<p>It's me again. If you are not aware of making your featured discussions sticky, today I'm gonna tell you how to do it.</p>
<p>First of all, go to your forum page and select any one of the forums you want to feature. To do this, just go to "Feature" button and hit it once. This button is located in the top right corner ( depending on your design). </p>
<p>Secondly, Go to <strong>Site and Pages</strong>> Main Navigation> Select Forum> Under <strong>"Layout & Content"</strong> click on Add Content> Write Featured Discussions ( Depending on what exactly you want to write) in the <strong>"Title"</strong> field> Select Forum under "<strong>Content type"></strong> Select featured under <strong>"From"</strong>> Click on <strong>"Add"</strong> button> Make sure that this content is on top of all content (use drag function) and click on "<strong>Save"</strong>.</p>
<p>Lastly, now go to <strong>"Design Studio" </strong>click on <strong>"Custom CSS" </strong>> paste the following code into it and click on publish button. You may want to change background and border color suit to your preference.</p>
<p><span style="color: #339966;"><em><strong>/* Make your featured forum sticky and stand out*/</strong></em></span><br> <span style="color: #339966;"><em><strong>.page-forum .discussionListPage.row {</strong></em></span><br> <span style="color: #339966;"><em><strong>background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.19);</strong></em></span><br> <span style="color: #339966;"><em><strong>border-radius: 5px;</strong></em></span><br> <span style="color: #339966;"><em><strong>border: solid 1px;</strong></em></span><br> <span style="color: #339966;"><em><strong>}</strong></em></span><br> <span style="color: #339966;"><em><strong>/* Make your featured forum sticky and stand out*/</strong></em></span></p>

Compton IVhttps://creators.ning.com/members/GeorgeHComptonIV<div><p><span class="font-size-6"><strong><span style="color: #000080;">What the Ningbar does</span></strong></span></p>
<p><strong>It's fixed so it will scroll down the page with you, colored highlights, rounded search query with inset colored highlights, and it's 24% transparent so it looks like colored glass. Six colors to choose from all with the same <span style="color: #0000ff;">eye-catching</span> animation.</strong></p>
<p><strong>right click on the image and open in a new tab to get a better view<br></strong></p>

<p><strong> the animation will look better then this gif image file<br></strong></p>

<p><strong>If you don't want it to scroll down the page with you remove the top five lines of the code that look like this<br></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>#xn_bar { position: fixed !important;<br> z-index: 9999 !important;<br> top: 0 !important;<br> padding-bottom:8px !important; }<br> body{ margin-top:30px !important; }<br></strong></span></p>
<p>adjusting the code. <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">More than likely not needed</span></strong></p>
<p>The only adjustments that may be needed on certain networks are the Fifth and sixth line down from the top</p>
<p>they look like this</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>height: 28px!important; <span style="color: #888888;">this will make the bar thicker or thinner..</span><br> body {margin-top:30px !important; } <span style="color: #888888;">and this will Lower or Raise the page body..</span><br></strong></span></p>
<p><strong><strong>Compatible with newer browsers such as IE 9 & 10, Firefox, Google Chrome, mountain lion pretty much all of them LOL</strong><br></strong></p>

<p><strong><span class="font-size-5">single Profile</span></strong><br> just put the code in your design studio</p>
<p><strong><span class="font-size-5">whole network</span></strong><br> Put the code in your NC custom code box, or in a stylesheet, or your main design studio, or even an ad box for your entire network..</p>

<p>Just incase you are wondering, in the photo above, I am using the "A1" Layout for my site. Results may vary and you may have to adjust the codes if you have a different layout or already have other custom code.<br> <br> Also keep in mind, that I have globally removed other modules, such as Leader Boards, etc. If you have custom Text Boxes with content, and want those removed, you will have to add additional CSS to remove those items. This is why mine looks so clean. The additional CSS for removing other items can be found looking here in the NING forum.<br> <br> <br> Hope this simplifies the process for you.!</p>

<p> </p></div>Trick: Change the Out-going Twitter Text for Shared Itemshttps://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/change-the-outgoing-twitter2010-11-02T23:13:54.000Z2010-11-02T23:13:54.000Z⚡JFarrow⌁https://creators.ning.com/members/JFarrow<div><p>While sharing some items on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://landsurveyorsunited.com/main" target="_blank">Land Surveyors United</a> earlier I started to think about the search engine optimization of my outgoing tweets on shared items from the network. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The first 27 characters of a tweet are supposed to be the most heavily indexed by search engines, so the default "Checking out....(item)" for every outgoing share virtually does nothing for your network.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Go into language editor and search for "Checking Out" and you'll get 3 results...change the portion that says "Checking out..." to something more along the lines of your network's primary keywords. For example I changed mine to "<em>Surveyors should check out..</em>" ad shown below. Important to remember to leave all of the trailing %2 and otherwise after the Checking out portion of that text.</p>
