In the next few weeks the following features will be rolled out on the site:-

Rich Text & Media in all of your Main Page modules

Your Activity, Blog, and Forum features will support rich text and media. This means that if someone posts a video, you should be able to play it from the Activity Feed. And if someone posts a forum discussion with a photo or hyperlinks, those should appear on the Main Page as well.

It's a simple change, but making content more engaging on the Main Page is a great way to draw people deeper into your community.

Like & Comment on Status, and post a status from the Main Page

We've seen great traction of the Status feature, which lets members share updates and integrate with third party services like Twitter & Facebook. We'll continue that momentum by improving Status in 2 ways:

1) Let members post a status from the Main Page
2) Let members comment on and like status posts.

Inline Commenting

Finally, we've seen great engagement by allowing Liking inline on the Main Page. We want to take it to the next level and let members comment inline on the Main Page in the Activity Feed and Blog module.

We're just kicking off work on these initiatives, and we'll have more updates as we get closer to releasing. I just wanted to share these projects with you early, and get your initial thoughts and feedback!
