Do the updates show up after you hit the Refresh button in your browser? (In other words, is this just a Javascript problem, or are the updates not being saved to your database?)

Are you running any spam-prevention plugins that might be blocking updates with given links? Check Dashboard > Activity > Spam to make sure that the items are not being sent to spam.

Ok. I found it now on Dashboard > Activity > Spam

Says: Assigned as spam by Akismet

But still assign all updates as spam, how can i solve this?

Yes, this is expected behaviour.

Just before an activity item is saved to the DB, if Akismet integration is active, we ask Akismet if it thinks its spam. Due to the legacy JavaScript that powers BuddyPress' templates at the moment not being that great, there are a few edge cases where it thinks any return value from the JavaScript call is always a success message, so we can't show a message in this situation saying that "something's gone wrong".

It's something that we definitely need to improve on, and this specific thing is likely to improve in 2.0 or 2.1, as we start to replace legacy templates.

Can't comment on why Akismet things your messages might be spam, but I'd suggest encouraging users to post longer + more meaningful messages, or not include URLs. If your site requires these very short messages with URLs, the easiest immediate action you can take is probably to disable the activity Akismet integration. I wrote a plugin that does this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-activity-akismet/

Thanks for reporting this issue out to us, and I'm sorry it took so long for us to wrap this up with you.
