When you go to a group in Active Social there are 2 sections on the bottom left - New members and Featured members

Does anyone know what the criteria is for users being shown as featured members?  ...and how long do you have to be "new" to stay in the new members section - if no new members join - do the old ones stay there indefinitely?

Featured members is completely random. New Members simply shows the most recent members to join. It will change each time a new member is added to the group.

Will, is there any way you can add the option for us to choose featured members?

I think it's important to be able to choose featured members because you might want to highlight members that have made the most out of their profiles in terms of adding info etc.

If there could be an option to randomize as it currently does, or for us to select specific members as featured members, that would be awesome.

Thanks

Will,

For the New Members - if no new members join - do the old ones stay there indefinitely?

Yes. It shows the most recent members.

Thanks Will. We ended up removing Featured Members since there is no way to control who is shown.

The ability to select featured members would be great! I would also like the ability to specify a global setting, "Featured)Days"which would auto-set the new "Feature_Until" field.

I think that should be on an individual basis per member rather than globally. You would first select the member, then choose whether you want them to be featured for x number of days, or indefinitely until manually changed.
