Thumbnail Featured images in the activity stream

[Prometheus Fire]

Am reporting this from multisite. If a post or custom post type uses a Featured Image, BP ignores it when recording the post to the activity stream. When there is a picture embedded in the post, BP thmubnails and displays it when it creates the activity record.

There are a lot of plugins and themes that focus on using the Featured Image for the post to do certain things. BP should respect the use of featured images and then thumbnail them the way it does embedded images and display them when it creates an activity record.

This would be a good, highly visible feature to add for 1.6.

Too late for 1.6, so moving to Future Release. If you want to code up a patch, the likelihood of including something like this in core sooner increases.

This was changed some years ago in BP 2.3. The current image selection priority order is this: Featured Image > Galleries > inline <img>.
