BTW…it seems much faster now Paul. On a side note, have you gotten closer to the release up the achievements update for the recent wp 3.5 changes? I remember seeing you mention that you were going to have make some updates and release theme ASAP about a couple of weeks ago…?

What’s funny, is that the theme developers were blaming buddypress. Since it was my first buddypress installation, I checked everywhere and then decided to post some comments on about 10 different buddypress sites…..none did as I mentioned..so I dropped the theme and made my own bp theme from a non-bp theme and everything is good now. Sorry for such a late reply.

Thank you Ben. I’m heavily considering Waang Guard as well. I’ve heard great things about it, but with all the hoopla about all the different solutions, I’m trying to get a feel for all that everyone else is doing. I appreciate you chiming in. Hopefully I can get some more people to chime in with their suggestions as well.

thanks @mercime, I appreciate your response. Have you tried either of them? If so, which would you say is better to go with. $19 is not a bad deal to keep me from spending a couple of hours modding code, though GPL is always the direction I prefer to go. What do you think?

Thanks I grabbed it, but the backwards compatibility with non-bp (wp) themes was pretty buggy so I switched to bp 1.6 and just modified my theme to meet bp’s needs.

I see that we are down to about 9 tickets before 1.7 drops so i bet we are less than a couple of months away. Really interested in seeing what custom scripts and plugins I wrote that I’ll be able to uninstall with all the new features of 1.7.

Keep up the great work BP Devs. I can’t wait until I have the free time to help out with BP in the next 6-8 months!

Thanks JJJ. I appreciate the heads up. Can you include a link to the trunk. I haven’t used any of the dev versions of BP yet, so I have not a clue where trunk would be. Thanks in advance.

Down to 11 tickets. I’ve been on the hunt to try and determine the release date, as I’m starting a bp project now and am wondering if the 1.7 release date will speed up/slow down my own release date of Jan 1st, 2013

Any thoughts and comments on my situation are welcome.
