Devoted to people who own/like Saint Bernard / Labrador Retriever mixed breed dogs. Labranard is a term I came across on some other site a couple years ago and since I own a “Labranard” I figured there might be other people interested. No […]

Can the same be done with the “X time ago” text in the Support topics main index (http://buddypress.org/support/topics/)?

Having to scroll back to the top is annoying and I’m lazy. 🙂

The BP interface should be designed for the end user. This keys off my peeve that BP is marketing itself as enabling social networking “out of the box”. Yes, it can but not without some tweaking for each specific site application. And I’m not talking about simple template colour choices or layout modifications. If […]

What makes forums so great for collaboration? You’re confusing me now. You don’t see the benefit of forums yet you have basically created a forum on your site. Everyone has to think outside of the box because “forums” != bbPress. I’ve spent many many years on many different “forums”, all […]

You don’t use forums because you have basically replicated the forum concept in blog posts/comments. The only advantage I see of this setup (without looking in great detail) is the benefit of using the more robust WP commenting system. Fundamentally you…[Read more]

I’m not a community builder because there is really no such thing. As a site owner, I can only offer up tools that I think my site needs to help it become a community. Once a community forms, […]

What can you do with forums that you can’t do with blog posts + comments? I’ll wade in here (ugh, bad idea?) with one major difference between forums and blog posts.

I figured I would have to do it manually.

I have an old bbPress install and I’d like to import the forums/topics into BuddyPress. Is there any way to do this? I’d even settle for a solution that dumps everything into one group. One thing to […]

People have different needs and desires when it comes to connecting with other people. Fundamentally, connecting is the only thing we’re all trying to do in one way or another. Buddypress really is the kitchen sink. It […]

I’m still having a hard time navigating at the moment which is why I didn’t notice your other thread. That’s sort of a good thing because it’s making me very aware of how I need to make changes to my own BP project.

Is there any chance that we could see the code that pulls off some of this magic?

If you hit “Load More” a second time, it reloads the same set of updates.
