To see what can be done in an evening with BuddyBuilder check out my site which is still under construction.
I have to be honest, I’ve looked at all of the themes available for BuddyPress, and BuddyBuilder is IMO superior to all of them. The amount of creativity it allows you is staggering. It makes sense to call it a theme framework, because it is really something you can build upon without no coding knowledge whatsoever.
yes, i tried a fresh reinstall, with still no luck. the buddypress user home base does not seem to be creating users. i have no idea why the subdomain lookup would be so slow.
