What was done in Q1 and our plans for Q2

Hi creators,

we could not miss your interest in our plans for the year. We are constantly working on improvement Ning to make it a better place for you. And we want to share some information about what was done in Q1 and what are our plans for Q2.

Q1:

we have fixed 106 bugs. Most critical fixed issues were related to search function.

Also, we launched new features:

  • new themes in a design studio (sport, craft, chic, purple sunset, tender look, guidance, orchid, portfolio, fitness, dating, dj, gaming). You can find them here or in the settings of your network (in the menu of choosing themes);
  • improved stability and operating capacity of the file manager;
  • improved editor;
  • changes in the interface of paid posts, paid blog posts, paid group, paid discussions, paid forums.

Try all the new features and tell us your opinion!

 

Our plans for Q2:

We are working on the update of the storage and replacing the existing system with the new one. This will help us to make sure that:

1) everything would be uploaded/downloaded properly;

2) the file would be removed in 100% cases when the parent element has been deleted to prevent any inconveniences caused by this;

3) files are available all the time without stacking somewhere on the halfway.

Also, we continue to work on the Paid Access feature. The last quarter some huge updates have been released - like repeats, retry system. The process to add the new payment methods has been simplified and partly automated. In addition, paywall now could be attached to the forum posts.

Some other small updates were made based on the feedback provided by the NC who has paid access activated.

As the Paid Access feature is developing and the most important updates were made already, we are glad to welcome everyone who still has some doubts to try it out. Especially as there are no monthly charges for the use of this functionality. It is still in beta, but it is working and soon will be available for everyone. If you want to try it, let us know by contacting our support here, send us a message or just write in comments.

Also, we are on the finish line with the migration script (Hurray!). We do some transfers in the test regime and since the script is under the calibration, the process is still time-consuming and require additional efforts to be put in before it's completely ready.

With love,

NING team.

  • GDPR is getting critical for EU based creators who are writing their privacy notices and policies and getting everything ready for May 25th when the GDPR comes into force.  That is only 4 weeks away!  Can you give us a date when the new policies and terms of service will be available?  Thanks

    • Hi there!

      The changes to the policies should be finished and published only before the 25-th of May 2018, unfortunately, the exact date is not available as there are some related tasks should be finished first.

      Best regards,

      Ning Team.

  • What about the General Data Protection Regulation in Europe. Facebook, soundcloud, Yahoo Europe and other services launched or will launch a new privacy policy and terms of service. What's up with Ning's privacy policy and terms of service?

    General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – Final text neatly arranged
    General Data Protection Regulation – Final legal text of the EU GDPR. The official PDF and its recitals as a neatly arranged website.
    • Hi there!

      Thanks for the question, yep, the terms and conditions would be updated, also the sign-up page on the networks would be changed.

      Best wishes,

      Ning Team.

    • Hi there!

      Yep, that bug isn't among 106 that was fixed. You will receive an email from us when the fix would be ready.

      Best regards,

      Ning Team.

  •  GOOD AND BAD FOR ME.. :( THIS NEW UPGRADE .... :*........

    DESTROYED MY NETWORK.. 45% OF THE CODES  AREN'T WORKING :(

    • Hi there!

      I guess that the third time I'm asking you to share the network URL so I could take a look and help if it's possible. You can use PM if you don't wish to disclose your network URL publically.

      Best regards,

      Ning Team.

    • I'm sorry to hear that. Ning seems to go through phases of this kind of thing every time something is touched.

      • ALL THE TIME!

  • Thank you, Ning! I was about to cry to Support again about how much I need to move to 3.0, and beg them to see what they could do...even if I'm a guinea pig!

    You folks are the best.

    Steve
