Ran into some issue and had to go vanilla WP at the moment unitl I get more time. I just wanted to edit the OP but I can’t .
Xevo Thanks. you’re right I didnt think of that. OK I have to see what I can do. still a work in progress. /waves
Well, I’ll be honest and say if I have to register just to browse… I move on to the next site. Maybe give a little more info on the homepage to peek a potential members interest. Like Jumpmuz asked “what’s the website about?”
Is it possible to add the links content to the activity stream instead of a text link back to the links page only, the thumbnail and all? This way when I post a new link it’s visible in both places. Just wondering.
Oh I did not know that. The about page was already created with the WP install by default.
You need to update the homepage in the WP Admin Settings this is exactly what I did for my BuddyPress site http://ipadalicious.com. Login into your admin area: Go to settings and Click on reading – and under Front page displays page. Then:
1. Select A static page (select below)
2. Then select Activity Stream in the Front page: drop down list
3. Then click save changes and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps.
…And yet another vote 
+1 Looking for this as well along with adding tags to Activity Stream someday. Thanks for your efforts.
This is what I thought as well. I’m looking for the same as testbp.org. Strange I will try it again. Thank r-a-y
** OK it’s working maybe I missed a step. My test user is only a Subscriber and is able to post to the AS.**
