UPDATE: Curious as to why everything is different in PAN 2.0? Read this.
We’ll be posting a plethora of tips in the coming days/weeks, but I wanted to kick this off with a simple list of the most core actions across the new network.
PAN 2.0 is built using Buddypress open source software. Buddypress is a modification of the original WordPress core software and works as an extension of WordPress.
Essentially, our entire network is WordPress powered.
With this being the case we’re able to link to a lot of existing external documentation and guides on proper use of the system. Here are a few to help get you started.
- The Admin Bar (You’ll see this at the top of every page once logged in)
- The Activity Stream
- Sending Private Messages
- Making Friends
I’ll be posting a LOT more of these so keep an eye out on the updates.
Thanks,
-Eric Odom

Do we need to join the Word Press?
Negative. We use WordPress software on the backend, but we have no connection to the WordPress system itself. All you need is to login with your PAN account and start blogging!
Dear Eric, I tried to create a profile about 2 weeks ago. I didn’t think it took, and then went on vacation. I’m home, and have tried to sign up for PAN 2.0, but I can’t find where I wrote down my info. Now, it says my e-mail address is already in use, so I guess it “took” 2 weeks ago, but I can’t remember what I used for a user name or password.. HELP. Ron
Glad to see we are getting ready for a year and half of heavy blogging
Count me in….
Hi Eric,
When I try to re-set my password, I get an error message, or wrong password.message. I think I must have accidentally created a second account…billie 2
Please help !

The re-set account page did not work for me.
See email. Fixed.
Tried to reset password and never got an email for a new password. After several tries got message that account doesn’t exist and need to set up new account. How do I get into my old account? I am a long time member and don’t want to start over.
See email. You should be good to go now.
Okay, my profile no longer shows the groups I’ve joined or the friends. How do I get these back?
Groups and friends won’t be carried over. Groups because they’re all different now. Friends because Ning wouldn’t give us that data.
That said, we hope to have the old site opened tomorrow and will have it online for a few months while we complete the transition.
Thanks,
-Eric
Eric;
Got to change my password, and am in, but trying to change settings, because I’m listed as Dave St. Indiana St. Dir oops! trying to change settings, but having no luck; like I posted these changes are hard on old brain cells!! also tried to change avatar/photograph, but didn’t take. Will keep trying, or blow up this computer! Hopefully, nothing’s changed on the Facebook side. Later!

Dear Eric, I tried to log in and I keep getting the same message error with PW I also tried to re-register and am told that the e-mail I used is not available. I’ve been a member shortly after Resistnet was started and if I cannot log in then it will be time to move on, I’ll try again in a day.
May God Bless This Endevor and All Of You For Your Work On It.
I lost all of my friends and contacts with the new changes, now I feel like a lost orphan on a merry-go-round, don’t know where I am going or how to get there? O-Well! >
Shalom!
LOL PLEASE don’t feel alone… Can’t get the “change avatar” to work, nor do I want a Gravatar.
Why do we not get an email message when someone posts to a site? This was a great function that saved time to scan what conversations were happening and get information about petitions and phonebanks, etc. I am really concerned because there were 1300 people on the old Florida site and the new site has 13 with no one writng on the old or new sites. We were organized for 2012 and now there is nothing in place.
Sounds good to me also!
What is the mission of the new PAN 2.0?
Thanks,

Hi Eric,
I no longer have the same email address & password I had when I origionally signed up on resistnet…my question is, how do I change both my
email address and password?
Thank you,

Hello Eric…
I want to know where the Customization Function is?…I must have COLOR!…
Also, is it possible to put a Playlist and how do we transfer from Pan 1.0…or do we have to start all over again at Playlist?
Thankyou,

Gosh, I don’t see where to log in when I click on a site from my email, don’t see where to blog, this doesn’t seem to be working for me. I signed up with a password, so where do I long in to blog?
Okay, sorry Eric, I figured it out, all good now, thx!
I no longer receive the emails from PAN. What am I doing wrong? My profile is signed in for notifications??? Is there another location to sign in for News?
Thanks for some other excellent post. Where else may anybody get that type of info in such a perfect means of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am at the search for such info.
