i was able to get your first example to work

function add_banner() {
echo ‘this will be a banner’;
}
add_action( ‘bp_before_activity_loop’, ‘add_banner’ );

when i replaced activity_loop for directory_activity it didnt seem to do anything.

sorry for the newbie questions & thank you for your help so far
