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!

  • thanks god.. its showing life again...

    • still as buggy as crap though,,

      • nothing from Monday night to yesterday shows up when it came back. nothing posted today went into it. And there are still no fixzes to absence of Titles in feed. Oh flip. i was kinda hoping it was down for updates.

  • Both of my sites' Activity Feed is now completely blank. Is that because of this update? Is there a way for me to get it back? There was tons of valuable information in those feeds. 

    • Hi Beth,

      You won't lose it - it's a problem at Ning's end, not that they have acknowledged it. It will reappear at some stage by itself. Can't imagine it will be before 8am Pacific time, though....

      • Thanks, Tim. Appreciate it! Just wish they would say something it about it so I don't waste my time trying to figure out how to get it back.

  • My ticket to Ning...

    The problems with the activity feed are killing every 3.0 site's activity. These problems have made us look bad and Ning look incompetent. The Ning Status page says everything is fine. That is a joke isn't it? The activity feed was bad when it did work. It did not update but once an hour. That is not acceptable. Now it is even worse with nothing being on the feed. The activity feed is a vital aspect to our sites. Having a feed that is broken more than it is working, and when it is working it is still shit, is something that should be fixed very soon. Migrating from 2.0 was the worst possible decision. Forget that we lost content and all of our comments are gone. Forget that migration was finalized 24 hours after the process began without letting us approve of the new site. Forget the problems with group admins not being able to edit any of the posts in their groups. We still try to keep things moving but without a properly working activity feed it is impossible.

    • My ticket (the second I've filed on activity feed) since migrating...

      All known issues should surely be identified in a testing environment and fixed before a release? You have released a defective feature to the network but it is a feature my network depends on. I have logged on this evening to find that the feed has now completely disappeared. Not only does this reflect badly to our customers in terms of their experience but it also reflects badly on us as a business.

      What's going on? Now that we have no communication from you on creators and there is nothing on the status blog to say there is an issue or it's being worked on so expect disruption etc. I could deal with that but not knowing anything and just hoping it's getting fixed and having to deal with issues on a network that I pay the top tier 'ultimate' plan for is not acceptable.

      Can you provide an update on what's happening and why the activity feed has disappeared and when it will be fixed and working properly?

      The best bit - the response - no acknowledgement - no apology - absolute joke 

      Hey Mike,

      Thanks for following up. It looks like there is a temporary issue with Activity Feeds not loading on some networks right now. Our engineers are working on a fix right now, so I'd be happy to follow up with you once it has been resolved.

      You can also stay updated by checking out our Status page at status.ning.com

      Cheers!

      • What gets to me and surely they should know this. they cant go home and leave things broken, we all live in different time zones and our networks are up and in use 24 hours a day..

        The feed was down for at least 8 hours before they even knew about it.. and it was down for around 10 hours altogether  and it was probably around 12 hours before anything started showing up on the ning status blog...

        what would have happened if this happened friday night,

        The support maintenance and checking on running systems on this evidence is worse than poor, its bordering on amateurish
