Thank you for your patience over the past several weeks. As you know, we closely follow and appreciate the feedback you share on Creators, and we’d like to make a couple of important announcements related to your posts.
First, regarding the product, the team has been working over the last several months on re-architecting and re-developing a new Activity Feed for Ning 3.0. The new Activity Feed will include the addition of statuses and more embeds based on pasting links into the status field. This isn’t everything that the team is working on but the most significant short term new capability. We are planning to release this feature in July.
We also wanted to address the downtime that some of you experienced on May 26th and 27th. After the scheduled maintenance on Monday to update a group of servers, we discovered that some of the backup servers were malfunctioning. We've corrected this and have changed our operating procedures to prevent this from happening again.
On the communication side, based on several factors including resources and priorities, we have made the decision that we will no longer be involved in providing day-to-day support and feedback through the Creators community. Communication from the Ning team needs to be focused on product capabilities and new releases and other general announcements such as this one. Our team is focusing on expanding some of the planned features that we already have in development. Once we have more information to share with you, we will do it here.
Please continue to use this community as a productive place to have conversations about how to build, grow, and manage Ning Networks. We will continue to provide technical support through tickets and phone. As always, phone support is available to those with networks on Pro, Performance and Ultimate plans. Our technical support team is available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm PST.

You can not imagine how much I'm looking forward to the launch of the new activity feed. The member of my network are charging this much.
What if just what if the Activity Feed doesn't come out in July. O-M-G this is going to be interesting.
I hope video embed is there as well as photo albums:) The way it is now it kind of sucks putting one picture at a time:( or if you put more than one it takes forever plus you can't do it from your phone or tablet.
Ning has said they are not going to offer photo albums at all to 3.0, nor member slideshows. Instead of albums, they suggest we use photo categories. I don't think it makes sense to hope for photo albums in the activity feed update right now, but good luck on that.
Does that mean you can add multiple pictures at once and just put a caption like "Party at my friends house" or we're still going to have to put a description on every picture? this is very annoying and not really compatible with any of the other networks out there. In this day in age when everybody takes pictures and want to share it with every device possible it is a mystery why NING has not made it easier to add pictures.
