rss feeds from Blogger don’t like being chopped up into $feed_item.

the solution was to use the feed provided at http://blogurl.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss. Other ones don’t work.

When I add a feed, that feed’s earliest post appears in the group with a datestamp of over 40 years ago. No subsequent posts are pulled into the group or the activity stream. Anyone have any idea what’s going on? Thanks…[Read more]

I’m a buddypress newbie so please excuse me if this question is inappropriate. I read about your ‘spambusher’ script with interest and wondered if you would care to share the code?

Not generating badges for other SN sites (as buddypress-badge does), but something to label users with status in the community, a bit like scout badges…

User avatars upload fine – it’s just the groups that have trouble. The crop feature appears ok but always returns the error ‘there was a problem cropping your image’ and we’re left with the default […]

Thanks very much!

Your advice led me here:

which helped clear up the finer points. And what that mysterious thing I kept ignorning, ‘I18n’, means… 😉
