You can check out and download older versions at https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/developers/

1.8 is at https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.8.zip

@kakilo How are you uploading profile images anyway? BP does not offer such a function by default.
(or are you talking about photos uploaded into activity stream?)

@hnla Your suggestion for custom changes is on the mark.

However, the correction suggested by @idavidson is really a “bugfix” that should be applied to the software being packaged and offered.

@asieger A rather basic question: Have you checked the Spam folders in your email accounts?

@bphelp 17 July and 1.8 is out. Hallelujah, and hope lives on for 1.9 around year-end or Jan/Feb 2014…

@hnla It is a good idea, but only works if it is institutional and tech-enabled. e.g. An area on this website dedicated to that pursuit that enables developers to bid on projects and “crowds” to “promise” money (via some sort of escrow or another, simpler system)…it is important to know both – what the developers need for the project, and what…[Read more]

@djpaul Don’t imagine they do. I do imagine that sometimes the demand can come from users as different from the usual “build it, and they will come” model.

@hnla As you have astutely noted, this is a plugin request, and hence I am hoping someone might release a plugin.

Anyone?

Mid July IS the schedule. 🙂

@bphelp 1.8 Beta 1 is out so there’s a real possibility that 1.8 might be released in mid-July as scheduled.

Faint ray of hope that 1.9 might come as early as Jan/Feb 2014 🙂

Fantastic

@sbrajesh Yup, I can see that use case. I meant the plugin is useless for this particular purpose.

As far as Friendship request throttling is concerned, I am about to release a plugin today which does allows site admins to limit the no. of requests sent per minute(or you can set say 30 requests per 60 mins, that flexibility lies with the site…

Thanks @bphelp

The plugin seems like a terrible idea. I mean some particular installation somewhere in the BuddyPress world might need it, but I don’t like the idea of limiting BP’s functionality (potentially thwarting the value of the online community) for everyone to try and stop a few bad apples. What number will you limit the friends to so…[Read more]

Doesn’t require any change in Akismet.

Akismet plugin will need a little change – it will need to tie reporting to role.

BuddyPress will need to incorporate the functionality of members/users flagging activity, the way users can report messages in software like phpBB.

Nope, flagging by members shouldnt be reported to Akismet directly. As mentioned above, it’s a two step process. Site/Group admin can’t be everywhere, so users should be able to flag items for their review. Site/Group admins should be the ones whose flags ultimately get reported to Akismet.
