Overview of Q3 and Ning Q4 2017 plan.

Better late than never - here is the product plan Q3 overview and Plans for Q4.
As you might have noticed, all the promised features have been released. We did our best to keep the deadlines and fit your expectations.
So here are Q3 updates:

1. Paid Access is finally live. It is even more than just old Paid Access, it is a great e-commerce platform with Stripe and PayPal integration. For now it is only available for beta-group, so if you forgot to ask for beta access, don’t miss your chance till Nov 3d.
2. Audio feature is live. Now you can easily create playlists, audio lessons, add audio tracks, podcasts, and any mp3 files. The feature has got a completely new design, which we think looks awesome.
3. Polls. Completely new feature for Ning, only available for Ning 3.0. Using Polls all Ning NCs can easily get up to date feedback from Network members.
4. The Design Studio got a few new templates, a bunch of new fonts and backgrounds to make it more user-friendly and provide flexibility of options you have in order to make your network modern and unique even without coding skills.
5. SSL certification had been implemented for all ning domain names.

Keeping in mind that we are living in the era of mobile devices all new features have been developed in a way so they would look great on mobile devices.

You could not miss how the Creators network changed, which is completely Kyryl’s merit, as is the new guide for Facebook integration.

And now as for the next steps, we are going to make:

1. Member ranking system
2. E-commerce platform wider development (donations, network membership, groups)
3. MailChimp Integration
4. SSL for custom domains, completely automated process.
5. Push notifications

Besides, there are lots of other improvements on the way, more related to back end, like the rework of the activity feed architecture and migration script (these are just the biggest ones so we simply can't help but highlight them).

As always we are happy to receive feedback from you, so feel free to drop us a line.

Sincerely yours,
Ning Team.

    • What a nice sentiment. :) I want to echo it. Two years ago we could hardly have imagined all the improvements we have experienced in the service. It's a lovely tool, alright.

      • Hi there!

        Yes, the improvements are made, but there are much more ahead :-) Thanks for your support and the invaluable contribution to the platform development.

        Best wishes,

        Ning Team.

  • NC for Hire

    All I want for Christmas is to be able to migrate my 2.0 to my 3.0 sandbox. 

     Is there some sort of break that Ning could extend to those of us who have been waiting since 2013 to migrate our community for coordinating with our members to self migrate?  In other words, If I were to ask members in my 2.0 to register and start using the 3.0, is there any way to avoid being charged for both communities?  I mean, honestly only one community would actually be in the state of growing while the other would just sit waiting for content to be migrated.  Any ideas?  I don't want to pay for two communities when all I am trying to do is build one.

    • Me Too!!! MY 3.0 is just sitting there...

      • Hi there!

        Please check your inbox here creators, I have sent you a message. It contains some private data so I cannot simply disclose it to the public without the permission.

        Best wishes,

        Ning Team.

    • Hi there!

      Our dev team keep working on the migration script, I have seen two days ago one of them have been testing some changes made to the script on the test servers, and once it would be available you can be sure that I will contact you.

      In the meantime please check, your private messages here on creators as I have some questions to clarify.

      Best regards,

      Ning Team.

  • It seems so 2008, but what about a like button for individual replies?

    • Hi there!

      We already have such suggestion registered in the system, but the management hasn't made the decision yet, regarding it. I'll let you know here on creators when I would hear something about it.

      Best wishes,

      Ning Team.

  • Will each of the below be available on 2.0?

    1. Member ranking system
    2. E-commerce platform wider development (donations, network membership, groups)
    3. MailChimp Integration
    4. SSL for custom domains, completely automated process.
    5. Push notifications

    • Hi there!

      Only number 4 is related to both platforms, all other features would be implemented on 3.0 according to the plan, well MailChimp integration is already working :-)

      Bets regards,

      Ning Team.
