@mikepratt Thought I might answer a few of your questions.
Your correct when you say that Bp-Album and Bp-Media are unrelated, the two are completely different.
In regards to version numbers, me and foxly […]

@modemlooper I’m interested to seeing a mobile uploader, haven’t seen that before. Also, would be great to see more competition.

mikehenrysr posted an update:@mikepratt Mike, I have a BuddyPress site for people in the leadership development space and I’d love to allow the premium members the ability to import their RSS feed into the activity stream much like you’re doing on BP-Tricks. Do you have this feature ready as a plugin yet?

techguy posted an update:@mikepratt Hey, I heard you mention in your WordCamp presentation that you put text at the bottom of your PM message emails so people knew to respond on the site and not to the email itself. I’d love to get the text you’ve found to be effective and did you use Welcome Pack or some plugin like that to make it happen?

Kenneth Henderson posted an update:@mikepratt I would like to talk to you about some of the ways you organized groups on BugleNotes. I have a site that needs some better group organization and would like to use some of the techniques you have.

Jeff Sayre posted a new activity comment:BuddyCamp is still a kernel of an idea. It was something @mikepratt and I were working on about a year ago. Our initial idea was to hold the first one in Chicago as at the time it was convenient to the both of us. No other plans are in the works at this time.

@andy could you please forward all recent @mentions to @apeatling @mikepratt It is surprising the amount of talent available , and that all appear to have been around the block a few times on a sidenote and to add a little levity to the thread Jeff Sayre wrote a interesting little post on his blog [...] -
@mikepratt Well, I built my first website in 1994… shortly after Netscape 0.9 beta was released… but I’m still a whining code monkey some days

ThePremiumPress posted an update:@mikepratt Just wanted to say thanks for the BuddyPress presentation you recently aired – it was very inspiring, and we even used it as our own training video prior to our presentation on Geo-Tagging with BuddyPress which we presented at WordCamp Malaysia last month:
Looking forward to seeing you in action again!

Dwenaus posted on the forum topic can we clean up the Extend tab at buddypress.org so that only 'real' buddypress plugins show up. in the group Requests & Feedback:@mikepratt @jeffsayre @djpaul and others, I’m glad a conversation got started here. It sure would be good to hear from the powers-that-be about this. I especially like the suggestion about using a new extension such as bp-extension that makes it clear that this is an extension of BuddyPress rather than compatible. Heck, maybe even introduce a…[Read more]

Brajesh Singh posted on the forum topic Filter site_url() to always point to main blog/site (Help request) in the group How-To and Troubleshooting:@stwc
@mikepratt In that case, you will have to cap on “bp_core_get_root_domain”, as this is what used by the userlink. add_filter("bp_core_get_root_domain","my_site_url");//just removing the effect of BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG on the urlsThis will do things like change all the references of sub blog used by buddypress to point to main site not the…[Read more]
