I too have this and have used various themes to check it out. Some high end theme developers are removing the link from the menus because it always comes up empty.
If anyone fancies a real challenge, what I should like to do is make a conditional that says:
If anyone does not have their own avatar, and if they do not have a gravatar, use this image.
Reason being, the result of the standard preference for gravatar if the user has none is the hideously dominant blue gravatar logo. Perhaps I should just replace that default graphic somehow, unless it too is called from gravatar.

What I really need, quite obviously, is a personal pluggin, an additional memory module, a couple of logic enhancers and perhaps an oversight widget.
Thank you.
Yes, but I would expect to see it also as an option from the other menu or header bar, so will users I suspect. Is that not right? If this is the only way to get to that function it seems a very fragmented approach to the interface.
The other problem is that when using the other theme the sign up does not create a new user, but with the standard theme it seems ok.
I don’t mean to hijack this conversation and of course will start a new thread if preferred but I have exactly the same issue. Logging in as admin or as user makes no difference. The install is the latest version of both BP and WP (its a fresh install on a test address). The site is at artsnet.co. The theme is called Traject, a fairly complex set up, but the adapted BP files seem to be OK. There are no plugins working except the WPMU updates.
Not sure there’s much of a gap between their shared servers and vps though. They seem to have found a way to open things up pretty wide on a shared basis. Obviously by taking the limits off in terms of bandwidth, storage and domains they are hoping to get people building big farms, knowing that the hastle of moving them all might give them a more stable user-base. But, if their quality continues to be this good, with fast responses to tickets from people who are actually willing to get involved and have real expertise… well, enough for now certainly.
I hesitated for exactly that reason, for several months, to go searching and looking for conflicting stories. Found none. They seem to have a similarly liberal approach to processor cycles, which would fit, and only deal with problems by discussion on a case by case basis. So far enormously impressed. In fact the only thing I think they could offer that would make them pretty well unbeatable would be their own payment processing system that could get us out of the stranglehold of paypal and the big company processes.
As to cheapness, the full reseller package is certainly modestly priced, but offers all the freedoms I have been locked out of by my previous host. I have yet to crack the integration of the hosting interface with my main site so that my company brands the experience from start to finish though.. too busy with other sites.
OK Heart living up to their rep. Responded to ticket in a few minutes. Just in case this helps anyone else. An addition memory command was necessary in the .htaccess file to increase the apache server memory limit.
Just moving all my sites over to http://www.heartinternet.co.uk. So far they are little short of amazing and as far as I know allow all sorts of changes to php handing and recommend doing so. There are no limits set on anything much, which was why I chose them. I’ll raise a ticket with them just to check.
