Rtmedia enables image attachments to the Buddy Press activity feed. When an image is attached it calls wp-admin/admin-ajax.php which returns the post with an image preview like this:

However, if BuddyPress Activity Privacy is enabled, it only returns the text without the image like this:

The user must refresh the page before the attachment appears in the activity feed. Because the attachment does not appear immediately the users think it didn’t upload and delete their activity before refreshing the page.

I’m sure this is being caused by BuddyPress Activity Privacy because I am able to toggle this behavior by activating and disabling the plugin.
