For those interested, the plugin etiviti (rich!) created for this issue can be found here:

So are you saying I’d be better off waiting for both to be out, or could I just do the wordpress 3 beta now, and wait on buddypress compatibility?
Sounds like a plan.. It’s a matter of weeks until WP 3.0 is out, and BuddyPress will be compatible from day 1, so you might want to launch the site when WP 3.0 is out with BuddyPress from the start! Good luck!
to answer both of your final questions: Yes and Yes!
Thanks MrMaz, I figured there was a reason.
@modemlooper @scotm – Check out the Filtering Options at https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/. For example, if you want the main site activity stream to show only updates, use something like this in functions.php of your theme:
function my_custom_query_filter( $query_string ) {
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_activity_component() && !$bp->displayed_user->id )
$query_string .= '&action=activity_update';
return $query_string;
}
add_filter( 'bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring', 'my_custom_query_filter' );
Play around with that conditional statement and the query string arguments to make the activity stream show what you want it to show.
@Erich73 – You can customize the message however you’d like on the Dashboard admin panel. Under Buddypress > Invite Anyone. As for your report about the “Sent Invites” tab – are you sure that you sent group invites along with the email invitations? As @hnla says, make sure you’ve checked the option on the Dashboard panel.
@dre1080 – I may try to make this work at a later date. If nothing else, I can put in the proper hooks that would allow someone else to build such an extension for my plugin. Stay tuned.
@everyone – I just put a widget into the development version of the plugin, available at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/download/. If anyone is interested, they can check it out! I want to get a few more new features before tagging a new stable version.
Nope…it is not dead, but definitely on halt as I am involved with other projects as well. Unfortunately my development for BuddyPress runs in sync with the requirements of our local development for our organization. We are anticipating wordpress 3.0 release and content post types. P2 is category based. At the same time we have other issues that take priority, one of them being integrating outside networks such Facebook and External blogs.
I wish it was as easy as being able to develop full time, but it just isn’t the case. The project is still on track, but delayed.
possible to filter on bp_get_activity_avatar and replace that with the link thumbnail?
Since the link thumb can be edited it is not possible to synch it up with the activity stream
Ahh… that answers my question too. Thanks!
@kriskl – can you message me whatever errors the forum index was producing (or at least what is happening to crash the site) but i’ll look over the filter stuff and make sure all forums are being returned. (maybe something is related when not returning the full set)
as for the move topic, new topics since last visit from @3sixty i don’t mind adding those in – just time hasn’t been favorable of late with looming projects before i head out on vacation.
as for the topic views – i’ll dig up _ck_’s old one and see if that can be easily moved over
@gibbyesl
That looks like a bug. I can’t believe that nobody caught that during the beta testing.
@Shnooka30
Since the link thumb can be edited it is not possible to synch it up with the activity stream which is one reason why I have not added it yet. I hope to add that feature when 1.4 comes out with some API improvements.
@jeffsayre and all other users,
Im developing our new site right now, was looking for a cache plugin.
The option that Jeff gave us is by far the best option for WP & BP

At least try it, it’s worth it

I agree with everything that’s been said here by @gregfielding.
Thanks, this is valuable feedback.
Could anyone (maybe rich!) add this to forum extras plugin? forum index..
please

there are some users who after we switched to buddypress forums.. keep asking for that,, old habits die hard 
I too have “0” listed as comments, even though there are 6 comments. Curious.. many people are asking me why the thumbnail doesn’t show in the activity stream. Is this a bug? Kinda strange

One of the main reasons I even want to use this is to stop BP from adding Title | Component | Title. Most RT an share buttons pull this title and it’s not very user friendly. REally has nothing to do with SEO
Do we really need another plugin? This type of thing should be in core. Consolidating is better.
testing this on 1.2.3 and 2.9.2
The comments don’t change always display (0) for the links
Is this a known issue
Thanks

SEO really is a fickle thing. To be honest, I wouldn’t bother too much with it with the social aspects of your site… Get the blog that goes with your sn up to scratch, interest other people to join your network and then your member numbers will speak for themselves…
Hi Sven,
is there any risk of Google discovering the features of that plugin an therefore ignoring your specific BP-page from their index ?
What is the effect of using this plugin: lets say by using this plugin my page will be in the top2-pages of Google compared to not using this plugin my page will be at page10 at Google ?
Is there anything like this in order to rate the “success” or “capability” of using this plugin ?
Many thanks,
Hi I have installed WPMU 2.92, and meda a 404 with the subdomains,
example if I try to enter this url http://nunkarototen.ubicateonline.com/activity/ I do not work, but if I go http://ubicateonline.com/activity/ everything works well.
BuddyPress not support multisite Blogs?
