<p>I can't address the activity, but the 'look' is a matter of styling choices that one selects- basic platform theme choice, fonts, colors, background, module shape and header styles, site header, footer, navigation tabs style, etc. The site builder styled it to be airy and fresh. The creative use of images and slideshows (even for the sheet music pdfs) is impressive. <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Tim Twiss said:…</cite></p>

<p>It seems to me like an added 3rd party widget, not provided by Ning. But (and I might be wrong) it appears members cannot add tunes to it- only the people who run the site and configure the widget. You select tunes from the playlist there, to listen to. Should ask the really nice man! ;D</p>

<p>John, yes you can upgrade to the '2.0 Pro level'. But that'll cost you twice what you pay now, and all you'll gain really is a dinky music player which is not very good I can tell you first hand. Most folks prefer using the video feature. In Ning version 3.0 we will all <em>lose</em> the Ning music player anyway, so perhaps better not to have people begin loading tunes to one at this point anyway.</p>
<p>You can switch back and forth between Mini, Plus, and Pro plans in Ning 2.0 still…</p>

<p>You can switch back and forth between Mini, Plus, and Pro plans in Ning 2.0 still (I'm guessing you are currently on the Plus 2.0) and also between annual payment and monthly payment. You can do all that without moving to 3.0 yet. But it looks like 3.0 is still a long ways off- Ning's progress on it seems to be slowing down more and more, and it still lacks a Member Video feature, Search, Chat, Photo albums, slideshows, and Events features, and has a large number of glitches... so even though you 'can' migrate to 3.0 with Ning's help..I don't think you'd <em>want</em> to migrate to it yet. My 2 cent advice is to keep everything the way it is now for a while yet.</p> We are going to have to switc…tag:minstrelbanjo.ning.com,2014-07-23:2477478:Comment:1163432014-07-23T23:22:29.045ZJohn Mascialehttps://minstrelbanjo.ning.com/profile/JohnMasciale
<p>We are going to have to switch over to Ning version 3 at some point in time. I think when we do so we can consider making the change. I'm not sure whether we can make a change to a different plan without upgrading as well. If we get the pledges to fund the advanced features (we'll need another $240) then I'll upgrade us.</p>
