I feel lame but where did the online now buttons go?

[Phil McCluskey]

Hi gang,

James, the sitemap is not a traditional sitemap for users. It's an xml file that helps search engines find your content. There's a bit more information about it here.

PM, the sitemaps won't help unless your network is fully public.

Dev, the online now indicator is missing from IE, but appears on other browsers. We'll be fixing this in a patch in the next few days.

Thanks Phil, wasn't sure!

Hi friends,

I need some help.
I´m having problems viewing all my members info. Maybe it is because my site is in Spanish and we all have long names so the space btw members info is to crap . Is it possible to make it bigger? I don´t mean horizontally but vertically. thks

Hey!

Can you post a screenshot of your Members page (or a link) so we can see what you're referring to?

Hi Evan,

Hier a link to my members page. Miembros

thanks,

[Evan]

Hi!

It looks like "Comment" and "Gift" have been translated to "Agregar un comentario" and "Hacer un regalo". If you use the Language Editor (found under the Manage tab) you can translate these to single words, which should help solve the problem.

Hey
Yhanks, I'll try that. !!

Does the new sitemap only link to the major feature pages?

Will it be expanded in the future to help google find all of the new content on our networks?

Thanks

[Evan]

Hey Tom!

Yup, it points to the features on your Ning Network. By doing this, Google or any other search engine can then use these starting points to find all the content and pages on your Ning Network.
