“Post something to xxx”
This actually should be described more clearly. It is ambiguous whether you are posting something to them privately or publicly (until you try it out).

“Can some elightened soul explain to us simple mortals how can we achieve sitewide search …”
+5… it is awesome!

woop! updates:

1. I changed the milestone for your bug report to 1.2.3 and added a link back to this thread so the rationale can be seen
2. JJJ has patched the ‘promiscuous’ bug already!!!! I have not had a free moment to test yet: https://trac.buddypress.org/attachment/ticket/2343/forum_id_check.patch

Please, please re-enable Forum Index. I used to be able to check in many times per day and automatically figure out what discussions were new/updated. Now the site seems very balkanized and hard to follow. The amount of traffic on buddypress.org/forums (now /community) is still low enough that a “snapshot” view of forum topics makes sense. […]

OK, that trac ticket looks well cared-for. However, I agree that one should be a 1.2.4 milestone item rather than 1.3… hidden and private groups really should not be used without that fix. Will it moved up to 1.2.4?

“Andy left on the Activity stream Reply function for forum posts which which, by design, bifurcate the support conversations due to those users who live more in the Activity stream than Groups” I agree activity stream replies need to be shut off here… and this is one for which there is an easy fix already […]

yikes…. cross-posting might become an unintended consequence of the new site design. On the old Forum setup, there was no reason to cross-post, since the Forum Index made it easy to catch up with all new forum posts at a glance.

“I think it will but that raises the question that should the forum moderators move any threads in the wrong place? I think we should. Once, of course, someone creates that functionality”

This functionality exists. I wrote a plugin that allows you to move topic threads.…[Read more]

I think what you’re saying is that, for example, in Forum posts: if you’re a logged in member of a private/hidden group, you should see private/hidden posts in the overall Forum Index, and obviously, nonmembers would see the same Index minus the private posts. I agree that this seems like it should be the logical […]

“I noticed that the drop down list contained a couple of group names that I thought I had edited in the past. I had created 2 groups in the past with an extra word in the title that I did not want. I had edited these successfully but your plugin had picked up their original […]
