Ning 3.0h No!

I'm fairly speechless and at the same time I have so much to say that I can't get it all out in one sitting...

Yes that is an Admin screen shot.

So the whole site design I did is void now? It does work currently on the site. Is that an admin. screenshot?

PerseH said:
Here is what I found on mine that I see EMW has as well, new themes have all functions while old ones are null and void basically. "Some controls are disabled" REALLY?!

It stinks not being able to get detailed, that is why I thought I might add separate scripts for adding a header, but we might want to wait and see what kind of butchery Ning does to their codes. lol / col

Ok I will go back to just your part of the code and leave off the other I sent to you. Tks

Connie, my background is working there. Maybe it is the character limit causing an issue?

I know, I knew you would be frustrated once I saw that on PUW but I figured you would catch up sooner or later. Once mine is unlocked then I will have to get a new code from you eventually. You greatly helped the look of it as Ning just didn't do a good job.

AnGella said:

Ok, just saw that in my network. Pretty much makes all the work I did in the Network Admin Tips group void. Will have to find some time to check out new themes with all functions, but I don't want to change my current theme. Grrr... frustrating!

When did they do that?

Anyone who paid for customization would be upset, not just those who spent the time on it. I just don't know why they would do that to people.

Connie, I updated this simple code to cover the cover image area as well:

Simple 3.0

That site had the white box so I figured I would add the transparent code.

I'd say a few months back, I'm not quite sure because I never go to my Design Studio when I do it is to insert a background photo that is when I saw the limitations.

I found this code and just inserted it into EMW for them, hope they are okay with that but most want that box gone..

You can make simple 3.0 versions of them offering a cover image to go with them. I would post the cover image first and with the profile theme you could add a link to the cover image used in screenshot.

Skem Tester ≧❀‿❀≦ said:

I agree Angela I am on one of the oldest Christian sites it is still the same ol 2.0 themes and everyone is happy with using them that is why I made my last one Revelation several peeps been begging for Christian. That gives me a lift just knowing we aren't going anywhere for a good while. Back to making 2.0's happy happy Then I can make my Ning3.0's on the foreign site and our sandbox. Glad that is decided♥

AnGella said:
Thanks so much for the input. Terrifying. It really does make me want to wait until they have their stuff together before I make a move and then have to rebuild again and again. As much as I want to move and get on with 3.0 it sounds like it is still pretty unstable and changing more than I can keep up with.

PerseH said:
I migrated then begged to have my 2.0 back. Everything transferred corrected other than my forum but they worked that out unfortunately NO notifications work at this time and I am not sure this is a top priority for them. My community thrives on receiving notifications such as comments on someones page or comments in a forum or comments in a group etc... They do not have this working at all, and it seems my Broadcast wasn't working either. So I have my 2.0 back but they locked me out of my 3.0 till he next phase so hopefully they will have that fixed. Oh and btw the way people are working on the V2 now and not the V1 or the updated design studio platforms. So any CSS for communities you guys make might not work.

AnGella said:
Looks like they are still working out migration bugs. :(. One person said only group forums transferred. I want to be absolutely sure we don't loose anything before we make the move. Any of our members made the move?

Skem Tester ≧❀‿❀≦ said:
After all said and done I am ready for the change. I think it will be fun now that I have experienced the move on other sites. However we can make it much more fun by keeping the larger header 970x500 and up. That itself is a pleaser to us who create.

Okay I changed their background to one of the newer themes as a preview of course and see how your profile CSS went wonky:

The box is important for profile info, so you don't want it gone but you do want it to look good and not clash with the limited cover image. Now that you added it I can see the Gov. from Walking dead. LOL!

It could be because of the script not loading for the preview. If the modules have the same CSS names it should still work.

But that wasn't my background only the cover stayed the same. Yes I wish the Gov was more visible. We really should have the newest themes but I am not going there till we can have personal profile pages as well.
