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.

  • Are there any updates about when 2.0 networks will HAVE to convert to 3.0?

    • No.

  • I believe that an update on the roadmap which was posted in may last year and since then nothing more says it all.

    Its a big cheat what is happening here.

    • Complaint to  Nings's parent company Mode Media Corporation

  • Is there a way you could let us know the timetable for adding the events calendar for 3.0. I have plans to open a number of sites, but my development team is recommending against using Ning because of the lack of a built-in event module. Frankly it amazes me that the design teams didn't judge this function to be required before launching 3.0, but I digress. Please give us an update. Last thing I heard was "this summer" and that was last summer.

    • Wish you luck with that.....

      • +1

  • Ning.com is a tool to be used that is going through the upgrade process with a door that is open to all for usage. And it is that one great tool that has a chip on it that needs to be repaired by another great tool that is taking longer than first quoted but the choice of staying with ning.com should be based upon the platform that is useable with lots of other third party apps as subs until nings.com finishes all of the upgrades

    And, yomowomo.com is not plugging its services here I have other methods for that.
    • "Ning.com is a tool..."

  • We NEED :

    A Notification icon/widget

    all/most of the features back from 2.0 (Photo editor etc, the music player would be cool
     
    The ability to create a Fan page as well as a group page

    The ability to Edit a status, Have Smiley's etc available when Updating the status 

    A Chat would be cool

    There's so much more that we Need and want, Be fair Ning, we're paying each month and your not giving us the features we want, it seems your only doing the updates that you want and the time you want them time. 

    I have been asking for a notification icon since I' started my Ning in February, and they haven't had any progress with it, Just takes the Mick mun
