NING doesn't seem to care about bugs.  I've had the same problem with seeing any "sent" messages for five years now and they still don't fix it.  I haven't even attempted to go back to the share feature.  UGH.

I would say they do care about bugs, and they fix them most of the times. This is just one of the most basic feature of a social network: to share content with your friends, and somehow this vital broken feature has gone without a fix until now. So I can point out it's only one major failure, but it's one with epic proportions for a company that develops a social networking platform.

I think for the most part they fix the global bugs, but little individual site bugs like not being able to see sent mail, having to use the "share" in order for S4N to work correctly, having S4N not work right and split members' screens....well they just aren't global enough.  I have had these problems for four years now...and no fixes.

The bug in "Choose from friends" is a global bug, but it only kicks in when you have more than x number of friends.

Sad isn't it? The very CORE of viral social loops...and we can't do the most commonly expected function.

I have often described Ning as a Ferrari, delivered with the front window missing, so you can't really go full speed.
