"Yes it will only work with youtube etc and not uploaded videos. The reason is that uploaded videos are resampled down by Ning to a certain size so when you try to make them bigger they loose quality."
"Not this code as all the class names and layout of N3 are different than 2, it could probably be re-written to fit 2. I don't own a 2 anymore so not wrote it for 2 as not able to test it."
"Ana you read my answer wrong.
Videos from youtube, vimeo our social channels etc DO NOT take up room on our storage as they are streaming services from somewhere else as the videos are hosted there. These are not downsized and the videos can be…"
"Yes, but if you pay $20 a month for videos and extra things and then Videos don't work like other sites you get a little discouraged.
Video is actually pulled from youtube, or vimeo etc it is their embed code, it places no strain on ning or your…"
"No the photos code will not work. I can resize the video uploads but they loose quality as when you up-load them Ning converts them and also their size,it's because there is a 100mb limit file size for each video, so when you try to make them…"
"I wonder if the photos code will work for the videos too?
I understand when Ning did this they thought well the user can just go full screen to watch, well now youtube is being anal and is not allowing fullscreen on such a set size small…"
"You can change a background like this,
Add a background to your file manager
Once added copy the link url of that image from file manager
Next in the theme css look for the one you want to change and at the top of the Theme is the background image,…"
"@Bizz this works great, but if you wanted to change the backgrounds and things could you do that also?
Wanted to add more Pagan like backgrounds and colors for my site?"
It's totally fine to discuss, I just don't want to interrupt the flow of product suggestions on Creators by mixing in unrelated discussions. We've announced that we will be moving to a paid platform, and we'll be filling in the details on Tuesday. Thanks for your patience.
I saw that you posted two discussions today on the Product Ideas and Suggestions category here on Creators — one about Wordpress (I was actually at Wordcamp this weekend :D) and another about alternatives. While it's fine in general to post this stuff, please post it in the appropriate category (like "Opinions" or "May 4 changes").
The product category is meant to be for ideas for new features and improvements to the Ning platform.
Hi, yes that will work but it doesn't look very good having the numbers in your post title. If I work anything out I'll let you know.
What is your site? My biggest challenge recently has been dealing with bad posters (not spam just people who flood the site with aggressive or negative posts). So I created a Trash category on my forum and then we can re-categorise the rubbish so it doesn't show on the front page.
All Ning needs is an option to include a unique identifier in their URL or alternatively create a Google News Sitemap. It peeves me off quite frankly that they've done all this work to integrate with Twitter and Facebook, etc but Google News is a much bigger driver of traffic and yet they ignore it.
If you know any coder it would be very simply for them to take RSS feed and turn it into a Google News Sitemap. That's the only way to do it as far as I can see.
