[...] As John said in July, activity breeds activity. It’s fair to say that the time between the 1.2.5 and 1.2.6 releases was too long, but under the hood, 1.2.6 is a very worthwhile upgrade. Almost one hundred bugs have been fixed. For example, 1.2.6 reduces bbPress memory load, improves the BP-Default theme in terms of features and normalisation of all actions and template HTML, fixes an important issue related to activation of user accounts — and much more.

The above_problem_solved and outofthebox privacy controls can indeed make BP immediately the ultimate SNW. Added beauty (or ?utility) would be if our members can add Social Apps or Gadgets, a feature lacking in most social scripts in an easy way.

Activity does breed activity that what Twitter is for. I dont understand people starting blogs and then losing interest what a waste if you ask me… Blogging especially to make money should be consistent to see the results in the serps. By the way I love Buddypress keep up the good work!

“For everyone that was worried about BuddyPress, you can breathe a sigh of relief.”

For my part, I lost faith in BP a few months back, based on the problems I perceived with usability of the new (at that time) design of this very site (though in principle eating your own dogfood is wise, of course), and halted development on a couple of sites I was working on using Buddypress. I’m going to continue holding off to see what happens and I’m not ready to heave that sigh of relief quite yet, but I’ll continue to come back once in a while to see what’s up.

Like I did back then, I still think BP’s got massive potential, and I did my best when I was engaged to put time in helping BP get better. I’d love to get involved again, if I had renewed confidence in the way things were going in terms of user experience and UI. We’ll see, I guess.

Awesome!

Can you share the code for doing this: “gives it a public discussion group. It passes over a plugins’ information like ratings and statistics, gives it its own dedicated support forum where you can assign administrators and moderators, and comes with a built in donate link so people can drop a few bucks in your pocket to show their appreciation.” ?

There will be a 1.2.6 which is hopefully the last bugfix release in the 1.2 branch. 1.3 will follow a few months after, by the end of the year for sure.

Don’t kill me for asking this, any ETA for BP 1.3?
Since the BP_Avatar-not-showing-WP_Blogs-Outofthebox problem is still persisting it may be worth the wait for another one or two weeks.

Cheers Team BP!
