Current status of the Ning Platform is always available on the Ning Status Blog.

Today we're pleased to release a set of improvements to the Activity Feed feature on Ning 3.0 networks.

The updated Activity Feed allows members to view older items in the feed, and to view new items that have appeared since they loaded the page.

We've expanded the capabilities of Social Feeds so that you can have items automatically added to the Activity Feed via RSS and Twitter.

We've added a status feature, so that your members can leave status updates in the feed, and we've added link parsing for status updates, so that if a member adds a link, for example, to YouTube, the video is embedded and playable directly in the feed. Link parsing and embedding works with a wide variety of sites, including: YouTube, Dailymotion, Vine, Flickr video, Twitter, Soundcloud and Bandcamp. We'll also provide a preview of content for any link to a site that supports the OpenGraph standard.

With this release, members can also comment on status updates and individual photos directly in the feed.

In order to see and activate the new options that are available for the Activity Feed, head to the Activity Feed Settings page in the Social Site Manager.

You need to be a member of Ning Creators Social Network to add comments!

                • Yes very interesting indeed....clearly the Ning customer service rep was being 'economical with the truth' :)

              • Update: Now it's working again ( intermittently ) on Group pages but NOT on the home page....curiouser and curiouser :)

            • Is if you have selected only members can view?  I assume public content does not do this?

  • Just received this reply in response to my ticket.

    "Thank you for getting in touch with our team. We have received reports from some other Network Creators about the issue with the activity feed update and we've disabled it for now.

    Please let us know if you are still facing any issue with the activity feed"
    • I was told something similar when I called earlier on BUT it appears to be still live and still completely non-functional????

      • Ha! "Live and non functional" sums it up pretty well :)

    • But Discussions posted in groups DO show up on new Latest Activity feed. Just not Comments on the Group walls. if you also think about it, because commenting on a Comment Wall on a Group does not have the ability to move it up the Group hub (as it does on Ning 2) i wonder if the Comment Walls in the Groups are not in some way ''detached'' from the rest of the technology or software, like an under-developed addition? Not integrated properly i mean?

        • Would not just that be a comment wall on the group page in question?

        • That would be acceptable. I see your point. But if we have to wait as long as we have waited for this update for your suggestion to happen, many months, then what to do with all the invisible activity on sites now and the resultant loss of participation?

  • Everything is going very well in my community with this new feature. Just give it time to adjust and the bugs will disappear.
