Introduction to Activities
What are the activities that are showing up on my profile?
Activities is a stream of your actions in various community applications under MSDN. Only your public contribution actions are recorded and are displayed on your profile. This allows other users on MSDN get to know more about your public contributions and actions on MSDN.

I do not see all my activities on my profile. Is there a problem?
Your activities are being recorded only since the last week of March 2009. Older activities are no longer available. Also, we do not store all your activities, but only the last 50 activities across all applications. This could result in some of your older activities to fall off and hence will no longer appear in your profile.

How do I control what activities are recorded and show up in my profile?
We currently do not have any functionality that allows controlling what activities show up on your profile. However, we are looking to add additional features in upcoming releases that provide additional levels of control.
