"Wordpress does not offer any of the off-the-shelf features that Ning does.  Sure, you can start a blog any number of places for free.  Have fun trying to get Wordpress to do what Ning does quickly and easily!"

"Oops!  Nix that.  I have the network set so people can't post unless they signup first.  But in that case, is there any way to edit the text in that "Join Now" popup that shows when trying to create a forum discussion…"

Peggy Randall replied to Mandy P.'s discussion 'Pop Up Window: On Load'
"That works great TJ!  Just one more question.  Is it possible to show this popup only to people who are NOT logged into the site?  Is there some code I can add that will fix that?"

Peggy Randall replied to Mandy P.'s discussion 'Pop Up Window: On Load'
"I just tried TJ's code as well and it's working for me too.  I'm trying to generate a Pop-up when my members add a new forum post.  But is there no way of adding html to the message somehow?  Or are we stuck with just…"

"I couldn't disagree more.  Ning provides an invaluable service that has been practically free for years.  Their price increase seems perfectly reasonable to me and frankly long overdue.  People need to understand that just…"

"Same probelm as well. Is there anything you can do tyo block them as the IP address blocker is useless with a IP switcher. And the emails change etc   ie Ks2 Teeth Lesson S.ha.w.a.n.a.R.i.go.b.ert.04@gmail.com 183.110.231.124 "

"Us too! And its different names and emails but the same stupid nonsensical answers to profile questions. Clearly sophisticated enough to have an IP switcher too.  Seems like January was a brief reprieve from the hair extension and christmas…"
