The unread message count is stored for each recipient of a thread for quick access. I seem to remember that you ran into the truncation bug in the previous beta that would be causing this.
The quickest way is to zero out the “unread_count” field in “wp_bp_messages_recipients”.
There are no feature enhancements other than you can now edit a group avatar.
There have been over 140 bugs fixed in this version, you can see all the bugs fixed by clicking the link below. Every bug with the date back to Dec 15th has been fixed since beta 1.
Please check your logs, there is no such thing as a blank screen. You can also turn on error reporting in PHP. Once you know what’s wrong, it’s usually simple to diagnose.
If you are getting blank screens you need to check your logs to see the errors. The likely cause is that you are using functions that no longer exist.
If you can find out which functions are in question, it will be quite easy to fix. This is the problem with creating new themes before the default theme is final unfortunately. Once the theme is 1.0, you won’t run into these problems.
This is probably due to a bug where threads that get to a certain length cause problems in the DB. It was actually the field type for the field that stores message IDs. Long story short, if you update to beta 2, and try with new message threads, you should see the problem go away.
