Comment (by DJPaul):

 Hi @rosyteddy

 First all of, thanks very much for contributing to this discussion. You're
 right that in current versions of BP, most of the time, we do not show
 images (from Posts, or attached as Galleries) in the activity stream. This
 is exactly one of the things that I hope we can improve with this ticket
 for BuddyPress 2.3.

 The work I've done here so far means, for your example, that an image from
 a gallery in a post *will* be shown in the activity stream. However, it
 won't show multiple images, or a grid/tiles of the images in the gallery.

 While I think that would be a really great enhancement, it needs to wait
 for a later release (perhaps even BP 2.4) due to some edge cases around
 involving making sure we're loading the gallery CSS + JS markup -- when
 appropriate -- on the Activity directory page. We're planning on some new
 templates for a BP release sometime this year, and that will be the right
 time to further iterate on this feature.
