Upcoming feature release Thursday, Sep. 25
We have a new release coming on Thursday, September 25 at 6pm PST. This release will include:
1) New Message Center & Friend Request Interface: the Network Inbox and Friend Requests are moving out of the Ningbar and will now be fully integrated into your social network on Ning.
2) Simplified Main & Profile Pages: changes include more space between columns, standardized text size across modules, and the introduction of a blog tab. NOTE: if you have customized your network's CSS, please review these important details.
3) A New iPhone Interface: a supported mobile version of your network, accessible at the domain "http://yourdomain.ning.com/m/". You can read about these in more detail here.
Additionally, we're making some changes of particular interest to developers:
1) Removal of Dojo: jQuery, which has a lighter footprint, more extensive documentation, and a higher amount of plug-ins and extensions, will be replacing the Dojo JavaScript framework.
2) Exclusive support of WebDAV access: SFTP will no longer be available.
For screenshots and further details, check out the Preview.
Thanks!
The Ning Team
[Update: With so many new, improved and modified features coming, we are going to take another week to do further testing and polish it up. As a result, this release is now tentatively scheduled to take place on Thursday, Sep. 25. This will allow us to tackle outstanding issues before — not after — this release goes live on to your networks. We want you and your members to have a flawless transition to this new release, and hopefully you understand the need for the delay. We'll continue to update you as we get closer to the new release date.]

The biggest shame of all is that there was no management comment in this length of time, in my opinion. -(©¿©)- Doc

Problems with the New Modified Features.
The new modified features have some great disadvantages. The new setup has taken away some features from Ning Members. The old setup had your small Profile Photo, capability to send an email message, and the ability to see all of you friends over the whole Ning Network also new friends waiting to be approved. Now all we have is just the profile icon which has no use. Before if you are waiting for an approval from the owner; for membership to a site, you could send the owner a message, now you can not. Before you could see all of you members over the whole Ning Network, as I stated earlier, this was a great feature if you wanted to check and find a friend that you had forgot what site he belonged to you could just click on your friend on the whole Ning Network, and gather the information you need. Note on MySpace they still have this feature, you can see all of you friends on the whole MySpace network. With the new setup all you can see is the friends you have just on that site you are logged on. Now when you try to log on to a site that you are waiting for approval you have no way to send them a message. I believe all of the features should be added back to us members and still have the new features that have been added.
Thank you,
TomyD

Problems with the New Modified Features Part 2.
The new modified features have some great disadvantages. This is addition to my first reply that I had sent. How do you remove or I should say withdraw a friends request. This is why I stated that the old setup was superior to what member have to control their Ning membership.
Thank you,
TomyD
