Ning Classic or Ning Design Studio?

I would love input from the users about the two.

Do you want one code to rule them all?

There is a way I can do it, it just involves change.

Also, been thinking of switching to the new design studio so please tell me all about your experiences with it and if you prefer one or the other.

Thanks Debbie! I figured as much so that's why I worked so hard to make one code that works with both. :)

Yuck. I hate it. From my stand point, "It's not worth it" to upgrade as the Ning Tech suggested. If there is a big benefit to Ang, I'll happily try to learn it, but I dislike it intensely.

It's a benefit to creators who don't know code as far as I can tell, not worth it for me as long as I can keep our code to work either classic or DS.

Stardust, how do they steal the codes? I tend to stay here in my own little world so I don't know what's been going on.

I'll keep the test site Design Studio for those who want to tinker there, but this site will remain classic unless they force a change. :)

Yes, one you get to the Ning generator, if you don't want to fill it out you can just click finished and it will give you a default code.

More and more communities are using the DS and those that are new to Ning start off with the DS so I think it time to start adding DS themes here. As you know there are only a few DS theme places and none are on Ning all are limited to their theme work so I am putting my 2 cents in to vote yes so we have options.
Thanks for listening.

Even that would be wonderful, but you guys have such talent that we would love to use your creativity. Be aware that Ning is continuing their updates for their DS so this leads me to believe alot of Ning will be more DS as time goes on. After Googling Design Studio Themes I only came up with one site Two by Two all Christian themes (mainly) while I have nothing against that variety is the spice of life!

The generators are running a DS compatible code. All my newer layouts should work on DS. Guess I should add the design studio to the description more often to get on Google. Thanks for the input!

Cool let me try one on a DS community. Yes good idea on the description here maybe even a tab for just DS so those that are like me and kinda dumb will see it lol.
