I'm just as frustrated. Unfortunately, at the moment I don't have the power to bring back the old one, although, I really wish I could. This was an upgrade by Ning and it was pushed out to all of their 800,000 social networks so it wasn't our choice. I've commented on their blog and I'm sure that many others will do the same.

Ning is generally very responsive so I hope that we'll be back to a sense of normal soon.

I am so sorry for this trouble. It's certainly not good timing for us with job decisions being made everyday.

Ugh.

They should have given some notice on this, and even better would have been to beta test the new chat with us, while keeping the old chat up. Who better to beta test than all of us here? But yeah, they should have warned us first.; ▶ Reply to This

They were updating us, but we should have been updating you. However, I don't think all of us as network creators knew how different this would be. I just popped over to another network I am a member of that also actively uses the chat and they're not happy either. Lots of "sighs."

Regardless, we'll all get through it. We'll go insane first, sure, but we'll get through it! :); ▶ Reply to This
