"It's the activity stream, stupid." I have been following BuddyPress almost since its inception. I love the "DIY" feel and accessibility that aligns it so well with WordPress. I thoroughly report bugs whenever I can. I like the BP Forums (bbPress) core component, and have created a few plugins for BP Forums, including one "Move Topic" plugin already available in the WP Plugin Repository, and some "new posts since last visit" that I haven't gotten around to uploading yet (you can find the code by searching these forums, or bug me to upload it to wordpress.org).

jordashtalon posted on the forum topic [New Plugin] BuddyPress Group Forums - Move Topic in the group Creating & Extending:Awesome plugin! I was wondering, is there any update on the Merge and Split options? I’ll probably could use options like that.
Anyway thanks for the plugin so far!

r-a-y posted on the forum topic Bug or not?? bp_get_forum_topic_count causing massive memory requirements and timeouts in the group How-To and Troubleshooting:@3sixty – So you tried commenting out the do_action line for the bp_forums_total_topic_count() function? And it didn’t do anything?
You can try replacing the bp_forums_total_topic_count() function in /bp-forums.php with this:
See if the memory problems occur with my mod.

David Lewis posted on the forum topic Forum Reply Disconnected in the group How-To and Troubleshooting:@3sixty: Yes… it already exists… but it’s confusing, unintuitive and inconsistent. Users don’t understand the difference between updates and forum postings in the activity stream. They don’t understand the difference between replying in the activity stream and replying in the thread. Any why should they? Reply means reply. Period. The way it…[Read more]

@ruffrazor @twob @erich73 @snark @3sixty Here’s how to set the “Forum” tab as the default in groups: I took Boone’s former code and tweaked it with a little URI trickery! Requires no core hacks and complicated function duplication
Paste the following in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php http://pastebin.com/j3n17CVe (you’ll probably need to…[Read more] -

Peterverkooijen posted on the forum topic The BuddyPress UI Design and conceptual approach to Social Networking in the group Miscellaneous:@3sixty (“The irony of “BuddyPress shouldn’t be about forums”, and “if you want a forum, don’t use BP” and “bbPress is a parasite in BP…” is that the FORUM is the center point of activity here on buddypress.org”) There’s nothing ironic about that. Traditional forums are very useful, but if you want a traditional forum you [...]

Hans-Juergen Philippi posted on the forum topic group membership: double membership bug? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting:@3sixty: I experienced exactly the same misbehaviour in my blog = invitation sent, membership requested by the blog member, confirmed twice somehow and… boing, 2 memberships of the same member in a single group. Is it still there in your blog or could you fix it? I wonder if it was sufficient to simply delete the [...]

r-a-y posted on the forum topic This is just a test post to determine if the awesome new activity permalinks are broken by long topi in the group How-To and Troubleshooting:
Ahh okay, you got me! @3sixty!
Nice find again! The activity permalinks for forum posts are indeed truncated, me thinks this could be a case of limiting hacking attempts via long URLs.

Jeff Sayre posted an update:@3sixty Ah, I was trying to remember that plugin. I think it might be necessary, but you should first ask @apeatling
Indeed it is – BP just needs to be clearer on the UI that the box is a public post box (not private message)
