### 󠀁[Missing Progress Indicator for File Uploads](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-efficient-417/)󠁿

 [samir09](https://profiles.wordpress.org/samir09/) Ogwomwenda (Mutunda) 8, 2024

I would like to point out that there is still no progress indicator for displaying
the upload status when adding files in BP Attachement. Adding such an indicator 
would greatly enhance the user experience by providing better visibility into the
process and preventing any confusion during file uploads.

Buddypress has needed this for such a long time. Yes it the first public version
but it is a game changer. When will this get into BP core? Can’t wait.

### 󠀁[Better than the rest already](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/better-than-the-rest-already/)󠁿

 [shawfactor](https://profiles.wordpress.org/shawfactor/) Mugulansigo 27, 2023

This plugin is not perfect but it is a big improvement on existing plugins that 
deliver the same functionality. More importantly the progress of this plugin and
eventual integration into BuddyPress core will ensure this functionality (which 
is essential for the vast majority of social networks) is done in a standard way.
That will then enable other plugins to build upon it.
