The recent private equity acquisition … The recent private equity acquisition of NING is the best thing that has happened to it in the 9 years that I have been using the platform. It has begun to inject confidence into their creators. The integration with creators in the help forum and the live-online help are awesome and great beginnings. But, because the the previous NING leadership was so negligent, they need to do more. I recently filed a ticket because my search function wasn't working and it took 2 weeks to get a resolution- that's not good enough. They also need to address the following for 2.0 and 3.0, and do it quickly. 1. Better monetization of the mobile version. This is 40% of our traffic and I can't put any ads in front of these users. 2. Third-party creativity. They need to make the site easily modifiable so creators can implement 3rd party apps and tools. 3. Reliable emailing tools - Why should I need to get Constant Contact? 4. New Templates

Ning got new life after this recent … Ning got new life after this recent ownership took over. They communicate in a reasonable feature and seem more knowledgeable. I have seen features get nice overhauls as well as long awaited features being released that had been promised for years. I love this newfound energy and don't want this feeling to stop.

Working with Ning has been an amazing… Working with Ning has been an amazing experience. The functionality is perfect for my “micro social network “ project. It is fantastic value and their support team answer questions almost before I have asked them. Absolutely brilliant!!

Stole my money I signed up to Ning a few years ago and subsequently cancelled my subscription, something I have in writing. However, for the next two years they proceeded to take payment from me without my knowledge. I wrote to them asking for them to refund the payment, but they have refused to do so. So they've effectively stole more than £300 from me. This doesn't seem like a company you can trust to treat you fairly.

What Do We Do When 'Networks Are NOT Up And Running' We've paid our dues for the year and our network was accessible till about a few hours ago. We've suddenly started getting the 'Network Not Launched Yet' Message. Could you have a look urgently? Name Of Ning Network: Studio Talking Rich Please have an urgent look. Hope no ones hacking in! This breakdown is so unfair - now that we're gearing up to call people to Ning again. Shamshir Rai Luthra Veteran Radio Broadcaster, Senior Consumer Activist
