Status updates have been removed in v5

[Arthmoor]

So the "Prepare for v5" feature said to post here if we have questions.

I don't recall seeing anywhere that it was mentioned the status updates feature was going to be removed. While our community doesn't use them a lot, they're still something people want. Are there plans for something to replace it or is it just going away forever? If this was mentioned somewhere else I'd appreciate a link to the topic.

Hi @Arthmoor,

The team have mentioned that status updates will be removed and once you upgrade, the status section simply won't exist anymore.

There is a topic open in the Beta Testing club though to discuss what happens to published status updates though.

This has been posted for a year and a half...  in fact back in April of 2023.

This warning appears for me even though I disabled status updates as a setting.

Can I get rid of it? If yes, how?

Most likely you have some old status updates in the database from before you disabled it.

 

If you're not using it you can ignore the warning. Any existing status updates will simply be deleted when upgrading to v5.

Turns out there were 3 of them. They're now gone and so is the warning.

Yes, I also noticed this when I checked out that ACP-page.

This is a real shame, and I don't understand why they would remove this feature from a "social" platform. 😞

Sad to see this going.  I hope someone makes a third party for it.  I know my community loves the status updates.
