The compression quality is actually controlled by WordPress but we occasionally receive feedback such as this, which makes me think that there’s some server dependency or configuration setting that varies from server-to-server. IIRC, it defaults to 90% image quality.
In the upcoming BuddyPress 1.6.2 release to coincide with WordPress 3.5 (i.e. very soon), we had to fix image cropping to work with WordPress 3.5, and I took the opportunity to set 100% image quality. Along with WordPress 3.5’s improvements to its media API, hopefully this problem will fix itself.
As you might be able to tell, this doubles the number of database queries for a particular forum view; we’ve ran into similar do-we-don’t-we decisions while adding things to bbPress 1 forums in BuddyPress in the past.
If you’re not already, I suggest migrating to bbPress 2, and I would recommend asking on the bbPress website to see if anyone knows how to start. I haven’t done it myself before, but I do know this is much easier to do in bbPress 2 than bbPress 1.
(bbPress 1 is the old version of bbPress that comes bundled with BuddyPress. We’re phasing it out).
This rings a bell as a long standing bug or “feature”; I’ve had a quick look at our bug list but can’t find a ticket. Please could you create a bug report on http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org — you can use your username and password from this site — and we’ll see if we can fix it for BuddyPress 1.7.
There is a fix for this coming out in BuddyPress 1.6.2 (probably tomorrow – the 5th December). Check out https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4523 for details
That’s encrypted code, and usually it’s proof of a hack. That code looks like this: http://cl.ly/image/1s3B063f091i
It’s extremely bad practice for many reasons: obsfucated code, advertising links. I’d recommend you just get a new theme from https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/, and tell the developers of your current theme that they suck.
Interesting. I wonder why $_GET is empty, as it’s a PHP super global. When you click on your link, does the web browser redirect? i.e. is the ?key= actually on the URL?
Beyond that; what sort of server do you have? Any particular firewall or custom redirects or proxies?
The problem with the activation email link not working is known, but I don’t think the core team have ever been able to recreate it, so we’ve not been able to fix it. The relevant logic starts in bp_core_screen_activation().
@raymade, please would you start a new topic. This one’s pretty old, and the fix for your problem might be different from the fix that aces linked to, 9 months ago. Be sure to include details of what versions of WordPress you’re running, what you expect should happen, and what’s actually happening. Thanks!
@nickzee If you’ve still got a Page called “Forums”, delete it. It’s not required and confuses bbPress.
/members/admin/forums/ shows a filtered view of the forums for that specific user. We use bbPress 2 on this site, so my list of forum topics that I’ve started are listed on my profile, https://buddypress.org/community/members/djpaul/forums/
@beingblissful Hi, I don’t think many people saw your message, since you posted in the middle of someone else’s thread. It might be a good idea to start your own topic, and let us know what you’re having trouble with.
