We've had a ton of people who have been thrilled with Ning so far, created fantastic networks, and generally been having a great experience. <br><br>To us, though, it doesn't matter that's the case if even one person has the experience you've described using Ning. If it's possible, we're going to work to win you back. <br><br>In terms of the profile questions, when you create your own social network on Ning, you define what those questions are. You can make them required or not. You used the default questions, which is cool, but you can change those at any point in time. That's entirely up to you.<br><br>As for running into an error on the multiple choice questions, that was a bug that we saw over the weekend and fixed this morning. It's our fault and we're sorry.<br><br>So, you have every reason in the world to be frustrated and give up on us, I would too if I had that experience. But if you wanted to drop me an email at gina(at)ning(dot)com, I'd like to make this right.<br><br>Have a great weekend,<br>Gina <br>ceo, NingGina Bianchinihttp://networkcreators.ning.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11995570.post-24759508595629276782007-03-12T08:01:43.000-04:002007-03-12T08:01:43.000-04:00I ran into that same error regarding multiple-choi...I ran into that same error regarding multiple-choice in the profile (glad that's fixed), but other than that I haven't run into any of the other errors you experienced. Go figure!<br><br>I still like Drupal, but I just found Elgg to be pretty unintuitive. Even with the new release, I think it's pretty hard for the uninitiated to just jump into it. I definitely dig drupal, but I'm not necessarily sold on it being a social networking site, as much as a content management solution. I know some people have done it, but I haven't been blown away yet. <br><br>Guess I'm still searching for the perfect solution, but so far Ning looks the closest to me.Steve Dembohttp://teach42.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11995570.post-60872108699248563372007-03-12T10:06:53.000-04:002007-03-12T10:06:53.000-04:00Yeah, I'm planning a follow-up post about the ...Yeah, I'm planning a follow-up post about the quick turnaround time for the bug fixes. I'm liking Ning much better now that it works for me.<br><br>I agree about Elgg. Once you get it running it seems ok, but for the life of me I just couldn't get it running error free and the only help I could get was when people said "Check the forums." Even with the rocky start, I think Ning is much better than Elgg and may be better than Drupal for what I want to do.theartguyhttp://academicaesthetic.comnoreply@blogger.com
