you've got some great ideas, brian. this has been a request of nc's for some time too. i may have asked elsewhere, but are these screen shots of other networks, or are you creating these mock-ups?

Hi Thunder X

You missed the link at the top of the post. I added some text now to make it more visible. I think those people really created a nice layout.

If ning gave us the ability to create channels with an option to upload an icon (give us a collection to choose from) then we could present "tutorials" "fun" etc. to our visitors. There is a small technical difference between having no channels and having them, but the viewer experience goes from confusing to fantastic.

ooohhhh! yeah, i see it now. i just found out about this site this morning, but i only signed up and bookmarked it.

i completely agree with you, though. it would make it sooo much easier for members to navigate.

yes, it would mean that we could really use the video section for educating our members on the topic the network is dedicated to etc. Like I have a network for songwriters, so I could create a section with guitar movies etc.

It would completely elevate the videos section to a whole new level.
