I like this thread, so I’m going to check back on it in 3 hours. If you haven’t cleaned it up yourselves, I’ll do it for you.
And… if I wasn’t posting this from the Apple store, I’d probably have locked it. Haha!

Have you gone through the bbPress installation process in your wp-admin yet?

John James Jacoby posted a reply on the forum topic wp-signup.php redirects to registration-slug – WHY???:   1 week ago

This problem comes from the bp_has_custom_signup_page function.
It checks to see if your theme can locate_template( array( 'register.php' ), false ) or locate_template( array( '/registration/register.php' ), false ) )
Since your child theme has neither of those files, naturally it will return false and give you wp-signup.php as the link. To counter this, BuddyPress attempts to be [...]

@darbymanning It looks like you’re using an old BuddyPress theme, with bits and pieces of theme in the wrong spot. Maybe try reuploading BuddyPress and the bp-default theme and try again?
@nathankisanski BuddyPress by default doesn’t use your displayname for the URL, rather it uses either your nicename or login (I forget which at the moment [...]

Check out http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1970 and see if those fixes help?
I know there are lots of different server setups and installation types we’re trying to account for, so it’s possible that something could need adjusting.

John James Jacoby posted a reply on the forum topic Plugin Devs Please Read:   2 weeks, 6 days ago

A few other actions were added in 1.2 to help plugin authors hook into the correct places within BuddyPress.
bp_setup_globals
bp_setup_nav
bp_setup_root_components
bp_setup_widgets
The intent of those hooks for plugin authors, is to not load your code before BuddyPress does, potentially putting your navigation menus or global component setups out of alignment with BuddyPress. Typical WordPress priority rules apply, so [...]

Can someone file a ticket on this if you haven’t already. This is a bug that will need to be addressed pretty quickly.

http://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-core/bp-core-activation.php#L79
There are two ways for this email to still get sent:
1.) Your active theme does not have either /register.php or /registration/register.php in it.
2.) You are an admin that has just added a user to your site.
If either of those things are true, the email will get sent out.

John James Jacoby posted a reply on the forum topic can't install BP on WPMU error on line 19 :S:   3 weeks, 6 days ago

It sounds to me like the upgrade (or FTP) didn’t add and/or replace all of the included files.
Can you BACKUP and completely remove the entire plugins/buddypress directory from your installation, and install a fresh copy of 1.2?

John James Jacoby posted a reply on the forum topic WPMU very slow in local:   4 weeks ago

Have you tried turning your internet connection off completely?
I had this issue as a result of the anti-virus and firewall I was running at the time. Turned off the firewall and anti-virus, and all was well. I’m sure there’s a better solution, but that did it for me.

BuddyPress.org is the insider community. If you’re registered and paying attention, then you’re one of the cool kids.
There’s a few reasons why BuddyPress.org works and looks different than a usual BuddyPress installation does out of the box. I’ll do my best to explain them for you (and everyone else) but I can assure you, there’s [...]

This is going to need an update to work with 1.2 and the bp-default theme. The files have changed as well as the ajax makes the sort-order a little wonky.
An update for 1.2 is coming soon.
