@thekmen “As for editing the BuddyPress widgets, maybe you should open a trac ticket to have title=” added to the image hrefs in bb-core-widgets.php”.

Would it make sense to use both, friendship AND following?
What are the diffrences between the two?

@Travel-Junkie I do actually include, as a habit, the jQuery library that way. Only I got a function for that. Thanks for pointing that out, anyway. I thought you were talking about something else.

Version 1.0.3
I got a problem when checking the “To Facebook” option in Forums (Create topic, Add a reply).It actually prints #FACEBOOK in the topic title and/or in the replies for a topic.

@thelandman Thanks for your reply. Settings were fine. The characters problem seems to be gone. And since I deactivated the SI Captcha, the slowness too. Except for the homepage, which displays the activity stream. It actually do render fast, but it the loading seems to keep going endelessly, if you know what I mean. Like “something”, [...]

I suspect it is the SI Captcha plugin, genereting the slowness. I deactivated and it looks lke speed is back to normal. I need to check this deeper and make sure it actually IS this.

The website is http://cureuphoria.com All of a sudden yesterday, the site got killing slow and special characters got teh funny symbols (that is in the Admin too). I obviously suspect some hack attack here. I got LOTS of spam registration the last days. I deleted one fake member after the other. Than installed SI Captcha, [...]
