You write too much
Still not sure quite what you want to do.
First of all, you need to install BuddyPress. On first glance at your site, it doesn’t look like you’ve installed it at all.
Second of all, since you’re using a different theme, once you’ve installed BP, you’ll need to use the BP Template [...]

It’s hard to debug from a screenshot, Erich.
Can you pass on a URL?
If not, send it via PM and I’ll check it out.
Like I mentioned in the ticket, it’s a theme issue. I’m 100% sure the issue doesn’t exist if you’re using the default theme.

Child theme! Child theme! Child theme!
Copy over /bp-themes/bp-default/header.php to your child theme and modify the nav tabs to open in a new window.
What’s a child theme you may ask?

I haven’t tried my mod site-wide on WPMU because it was only needed on the BP community-side. You can give it a try though.
If you’re not using WPMU, you should be okay.

Instead of modifying all the BP templates, you could try the Registered Users Only 2 plugin:

I’ve made a few mods to that plugin to better support BP here:

Try this:
.activity-list li.mini {margin-left:-2em;}
Adjust the margin-left to your needs.

The easiest way off the top is to apply a filter to ’bp_core_get_root_domain’ to remove the /folder/ subdirectory.
There’s probably another way though.

I kind of figured that, but it sounds like you’ve got a handle on it!
I guess my next question is would it be possible to add a subnav item to ”My Favorites” for bbPress topics? Just to avoid another nav item.

It’s not compatible with 1.1 either.

Re: bbPress favorites. Sounds cool!
Would this hook into the existing BP ”Favorites” system?

The answer to your Q is yes.

That plugin is not compatible with BP 1.2.

Copy /bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php to your child theme.
Remove the login block and you should be good to go.

@toddfarmer
A few people have asked for this; this plugin doesn’t work for blog comments
I’ll be releasing a separate plugin for that late this week as I don’t want to bundle it with the oEmbed BP plugin.

Nice work!
I’ve only tried the AJAXed quote so far, but it works as advertised.
A suggestion for AJAXed quote, perhaps add a link to the post that’s mentioned for the ”said” text.
Also couldn’t BBcode be enabled across all components and not just the forums? I had a similar port of _ck_’s BBcode plugin doing this.

There’s no admin feature to change the text of the activation email, but you can apply a filter to it.
Put this in your theme’s functions.php:
function my_activation_email($message) {
$message = str_replace('Thanks for registering! To complete the activation of your account please click the following link:','My message is the best message ever.

Really it is.

So I guess you should [...]

I’m going to let you try this on your own
Don’t worry! I’ll give you some hints.
Create a function like the above and then find the appropriate BP action to hook your function to.
Look in /buddypress/bp-activity.php. Do a search for ”do_action”.
If you want more hints, the BP actions are:
- bp_activity_posted_update<br [...]
