BuddyPress.org

this a fresh install. I installed wordpress 3.0.5 from Yahoo web hosting. Then it said new version is available i upgraded it to 3.1

Then I installed plugins. buddypress 1.2.8

use the default buddypress theme.

Yahoo saves all the files in the blog folder (wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes).

Buddypress folder was automatically saved or installed under wp-content/plugins

By default everything is enable, private messaging, extended profile and friend connections. I didnt change any settings.

There is a link for these features on the admin bar but the messages, profiles and friend connections will just redirect me to members directory. Although the address on the link shows the proper link to messages, profiles.
