So I am sad to say that I am yet to hear back from Ning regarding my oh so unpleasant ad experience. But, I discovered how to solve my own problem. The only trick is that it took $20/per month to do so. Now I could potentially rant about this misunderstanding, but I’ll save my rant for something much more interesting (and pressing) – like, Google’s OpenSocial.

The point is that no one is perfect – so despite this mishap, I’m still very happy with Ning. I’ve also learned that it’s important to always read the fine print and to check the “premium package” as the solution may be there (for a price)- um, duh.
