This is a problem found throughout all Ning networks, apparently. For all the money I pay for this, you'd think they'd be on top of this. I'll keep hounding until they get it fixed

Hi Shane.

If that is what they are saying I don't think it is true. I have checked the Ning network that I have for my students and also http://britishphotohistory.ning.com/, which is also a Ning site. Searches on both of those are working as normal. Don't know what they have against cigar box guitars ;-)

Good luck with getting it sorted out.

I am able to search on other Ning sites, so I don't think it is a universal problem.

Another way around it is to use google to search the site for you. If you type this into Google

site:www.cigarboxnation.com

Followed by your search string, it will search just this site.

Hi Shane.

Thanks for getting this sorted. The searches all seem to work well now. I don't know what it took (hopefully not large sums of cash or threats of violence) but it is certainly good to be able to root through all the useful information and inspiring advice that people have placed here. Very much appreciated.

Spoke too soon. Again it isn't working.

The Google work-around (i.e. appending 'site:www.cigarboxnation.com' to your Google search string) is a good one.

Shane should tell the Ning folks that everyone will soon be using Google to search this site and that means revenue going to Google that otherwise would likely gone to Ning. Maybe it would give them added incentive.
