The problem is that the “bp_group_description_excerpt” funtion outputs the text wrapped up in a tag. This is really annoying and I believe that functions should only call…[Read more]

Also I call all the JS scripts from the footer.php, not the header. So I just had to add the call for the tipsy plugin (the code […]

I actually thought about that, because when I had to implement the effect on a site that used the who’s online widget, I had to add the title attribute into the “bb-core-widgets.php”, […]

What are the diffrences between the two?
Also, if you implement teh following on a running BP site, aren’t the members going to be troubled by that? Friends won’t convert automatically into followers, do they?

Got troubled at the beginning, especially for the screening of the topics. Otherwise, I had too much on my plate.

Only I got a function for that. Thanks for pointing that out, anyway. I thought you were talking about something else. Otherwise, because I did implement the effect on another site for someone, and run into conflicts with other js libraries, I decided […]

I got a problem when checking the “To Facebook” option in Forums (Create topic, Add a reply).

It actually prints #FACEBOOK in the topic title and/or in the replies for a topic.
Is this a known issue?
And is it fixable?

Settings were fine. The characters problem seems to be gone. And since I deactivated the SI Captcha, the slowness too. Except for the homepage, which displays the activity stream. It actually do render fast, but it the loading seems to keep going endelessly, if you know what I mean. Like “something”, […]

I deactivated and it looks lke speed is back to normal. I need to check this deeper and make sure it actually IS this.

The site is always extremely slow. Both backend and front end.

I obviously suspect some hack attack here. I got LOTS of spam registration the last days. I deleted one fake member after the other. Than installed SI Captcha, […]
