I have just a couple of improvements that I'd like to see on Creators Network which should not take much time at all to integrate.
Search with Results ordered by Time
Presently all results when I search show posts going back to 2010 and across all Ning versions going back to 1.0
Profiles with Community Awards included...
It would be nice for those of us who post often to be rewarded with points as well as achievements. Currently we have just some arbitrary achievements but it would be nice to see the points we've earned over time and maybe even some incentive from Ning to post more often
HTML Box added to Creators Profiles
It would be nice to have a proper way to embed stuff like resume or links to contact, ect. Especially for those of us who are Ning for Hire
I'd love to also see Videos, Podcasts and Polls added to the community but I am assuming there are reasons why they are not here.
Just some thoughts. Who's with me?

Would be nice but it’s not like the old days when it was always a hive of activity here, unfortunately the creators forum has become a bit of a ghost town.
Bizz I am with you ... important to evolve to transcend these moments of life ... we must give life to the networks ... it is time for art to contribute ideas ... what Ning take note ... thanks Bizz
I wanna add one more request. In the 2.0 communities admins had a button and a way to share a post to all members of a network. I am seriously missing this in 3.0.. is there a way we could get that back?
Hello,
Thank you for your suggestions.
I will speak with our developers about the search with results ordered by time.
What about rewards, HTML box, videos, podcasts, and polls. I like these ideas and promise to discuss with our team about adding them to the creators' forum.
Please, specify where you think will be the best place for the HTML box.

Hey JFarrow, thanks for bringing this up. I would like to add to what you have suggested that I feel makes sense.
Landing page for 2.0 users
3.0 users get this for free. When I brought this up Ning said "Well, Ning 2.0 users can do the same thing using File Manger" without seeming to acknowledge that in order to get this feature it will cost an extra $400 to $600 to anyone who is not on a pro account. Well Ning could simply make this available to 2.0 users the same way it freely does to 3.0 users.
Hello,
Thank you for the suggestion.
We pass it to the management and will check this with them.
Best regards,
The Ning Team
