Re: So New from NING
It’s true that media tends to be a rather large weakness for BP and one of the obvious surprises migrating from Ning, however a lot of work has been done on an extremely well featured album plugin and which is still actively being developed and improved and as such I’m sure it isn’t going to be abandoned in any hurry
Check the community groups tab as all plugins have their own group and you’ll find Album there.
Events is something of a sore point, there was a plugin that handled events very nicely, sadly with upgrade of WPMU to 2.9 and then further, upgrade to BP 1.2 broke the plugin completely, there was supposedly going to work done to bring it in line with bp 1.2 but that appears to have stalled .
