Re: # of registered members display
Since the number of members on your BP site is the same as the number of users of your WPMU site, you would use a WPMU function.
I have not tested this, but you should be able to do something like this:
<?php if ( bp_has_site_members() ) :
$members_of_site = get_user_count();
echo 'My awesome site has ' . $members_of_site . ' members';
else:
echo 'No members found';
endif;
?>
Just change the message to whatever you want and wrap it in some CSS, and you should be good to go.
