SSL Solution

[Aubrey Williams]

Ning recently told me they won't have SSL until November 2017. I use a normal URL (not the ning.URL.com format), which means anyone who visits my site will get that nasty "site not secure" message.

Does anyone know of any SSL solutions or workarounds I could use now, versus waiting to see if Ning delivers on time in November? I have never gotten my project off the ground because I've been waiting for almost a year for Ning to launch various needed features.

Same here and haven't found workarounds yet. Hopefully things will speed up so this will be resolved in November !

Hi, Marco! 

We'll email you about your network as well. Please stay in touch via email correspondence

Hi, Aubrey!
We will contact you via your email regarding the solution that we came up with concerning your network and hopefully you'll be satisfied with it. Sorry for the delayed response - our tech team took some time to check if it's possible.

I was told in support chat that someone would contact me about this on Monday September 18th. Of course nobody from Ning ever contacted me. It would really be nice if Ning could do simple things like contact me when they say they will contact me, and launch features when they say they will launch features (where is payment gateway). I don't trust anything Ning tells me any more because they don't follow through. Failing on simple customer service. That's very unfortunate for a company that's supposed to be better than they were before they were bought out. Still seems very much like the same old unreliable Ning to me.

I did not get any email from Ning on or around September 21st. I checked my inbox and my spam folder and there was nothing sent to me or received. It's extremely rare that someone send sends me an email that I don't get, unless they actually did not send it.  A little hard to believe that you guys really sent me an email. This is just another example of the increasing problems I'm already having with Ning before I even get a chance to launch my site.

Excellent Kyryl, it's nice to know what's happening on creators.ning!
I do not use my network, I do not invite new members, I pay for it. and I believe that something new and better comes with this ning team!

[Aubrey Williams]

I received nothing..... please send it again. Thanks.
