Hi,
thanks for your testing.
The administration could be done by the backend; It is just a preference, nothing more. So, I'd put it in a very low priority.
We prefer to leave admin area in frontend; we think that a moderators/customer may not know Joomla. Also the user roles must be simply (not multiple groups & access levels). We think as developers, when developing a web site I have to explain to my customer how to use it and it must be very simple.
but it should not be listed as an activity (nobody needs to know what the admin has been doing);
We add this to our todo, An option to hide activity for some usergroup or users.
Latest Members, filtered by groups;
which groups? (Social Groups, Roles or Usergroups)
Some Joomla modules are a must to have as soon as possible - these modules could be used anywhere in the site
Yes I know, we plan to develop many modules (Groups, Events, Photos & Video, Featured Members, Topics, Blogs)
Upload image for groups could also have the ability to crop.
for now this is not necessary.
Social Template must be polished, many positions didn't work with my site template.
Thanks for report, we will improve css code to avoid conflict. for now add this line to your CSS template:
.jsn_social input, .jsn_social textarea, .jsn_social select{line-height:inherit;padding:5px 6px 6px 6px;box-sizing:content-box;}
.jsn_social .button{height:auto;}
