Hiya, small problem, and maybe visual only – there is this. option for site-admins:

“Site Admin Only: update email subscription settings for ALL members to the default: Daily Digest. Warning: this is not […]

Am I ever happy you guys ran into this problem before and could locate it. Exact same issue for me, and changing body select to non-@-font-face fixes that. I have filed a bug report with Apple so they can educate […]

Found it. As per the discussion here:

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17239

dots in usernames are not allowed in WordPress 3.2.(1). I have changed that now […]

Hiya guys, I just noticed that usernames with dots don’t work anymore; the old trick from here https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1135 to insert

@ds123, the code needs to be inserted into the functions.php of your theme.

Cool, cool, cool. Thanks a million Deryk, this is great!

Andreas Karsten posted on the forum topic Question: how to receive updates, not original post? in the group BuddyPress Group Email Subscription: 13 years, 10 months ago

Installed it, and works without a glitch, but indeed it doesn’t help with my situation. When replying to an update in the activity stream, a notification is triggered that repeats the original post that is being replied to: User posted an update in the group: “Testing the updated notification system.” Ideally it would say: User […]

Hiya Deryk, many thanks for adding that feature! I am gonna install 2.8 in a moment and see how it plays out in our environment. I think the truncated version would be totally fine; it would give everyone a good enough hint at what is being replied to! Andreas

I have now hidden the reply-button with the same css-approach you use in the group-announce plugin. Not pretty because it hides the button for all single item views, but alas. Good enough!

Thank you Boone!

“It’s entirely workable. and in fact, some might find it better than threaded.” Not really, it’s too much contents — we had an online session with 10 people discussing for an hour, and the non-threaded, linear and then non-responsive format of the forums just creaked and cracked at all ends. But yes, we need to work […]

I let Boone answer for himself of course, but one quick question back: how do I not allow people to reply in the activity stream, and how do I then make it possible for people to properly respond in the forums? We allow the stream-reply because the forums don’t have a reply-function…

Hiya Deryk, I have discovered a tiny issue — when people click on view to look at an announcement, they are also given the possibility to reply in that single-activity-view. This has just happened to us… I had no idea it was possible and it took me a while to figure out how and why […]

I have a question related to the dilemma so cunningly resolved by Boone here : Scenario: (1) a forum thread, within which Person A posts a new message. (2) Second Person B sees the message in the activity stream, and because the forums do not allow for direct replies (why not?!), B presses reply in the activity […]

I am happy to report that this off-the-top-of-my-head, untested code is a solution that works 100% 🙂 Many thanks!

Oh snap, seems the forums don’t have the plugin installed we are talking about eh? Only saw your suggestion now, Boone, will try as soon as I have a moment tonight! I’ll report back – Cheers Andreas

Complaints are increasing, unfortunately. Is there anything I can do to help locate the cause for the dilemma?
