“Neither Facebook, Twitter or Google+ allow yo to edit activity/ status updates. Seems like it’s the normal on the interwebs.”

Facebook does let you edit now.

Even if they didn’t, is that a good reason to not allow it on buddypress? Facebook do lots of things that don’t follow the “golden rule”.

I am also looking for this.

Thanks.

The big question is: Why not?!

This is a little silly.

With groups set up, you could effectively replace old school “forums” with the more dynamic “groups”.

You can just message from your profile, or to a group. It turns the entire site into an extendable forum. All that’s missing is a better text editor.
This would simplify things a great deal. Right now, you can start a conversation in the forum; in a group; or just with a message from the profile. These are not all that integrated. Way too easy to get lost, or lose related content. It’s a mess.

I know with the new updates, bbpress and BuddyPress are friends, and you can (in theory) feed your group forums into the site wide forum. But… why have a site wide forum when you can just message to groups?

I’ve had to create a page on the site just to explain to people what this Groups vs Forums stuff is about. Think about it from their perspective. What the hell is a “group”. This really smacks of developer centric thinking dominating user centric thinking.

But I’m getting a fatal error, and so are other people (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bp-tinymce-fatal-error?replies=3#post-4107216)
