Redesigned Ning.com is now live
Updates
Along with launching our brand-new Ning Creators Network today, we’ve also updated the design and layout of Ning.com. As we first posted here, this is the first step of a redesigned Ning.com that will be focused on Ning Network discovery, Ning Network management and no default Ning-wide profiles.
We’ll have more on this update soon, so stay tuned. Thanks!
Thanks for the work you put in Ning Team. I like how there are real people behind such a big platform.
I like the fact that there is now added security to our networks.
Thanks 🙂
Hi Yao,
These options are available on any Ning Network you are a member of, not on Ning.com. If you have additional questions that you need help with, feel free to drop us a note in the Ning Help Center where we can give you one on one assistance.
Thanks!
Laura,
These are the following choices (copied and pasted) under “settings”:
Invitations to Join Ning Networks
Yes No
Friend Requests
Yes No
Group Invitations
Yes No
Event Invitations
Yes No
Application Alerts
Yes No
Exactly which one of those would I check “yes” in order to receive emails notifying me of any emails I have received in any of my groups?
Hi Yao,
If you click on your Settings page and then click on Email, you’ll see different options for managing emails coming from Groups. The three you’ll want to take note of are the options to receive emails when there is:
A message from one of my groups
A group invitation
Activity in a group
In any given group, you can also choose to follow it from the group page, which will send you an email when people comment within the group.
Laura, I don’t see an option to have emails sent to me notifying me if I receive emails in any of my groups. I see about 5 different options i.e. friend requests, event invitations, ning network invitations, group invitations & application alerts.

likte dette system ,,, men vi må ha også sånn system når mann kommenterer et bilde må få mann en crdit:)
tsk tsk… all these unannounced changes and losses… this is hardly fair to all of us!!
Laura, Is ning also considering bringing back our friends profiles? If not why? It seemed so practical to have that feature. Echo
hi to everyone,
are not very happy about the change. Before I had the opportunity to invite my friends on my ning site, now I can not do that. I take this opportunity to ask why some groups within my ning not updated, even if you add photos or comments. Let me explain, even if I add pictures today 11 November, some groups remain stationary on 7 November. Can you fix this problem?
Thanks
Carmen
Hi Eloy,
We don’t have a feature built in for finding new Ning Networks to join right now, but as GIna mentioned above, we’re working on rolling out a new Ning Network Discovery feature shortly.
Is there any way for me to find new networks that are created by others?
For example, is there a way for me to find a network devoted to World War II to exchange photos and videos?
Yes Mike, we need a way to find Ning Networks.
Hi Yao,
The best way to see if you have friend request or messages on one of your Ning Networks is to make sure you’ve enabled email notifications. That way you’ll receive an email for every request and invite!
Thanks,
Laura
Ok, so now how am I gonna see if I have emails or friend requests awaiting me in any one of my 40 something groups?
Hi,
I think it is a great shame that our ning profile pages have been deleted. It seems that day by day, all the wonderful features we used to have are being removed.
Is there no other way to combat those who do the wrong thing ?
I fail to see how not being able to search ning networks can help anyone…
Gina, I am a huge fan of ning. I believe your site is top in communication world wide. I just hope you don’t take this away from us. I enjoyed the idea that I could find my friends on the main page. I could see if they had responded to my groups or networks. I will sit back enjoy the ride and hope it isn’t too bumpy. I brag about this site all the time. I know you all work hard to make it what it is. Echo
Hi Mike,
Right now, we don’t have an integrated way for you to discover new Ning Networks to join (though you can always check out the Ning Blog, where we highlight some of our favorites). That said, adding new ways to find Ning Networks you might be interested is one of the next steps for Ning.com.
In terms of staying in touch with your friends, you can do that directly on any Ning Network you are a members.
Thanks!
Laura
Gina, thanks for the comments but how do i find new social networks? I think that it will be hard to find all my friends again but i have a core of about 10 friends but its very sad that the functionality has become so limited,
Please advise best ways to stay in touch with friends .. Thanks
i dont know how to work this new ning site please helpppppp!
Does these mean that i can’t talk to any of my friends that are ning? Or does this mean that I need to not get on this site anymore or what does it mean? By the way my name is Ariel. Hope to here what is going on.
why have you changed it i like the old one please change it back
Thank you for your attention Gina. One of the things that I like in Ning is the access to real people in the administration.
Will you be reinstating the “activity” screen for each network that was featured on the main page?
I used this to check all of the networks I joined.
If you want to remove these functionallities, all right. But, following the policy of Ning, you should give advance notice to us and we will find another way to store such information.
My links and friends disappeared!!!
OMG I cannot believe you people
This redesign is actually underway right now, so if you don’t see any changes try checking back in a few minutes.
Thanks!
