment, build an "off-line' version, get my toes wet, see how it look and feels before going live?
What - happens now?

Launching the launch window!!!!
OK - Licence Bought - Go to activate / Launch said Licence, and ran into problems with the correct naming of servers, again I feel the fact that I needed to summon Help to even activate the site was not good. Should be a case of; [ imput company name here ] & Click GO!! That said, getting help here, was super quick, through the UNA site. The new message alerts on my phone were also impressive, ditto for the UNA - device APP itself.
Overall
I feel the whole UNA "shop window' is very confusing indeed. I mean - I'm never quite sure whether I'm actually on my OWN SITE, or UNA's !!!! at any one time, it's very confusing, seriously. Suggest colour code, UNA have a different back round colour to own site.
Pricing
Probably be happy paying $100 p/m ok, (if I was actually making progress building a site) I'll talk about this in a while. In my opinion, having your 'business plan" priced at $800 a month (as it stands), when you can not tell me definitively, what exactly i will get for it!!! is plain pointless, to a small business, with a budget in mind!! Mind the Gap!! Big jump from $100 p/m to $800 p/m !!! My site could take anything from a few hours, to months to implement, and there is no apparent tangible way of telling me in advance, what it's going to cost me???, come on! and that's not workable for any business. Consider offering a "white label, ready to go template, out of the box, design and implementation for a set fee, payable per month, all I need to do is change the logo, up-load some pic's turn on/off the modules i want or need, and i'm LIVE!! A "definable feature package' memberships, forum, live chat, blog, photos etc for $xx per month, designed and implemented. That would interest me!
The Software itself
For sure, there is evidence of brilliance everywhere, Seeing how the template it looks and functions on my various devices, it's very impressive, the notifications everything, (on your own site that is! - UNA!) But the Achilles heal of the software is that it is designed by; Expert Tech geeks, for Competent Tech Geeks. If your not a programmer, your lost here. Its not for any "Idea Person" in my view. It's for a Competent Tech Geek, with an idea! In short - as it currently is - the software is not 'user-friendly" enough for the mass market your after. I've stated THIS as the standard you need to aim for ;-

The CMS is as easy to edit as a word doc, and modules and pages are simple ON/OFF options, money back guarantee, and outstanding tel support.
I feel, UNA would need to offer some form of "support" at the start in order to "be at the races" as a product. Assign each new customer of UNA, to an "angel" initially as part of the deal, supported via a "P.C anywhere" type support / with chat. Get um up and running with a revenue generating prod, and you have a good shot at retention. But after 1- DAY on this, I'm so far a little disappointed, I thought I would be able to do more for myself. I'll try again tomorrow!!
