I haven't used MFP for maybe a little over a month but I just logged in today and I can't find my normal news activity feed where I can talk with my friends. I saw the post about the new activity feed view but I followed the instructions and still can't see any of my friends status updates. What happened? 😞

    How do I find the new activity feed, lol! I wish they didn't change it.

    In the Community part of MFP, click on your avatar photo in the upper right of a page. That will open a drop down or page that is your Community profile. Click on the photo again, and it will take you to your activity feed.

    On that preceding (Community profile) page, there's an "Account & Privacy Settings" that lets you make your Community profile (so activity feed) public within the Community, or private just to you. There's not a way to limit it just to specific people.

    If you make it public, other MFP people can post on your activity feed. You can post on the activity feed of other users who've made their profiles public, too.

    That's it. I'm not saying that's equivalent to the old newsfeed, or a good replacement. I'm just answering the question about what and where to find it.

    The old news feed feature has been permanently dropped from MFP. The new activity feed behaves differently, and nothing from the old newsfeed copied over to the activity feed.

    This sucks! They just made it more difficult to communicate with others IMO. All communication is done outside the app and when you want to see a different discussion it sends you back to the app to start all over.
    Is it just me with this problem????

    It's clunky - basically we've gone back in time to the late 90s. 😆

    Make sure you use the back arrow at the upper left corner and not the back button on your phone. That should keep you within the community section of the site.

    I can’t figure out how to see anyone else’s activity feed.

    Just tap/ click on someone user profile in the boards and then tap/click on 'view profile'. That works until they have set their profile to private:
