Update to Product Roadmap and Communication Changes

Thank you for your patience over the past several weeks. As you know, we closely follow and appreciate the feedback you share on Creators, and we’d like to make a couple of important announcements related to your posts. 

First, regarding the product, the team has been working over the last several months on re-architecting and re-developing a new Activity Feed for Ning 3.0. The new Activity Feed will include the addition of statuses and more embeds based on pasting links into the status field. This isn’t everything that the team is working on but the most significant short term new capability. We are planning to release this feature in July.

We also wanted to address the downtime that some of you experienced on May 26th and 27th. After the scheduled maintenance on Monday to update a group of servers, we discovered that some of the backup servers were malfunctioning. We've corrected this and have changed our operating procedures to prevent this from happening again.

On the communication side, based on several factors including resources and priorities, we have made the decision that we will no longer be involved in providing day-to-day support and feedback through the Creators community. Communication from the Ning team needs to be focused on product capabilities and new releases and other general announcements such as this one. Our team is focusing on expanding some of the planned features that we already have in development. Once we have more information to share with you, we will do it here. 

Please continue to use this community as a productive place to have conversations about how to build, grow, and manage Ning Networks. We will continue to provide technical support through tickets and phone. As always, phone support is available to those with networks on Pro, Performance and Ultimate plans. Our technical support team is available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm PST.

        • Here's where Ning is housed now, within the Glam headquarters building.

          • So 3.0 came out with much fanfare about a year and a half ago.  The Activity Feed created by the 'Ning engineering team' was apparently not up to snuff.  Nor the design studio, nor templates, nor notifications.  The past whole year seems to have been devoted to going backwards to re-design these features that were poorly designed to begin with. The Activity Feed has taken what, six months now to RE-design?  Finally thrown up at the last minute without thorough testing, and it's functioning...well like crap, judging from the posts here.  Did the people who first designed 3.0 get replaced or let go for botching the job?  Is the Activity Feed going to be re-done a third time?  Who is working on 3.0 anyway?..a couple of college students? Or maybe some outfit in India?  I know when I called Ning billing I got a polite young man in India...I asked him where he was and he told me.

            I can tell you one thing- if Ning has no work force left and is broke, it's because Glam arranged it that way.  Glam owns Ning and Glam is anything but broke. They can make Ning be anything they want it to be.

              • why do i get the feeling we are all screwed....

                • I don't think it is just a feeling.....How much is our time worth?  How many months, years, does it take before someone says "enough" and moves away from a sinking ship? Hanging on?....well it's wishful thinking on the part of creators which is very very sad.  I have made other plans, and I think everyone should think seriously about doing just that. The writing has been on the wall for a year.....
