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!

          • LOL! Amen to that!! 

            One thing I'm not seeing in my activity feed is the ability to "view new items that have appeared since they loaded the page" unless one refreshes the page. The more button at the bottom just takes you to older posts. Is there a separate setting for this?

            • Yes exactly! I'm not seeing it either. My site is dead boring right now :(

  • Its WAS good! Now all of my banners and background artwork pics have disappeared! My site looks so amature right now...not good!

  • There is not any notification when people comment on status updates in the activity feed?

            • Hi John.....Now I am even more confused because on my site the More button bounces whether I am logged in or not. ALSO when I called Ning support this morning they told me that the 'status update' update had been disabled globally and would be re enabled around about Wednesday of next week???

              Additionally it occurs to me that I would prefer the More button to work the same way for everyone.

              • Interesting Ceri that Ning told you the status update was disabled globally...mines still working lol!
