rossagrant posted on the forum topic When you delete a member manually do all of their forum posts get deleted? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 6 months ago

@DJPaul @pcwriter thanks for the input guys. Deleting a member through the WP dashboard most certainly DOESN’T delete any of their BP entries. Their username is deleted from the member’s list and their avatar etc goes, but from what I see all of their forum posts remain, without a username and a random avatar associated with the […]

rossagrant posted on the forum topic When you delete a member manually do all of their forum posts get deleted? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 6 months ago

I mean, if I deleted a member of my site myself, through the backend, would all of the members content get deleted too, including activity stream items and their forum posts. I deleted a test account that’s all and all of the test forum posts stayed behind, attributed by a random avatar. I would expect […]

On my install, I just deleted someone and now there forum posts all have a random avatar next to them. If they have to stay, the avatar should say, ‘user Deleted’ or something to stop it confusing people. Can they not all be deleted somehow? If I mark them as a spammer first then delete […]

rossagrant posted on the forum topic Can Achievements do this? (Very simple forum posts reward scheme) in the group Achievements: 13 years, 6 months ago

Nice work there. That looks pretty cool. I dropped paul an email last night and he said he would build in the points for forum posts feature into a release sometime next week! can’t wait as I think it will really up participation in the forums if people have something to gain from posting!

rossagrant started the forum topic Can Achievements do this? (Very simple forum posts reward scheme) in the group Achievements: 13 years, 6 months ago

Hi Paul, It’s a really simple concept I have but need to see if it can be achieved. I basically need members to be rewarded 1 point per forum reply/ topic creation. If they reach 1000 points they get a FREE 3 month subscription extention or something similar. Can Achievements do this easily and if […]

rossagrant posted on the forum topic Why does it show (1) next to the user role ’Member’ in the dashboard after setting up BP Forum in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 6 months ago

It’s an S2Member thing, no worries! 🙂

rossagrant started the forum topic Why does it show (1) next to the user role ’Member’ in the dashboard after setting up BP Forum in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 6 months ago

I’m just curious. In BP installations if you go into the backend and go to the ‘Users’ it will show the user roles and how many of your members apply to each category in brackets next to it. Mine shows ‘Members’ and then a 1 next to it in brackets. You can click to see […]

Great stuff! I’ve emailed the plugin author to see if it’s something he can add! I’ll keep you posted!

@Aces Nice one! Installed Si Captcha and it works a treat. Is there any way to put a note to users under the CAPTCHA actually what it is and why they have to type in the code? I know it’s so basic but for some users who haven’t seen them before it’s always nice to have […]

rossagrant started the forum topic Best Plugin To Stop Spam Sign – Ups For A Single Install BP Site? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 6 months ago

Hi guys, I’ve seen something called Buddypress Humanity which adds a security question to the BP registration but I was just wondering if there were any other neat ways to combat spam sign ups?

Thanks 🙂

rossagrant started the forum topic How best to make some Premium Groups & Forums with S2Member in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 7 months ago

Hi guys, Just wanted some info off those who may run premium groups and forums on their site alongside free ones. I use S2Member to run a member site. So far all groups & forums are free but I want some premium ones. This would mean they would be off limits to free members and […]

rossagrant posted on the forum topic Replies In The Activity Stream. Are They Confusing To Members? in the group Miscellaneous: 13 years, 8 months ago

@mercime you legend! Haha, didn’t even know that option existed! I think that should be set by default. Make it so much more straight forward!

Thank you.

rossagrant started the forum topic Replies In The Activity Stream. Are They Confusing To Members? in the group Miscellaneous: 13 years, 8 months ago

Hi guys, I’ve never really thought before but if someone posts a new forum topic and it appears in the activity stream they can hit reply to reply to that thread. The thing is though they are only replying IN THE ACTIVITY stream and not in the actual thread. Do you think this is confusing […]

rossagrant posted on the forum topic Speeding up buddypress in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 8 months ago

What kind of hosting is everybody using here? I’m just about to launch and expect around 30 concurrent users. I’ve gone for a semi dedicated option but am interested in what others use and where they see slowdown.

rossagrant started the forum topic Avatar issue one server and not another. Is it the hosting? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 8 months ago

Hi guys, I’m testing out different hosts before I take my site live in about 3 weeks. I’ve built it on bog standard £3 a month shared hosting but to be honest the site has been super responsive with no issues. I got some new hosting yesterday and have rebuilt my site on it. It’s […]

rossagrant started the forum topic Going To Try A Caching Plugin. WP Super Cache or W3 Total cache? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 8 months ago

Anyone got any experience with these 2 plugins and BP?

My host is going to install and configure it I think but is it something I want to be doing and what are the pitfalls?

Would love to hear comparisons on the 2 options.
Thanks 🙂

rossagrant posted on the forum topic Anyone host with VPS.net? Need Cloud hosting in the UK in the group Miscellaneous: 13 years, 8 months ago

Thanks guys! It seems like a minefield out there!

Anyone heard of TSO host? Stumbled across them too in the UK but their cloud hosting plans look far too cheap to be that good? £20 a month they start at.

rossagrant posted on the forum topic Anyone host with VPS.net? Need Cloud hosting in the UK in the group Miscellaneous: 13 years, 8 months ago

Wow, thanks for the heads up guys. Won’t be going down that route.

@pisanojm will check out provps.com now.

Would love to hear from other’s who already host in the UK on a decent, reliable cloud.

rossagrant started the forum topic Anyone host with VPS.net? Need Cloud hosting in the UK in the group Miscellaneous: 13 years, 8 months ago

Hi guys.

launching a new site in 3 weeks. I quite fancy trying out cloud hosting that is flexible and affordable. Would probably need to be managed as I’m clueless but wondered if VPS.net were good. I have heard some good stuff about them but open to hearing alternatives.

Cheers 🙂
