"Nevermind.  I was pasting into the wysiwyg and not the HTML.  Once I choose HTML in the upper bar, all worked accordingly.  Phew.  I thought I was going to have REALLY learn HTML instead of being the HTML poser that I am. "

Ning 3.0 HTML

I am experimenting with Ning 3.0. I am not a coder but I do cut and paste a lot of embedded code from other websites.  That said none of the code I embedded in Ning 2.0 in text boxes work in the HTML boxes.  For example, to embed my ScoopIt page I used the following without success on 3.0:<p><iframe width="480" height="200" align="middle" src="…See More

How do you handle members that advertise their products

We have two members that advertise their products.  Their products are relevant to our community.  However, is this free advertising and how often do I let them talk about their products.  In the past, I have approved all content as long as it is relevant, but I am beginning to question this policy. Their posts to create some buzz and sometimes even get into my "Top Content".   How do other online administrators handle this? See More

Well, unfortunately when I search Kentucky events the results list the old events first and the recent ones on the bottom. Once again my users complain. I…See More
