You can check the time stamps of the emails to get an idea of when the mailsender sent them. That might give you a better idea if it is your mailsender on the server, or something else delaying the emails.

The email delay could be your mailsender, it could be the receiver, or anything in between. Most of the time email is relatively instant, except the times when it isn’t.

I’m assuming atwebpages.com may be a free host, and they may not let you increase the php memory limit any more. You may need to look into another host, or disabling some plugins.

The theme I’m using had Nivo baked in, and it was interfering with other jquery functions as well. I ripped all references to Nivo out of my theme, and also removed the redundant call to load jquery, especially given it was loading […]

Theme My Login can do this, but you said preferably not a plugin. I don’t know another way to do it personally, but someone else may.

Also, are you expecting to see a nav menu option for Register? I don’t think you’ll get one by default, but the Login page should have a link to the Register page.

Not a problem. We all overlook things.

Drupal does have comparable social networking tools and is worth considering. It is more of a “proper CMS”, but also considerably more difficult to configure properly.

I’d recommend against Joomla if for no other reason […]

I don’t believe there are many options for it. But under the Buddypress menu you should see components, and you can turn the forums on and off from there.

Both BP 1.2.9 and BP 1.5-beta-1 come with bbPress integrated. And both support pointing to an external bbPress install.

Are you having an issue that is leading you to believe that bbPress isn’t there?

@4ella you have the Buddypress plugin folder named 1.5-beta-1. Rename that folder to Buddypress.

1.5 isn’t even released yet. Many plugins will need to be updated, but you can’t really expect people to update those plugins until they’ve had a time to test against 1.5 for compatibility.

It doesn’t look like permalinks aren’t working correctly.

Did you change your permalinks setting as well as using the .htaccess settings aces recommended?

You may need to copy over some files from bp-default theme to your theme to make things fully work properly. From trunk you probably want to copy over:

buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity
buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/blogs […]

Do you have Buddypress 1.2.9 uploaded at the moment, or Trunk (1.5)? Because this should be fixed in Trunk.

So we’re making progress. That’s good. Which error are you seeing now?
