I jumped on the Ning bandwagon back when they were still relatively new. I remember very clearly how Ning stated that all of our network content belongs to us.
Then they changed it to something less appealing; then they totally did away with any idea that you own your content.
Unfortunately before they pulled the bait and switch, I had signed up many networks, my favorite one I am now looking desperately to retrieve the data from so I can go to a platform that isn't run by a shady corporation who clearly has no qualms about outright public deception.

Intense Dilemmas

I was really looking forward to installing ID but it's obvious there are some major problems going on here. Looks like I'm going to wait out the storm before I go investing in this platform.

I really wish Ning would let the content go. This is the one thing keeping me from making the switch.

No stopping the spam profiles. Don't we have Capcha??

I can't even keep up with the amount of spam profiles trying to join my network anymore.

Ok, I've been looking all over the net trying to find people with this issue. Looks like I found them!
I have the same problem here and it's just very unfortunate because almost no other service offers an integrated chat for Ning. And Ning's native chat feature is really bad.
The last employee reply on this topic was 9 months ago. Has anyone found a solution in that time?

Width issues on Ning Network's front page.

The chat module you provide for Ning is pretty cool. But it seems no matter how I change the width, it never works right on my front page. There is always something like 15% of the module that gets cut off.

I've done everything I can think of. Please help.

Is it possible some string of CSS in my advanced settings on Ning is doing this?

Hm, apparently the random posts button doesn't work either. Just a heads up.

Using Wibiya Toolbar on Ning Networks is Awesome: But Fix 2 Things

Wibiya, your toolbar product is unbeatable. Excellent job.
Now I know you don't support Ning but it works very well there and I would like to mention just TWO simple things that would make it a Must Have:

1. The Shout Box could replace Ning chat (which sucks btw). But when you hit your 'Enter' key it should post what you wrote. At this point you have it so that it goes down a space.
Sidenote: Please! If you can; please provide an embeddable Shout Box that replicates all shouts, so that users can see people chatting right away on our front pages (if we embed it there).

2. The Recent Posts area is not picking up the pictures from my Latest Activity feed RSS.

Fix those up and I don't see any reason that your toolbar shouldn't be all over Ning sites.
And please realize, you've brought Facebook Connect to Ning sites. There have been thousands of Ningers whining for FB Connect (myself included) for months!

It's still going on, around 200 now.
