Your improved Activity Feed: Now Live

[Nick Barr]

Want to see what it looks like? Read the Help Center article.

I'm excited to announce that the new Activity Feed, which we've previously talked about here and here, is set to go live early next week.

Here's a recap of everything that's in this release:

• Members can post a Status from the Main Page
• Members can comment and like photos, videos, blog posts, and statuses inline from the Activity Feed
• The Activity Feed has a cleaner UI that makes it easier for members to interact with content in the feed
• Videos are playable inline from the Activity Feed, and photo thumbnails are larger

Please note that all of these changes will automatically take effect on your Ning Network when this enhancement is released to everyone next week. There will not be a switch to revert back to the old version.

We know many of you are excited to get early access to this feature, and we'll be selectively enabling it on networks throughout the week. If you'd like early access, please fill out this form.

These improvements will increase engagement across the entire Ning Platform and will make the Activity Feed a much better feature. We've already heard a lot of great ideas around how we can make the Activity Feed even better, including an option to See More items, see new items that have come up since you loaded the page, and the option to add photos, videos, and other content directly to the Activity Feed. We're considering additional improvements based on all of your feedback and are excited to hear more feedback as we roll out the new Activity Feed!

I mentioned it earlier and just want to make sure I am understanding correctly.. Will different text sizes in the LA be fixed in this release ??

[Speed Racer]

the difference text sizes are due to the difference between a status update and a forum discussion or blog post if i'm not mistaken

[Nick Barr]

Yes they should be fixed now

[Chris da Silva]

'no longer accepting submissions' - what a pity!

[Klaus]

Don`t be sorry, Chris..I guess you only have to wait 5 or maybe 6 days then you are Up to Date my friend :-)
