Introducing Activity Feed Improvements, Including Member Status Updates

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.

    Huh... I know linear time is supposed to be an illusion but this is taking it a little far ;) lol Hope that there's more to follow soon! I'm a Ning fan and hope that they'll make it through the wilderness.

When is the deadline, I can get no answers from Ning about this. I have tried to find out anything, but it seems that no one has any answers about anything. I like the 2.0 and do not want to migrate. I do not like the layouts of the 3.0 at all. But was informed it was mandatory...what is going on? Is there anyone who knows anything about all of this? With all of the "glitches" we can plainly see that 3.0 is not a good choice for migration. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated...especially in finding out when the deadline will take place.

  Hi,
  
  Thank you for contacting us regarding the migration of your network to Ning 3.0.
  
  At this time, we are not processing new migration requests, and there isn't a set deadline for migrations. Our team is in the process of collecting feedback on the migration process and using this information to improve the process and experience.
  
  We will be in touch with you when we are ready to move forward with your migration.
  
  Thanks,
  Dustin

  Three months ago I asked NING when I would be required to migrate to 3.0 and was informed there is NO migration to 3.0 from 2.0 "at this time." And that is all that I was informed.

Nothing NEW since July 2014? Have you stopped developing features for 3.0?
