Inappropriate?A lot of people have expressed interest in being able to set the column widths and number of columns in the "manage features" page of the admin control panel.
I also would like the option of header and footer sections that would allow javascript leaderboard ads.
Hopefully Ning is working on giving Network Creators more flexibility for the design and column placements within the "manage features" page. -
Inappropriate?I asked Ning about this and they have it planed but not until the end of the summer.

Inappropriate?I have also added a Microsoft Translation Widget to my site-Coolest Translate widget I have ever seen because it translates the page WITHOUT leaving the page and it seems to load way faster than other scripts I have tried,problem is 200 px is the min width and i need it in the 3rd column so that it will show up sitewide. Right now it is running outside the box on my page-Is there a workaround for this?

Inappropriate?I figured it out.

Inappropriate?How?

Inappropriate?/* Widen out our center column */
.xg_widget_main_index_index #xg_layout_column_2{
width: 700px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
.xg_widget_main_index_index .xg_3col{
margin-right: 10px;
padding: 0px;
width: 700px;
}
.xg_widget_main_index_index .xg_3col .xg_module_body{
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
width: 700px;
} -
the problem is that when I embed a flash file or a photo in an HTML text box, placed in this new wider column, the content STILL shrinks as if the HTML text box was still the former size. ?
This makes for a wider column, where we can't put content into that can use this wider space.
Any solutions ? -

Basicly replace the footer part with this. I have other hacks in there though so I hope you wanted them... lol

Inappropriate?Oh this only works on the main page. Still trying to find one for the rest.

I would like to know how this ning site got only two columns ???? -
Inappropriate?I think it actually has 3 ...2 smaller columns on the right
-
Inappropriate?Any chance of it working in "My Page" instead of the main site?
-
Inappropriate?I would really like this option. Ning hasn't been very good about helping creators monetize their site. I had to outsource and get a 3rd party to put in a leaderboard for me. I'm now trying to get my third column opened up to 300x so i can add a medium rectangle. When is this happening, Ning?
