Hello Everyone

As you can see, over a year has passed since the last update. Sadly, Ning has made no progress on the outstanding functions that we need for Royal Courts. This includes Events which I believe is critical to our operations.

Many Network Creators have given up and are now moving to other platforms. I'm going to investigate this a bit and see if this is feasible for us. I want to have some information and a bit of a plan just in case Ning decides to close shop altogether.

On the bright side, there does appear to be some alternatives that will allow us to migrate all (or most) of our current content.

Thanks!

Hello Everyone

It's been a while since my last report on moving to Ning 3.0. As you may recall, Ning had planned to have early migration tools out by the end of October and from that I was guestimating that we would be able to move sometime in December.

Well, as typically happens with a lot of software development, Ning missed their target date for the migration software and then went silent. As you can imagine there are many Network Creators fuming about the delay & lack of communication. And you thought LL was the only company to face these problems

Anyway, today Ning came out with Migrating to Ning 3.0 Status Update which includes:

Since our last update , the engineering team working behind the scenes on the migration process has made serious advances. We currently support migrating the following elements of 2.0 networks, with more to come as we continue to make progress:

• Members
• Blogs
• Forums
• Photos
• Likes
• Comments
• Friends
• Messages

I'm glad to see that they are moving along but you will notice that they haven't tackled Events or Videos as of yet. From what I can gather these will be added sometime"in the new year".

Since these are important features for our community we are going to have to wait a while longer. I'll keep you updated as I find out more.

Please note that we are not accepting new members on The Royal Courts 3.0 (beta) site .

When the migration tools are complete all of our current members & their content will be transferred automatically. I'm really looking forward to that

Any questions, just give me a shout!

Hello Everyone

Ning is making progress on 3.0 and has started a limited migration process. Unfortunately they are still missing both Events & Videos which means that we are still in a holding pattern.

On a positive note, some of their recent additions/updates will make for a better site experience & I'm really looking forward to the day that we can switch over.

Thanks!

I was wondering about the migration, thanks for the update and all the hard work you do for this site.

Cheers,

You're very welcome, Leena.

Being intimately familiar with IT project delivery schedules & their pitfall I'm really not surprised at the delay but that doesn't keep me from being impatient.

I wish they would hurry up!!! )
