If you’re reading this post in a feed reader, it’s time to head on over to BuddyPress.org and take a look at our shiny new look.
This site has been built from the ground up using WordPress and BuddyPress and now also acts as a complete developer network.
We’ve got a new plugin repository, theme browser, developer landing page, not to mention developer groups, integrated forums and developer profiles.
One thing you’ll notice as you begin to use the new site is the deep integration of all features. If you log in once, you’re logged into everything – the forums, developer network, codex and site blog.
Your activity stream will also track everything you do here, and that includes forum posts, trac tickets, blog comments and codex changes. We’re tracking your every move!
The final release of BuddyPress is very close. We’re currently looking forward to the release of WordPress MU 2.7.1. After that you’ll see some changes to adapt BuddyPress to the new plugin update functionality and then 1.0 release.
Happy BuddyPress-ing.

Great work, solid design.
Too cool for me..
Awesome as ever 😀

I love it!
Pretty slick setup Andy.
I can tell lots of thought went into how all of this works together.
Now a proper theme for bbPress, and evrything is ok 😉
Nice looking design, who did it?
slick!
Wow! Very nice. Now I’m motivated to participate more in BuddyPress development since my activity is tracked via my Activity stream.
Great job, Andy…
Its impressive! This site is really fast!!!
Its much faster than testbp.org
It’s just wonderful! I’d love to see more themes. Te new theme of buddypress.org is awesome. Love it!
amazing
Well done Andy. I love the integration with wordpress.org accounts / activity as well. This bodes well for the future of the WP.org community.
Looks very very nice! It’s an exciting project 🙂
eeeeeeeeek… great news but the new layout breaks in IE8. here’s a screenshot…

i’ve noticed other buggy things in this new browser release, so hopefully it won’t affect BP too much =)
Really nice work Andy and everyone involved. One thing though, it seems logging into bp.org doesn’t log me into Trac. Is Trac the exception to the unified login?
I am just loving it. Its too cool man. Awesome buddypress skin
Truly beautiful and inspiring.
Great job Andy.
Nice work, much better!
I love you!
wow great rebuild, can’t wait till themes start coming up, i have installed BP on vitamovie.com and last few days users have started posting stuff, what they do complain about is that they have to come out of the buddypres interface to post on the blog, they want to stay in their profile interface and not have to leave it at all , no this seems “stupid” to since the whole point is having a wordpress site and all the great functionalities of it, but some just simply want to be able to post on the blog without touching anything in their backend dashboard, what you think Andy, a frontend to wordpress
I like the new site… is this a sneak peek of the new default BuddyPress theme?
Nice new design, really like this simple layout.
“White Space is Nice Space”
Really enjoying the new site Adny. Great job! 🙂
Fantastic job with the new theme. It really looks like a lot of time and thought went into this design.
Is the forum down?
great work guys. now if i could just have a copy of this theme for myself …
this is really great… i have been designing similar to this so might borrow a few ideas… cheers.. well done
Looks great… I think the side menus being moved to the top is beautiful… we will have to make that change at some point in time… even though the side menus work well, the top menus work better… great job Andy.
It looks pretty–nice clean layout. However, I grew accustomed to the old profile. It was pretty easy to see the whole layout of every users profile. I didn’t like the former layout, however I see the practicality of it now. Putting the user sidebars to the left kept user information above the fold, but now with the new layout you are pushing data below the fold. This is especially cumbersome for laptop users, which is the majority in today’s market–or at least is headed that way. Trust me when I say I am not hating, just giving constructive feedback. I love the work you have done 🙂
Also, can you give some kind of estimated finish date? If not that’s cool! Peace…
I love the new look. It is very nice. Can’t wait for 2.7.1 and next BP release. BP rocks.
Wow!! this looks so good!! I really like the design
Great site! Great project!
I wish you good luck!
Hi – I have been working on a new social network @ mekudas.com and I hit a snag where member’s blogs are not found after creation. Probably minor…..can any one point me in the right direction…. Thanks in Advance 🙂 Brian
Still no suitable bbPress theme available, it’s a shame! 😛
Yay, thats great. Im really eager to see the new buddypress release 😛
/K
the new layout breaks in Firefox/3.1b3 mac
Link to my profile would be cool lol…
I enjoy using buddypress so far!
The installation was very easy, DNS set up for sub domains was an issue. The whole setting wild card thing didn’t sit right with me. Even after changing the turbocelf.conf any new domains added will erase all edits.
I went with the sub directory but I’m sure for SEO I should have went with the sub directories.
Overall the SEO is poor! Issues with title tags, description tags are incorrect or poorly written.
The software is brilliant! Great work and I’ll be sticking around for some time if it’s ok with you… lol
Thanks for sharing buddypress!
like a five star hotel! 😀
I WANT this theme!!! Please let me have it. It is sex on the screen!!!! Well…maybe not that good, but you get my enthusiasm;)
This theme is friggen awesome HIGH FIVE
Any idea on a rough time frame for a 1.0 release or any other RC releases before hand?
Great work though. We had the new theme on laptops at an exhibition the other day and everyone (4000+ people pre registered over 4 days), and I mean everyone commented that its “easier to use than Facebook”.
Its really an awesome addition. Having a social network is really easy now.

I need a date for v1 of buddpress! Please! When it will be finished and ready to download and use it? Thanks! All this is really awesome! (sorry for my bad english)
good jobs guys! hope to see the album plugin asap – so you’ll became the ultimate social network developers.
After I found this site …I felt like I was just looking for this solution…I just spend 7 days on WordPress MU site to get this site…So my advice promte this site …because this is awosome project and my request please dont close this project…thanks again to start over the project again
Glad to see the new site; I’ve been following BuddyPress’ progress for a while now. One thing you need: a BuddyPress favicon! 🙂
