Ning - Cool features

[Alendar]

Let's be positive here. There are some really cool features.
Like "Last Reply" link. You can jump straight to the end.
Or seeing all activity on the main page.
Or blazing main page. blazes!
Or seeing the latest photos added on the photos tab.
Or rating photos - cool!
Or blocking comments on photos, I see some people do that. Nice for sensitive folks
chat could be cool - maybe
Apps might be fun
Your own page

Yes I like it too sometimes different is good,guess we need to set up something to help people find there way around

[Alendar]

It's in the Forums on the bottom of the main page. Doesn't seem to be elsewhere, though.

Where is the "last reply" feature, Alendar? I'm not seeing it.

Don't see the questions anywhere, am I missing it?

[Alendar]

I don't think there is a question section. I know Rishi put up a Q & A group. Each discussion serves as a question.

The photos download bigger, no cropping!

I like seeing where people live on the Members page without having to go to their profiles. I also like the better photo resolution. (Mourning the kudo loss, though).

What do you mean rate the post? I don't see that.

[Alendar]

That's true! What's interesting is that it accurately maps your zip code to the town you live in. Since only 2 people live in Perkasie, and one of them is a muskrat, it's easy to figure out where I live!

Blogs are interesting, though it does bring out the salesmen.

So far, I'm liking the new site. I'm just glad to see most of the old gang over here. I am surprised at the similarities that remain. It's different in appearance, but the spirit is the same and the most important feature, the people, are here.

There seems to be a way to set parameters on email alerts and a bunch of other things. Also you can rearrange everything your main page to make it more useful to you. The Follow feature is nice to be advised when there are new posts.

True but the email alerts were driving me nuts. I had 200 or so when I logged in this morning and I couldn't find the note from my insurance company I was actually looking for. So to solve that problem I went and made a new email address specific to TBD (Yahoo gives you as many as you want free so why not I figured). Now I can just launch that email account along with TBD and use it as my old alert box! Oh and I was able to change the email address I had listed on my ning account here too with no problem. It's on the settings page.
Sometimes we have to get creative to get what we want here lol.
