I didn’t mean to give the impression that I will copy how facebook handles links in regards to their activity stream. I want to do it in the most user friendly way possible, just not sure exactly what that is yet. The main goal of this entire plugin for me is to enable people to share stuff they find on the internet as fast as possible. So however we need to make it work to meet that goal is what we are going to do.
I don’t think it would be too hard to make description an optional field with a configuration constant. Per category I don’t think is worth the effort unless a ton of people request it.

my question remains open there though, because (at this time) I haven’t solved the problem.
(but thanks anyway Peter)
Hmmm. Do you think so? I have my test blog sending notifications fine using either the BuddyPress Default 1.2 theme or the ultra simple child theme I tried that depends on BuddyPress Default (only removed page tabs and search field top right).
Yet using either of these supposedly identical themes on the older blog that used to have intensedebate do not send notifications.
If you purchased that custom BP theme, then contact theme author. If you created that custom theme, then double-check template tags as many have been deprecated from older BP versions to current 1.2 stable. Also, it would help others help you :https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-asking-for-support
@emilywebber, thanks for the reply! So, I looked in my WordPress Dashboard Settings (Dashboard > Settings > General) and I don’t have a setting for allowing user registration. I think it was moved in WordPress Multi-User to this menu: Site Admin > Options, where I have these choices:
* Disabled
* Enabled. Blogs and user accounts can be created.
* Only user account can be created.
* Only logged in users can create new blogs.
Selecting “Enabled” or “user account can be created” doesn’t fix the issue.
@Sunset Cowboy, no that didn’t help. The BuddyPress 1.2 theme (appropriately) doesn’t show the link to users who are logged in. Logging out and clicking on the “Create New Account” link still just redirects to the homepage.
Is there something else I’m missing? Perhaps some other setting? I’m thinking of shutting off BuddyPress and trying to create a new account in just WPMU.
Thanks,
K
I’m also would like to donate, this plugin is amazing.. PayPal details please 
i like the tool, i’m ready to invest a little in it… Marshall, tell me… 
i read that you want to mimic the way we can add links to the facebook activity… if i may… i hate how facebook deal with links, as sometimes it work, some times it wont… when we post a link in a comment or our feed it interact differently, and i’d like to see a different technique.
also, when we provide a new link, if we have nothing in the description we have the alert to fill all fields… could we avoid this, as the description may not suite all needs?? like for each category, enable force description?
Do you accept donations through paypal or similar? I really want you to continue on improving it
@MrMaz – Dropped you a pm with some account details
Don’t do that, create a new child theme and override the default css by adding the above into your child themes style.css. Otherwise you will lose the changes on upgrade.

susomoy sinha,
The only way you can create Admin, Moderators, Forums, Categories, etc. on bbPress is if you the stand-alone version and not the one that comes bundled with BuddyPress.
As geoffm33 said, an admin can delete forum posts directly from the topic on the included BP bbPress.
I am currently suffering from this problem (a) had intensedebate on a non-MU blog, (b) have removed it, (c) have installed buddypress, (d) neither wordpress admin notifications nor buddypress member notifications are being sent.
@peterverkooijen what exactly did you do when you say “Copying an earlier version of an entire template folder solved the problem”?
Why not just install the backwards compatibility plugin?
@jamesjones
I just tested this and was not able to duplicate it. Do you have a link where I can see it?
@MrMAz
WP 2.9.2 Single install and BP 1.2 – when on a member profile under the links tab the voting mechanism appears but it does not record votes or allow user to vote.
Otherwise – excellent
Tested in Firefox, IE and Chrome.
@Sunset Cowboy
Tried to PM you but not able to reach your profile.
Can you please PM me with a URL and user account where I can take a look? It also would be helpful to know what browser you are using. Try a different browser as well and see if you get different results.
Well, crap!
I thought I might be able to fade away in my cave, living a private life. But I can see that some of you actually want privacy features in BuddyPress. I guess I will have to get to work.
So, if I vote a -7 will that cancel everyone’s votes out?
well, thanks for getting back to me so soon MrMaz. I tried it out as you described, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the problem… still the boxes are not opening.
I have this problem on 3 different sites by the way, so I’m just a little baffled. Could there be server or browser settings or anything like that interfering? I’ve checked the php-version (5.2.1) so it doesnt appear to be that…
Would be a pity if I couldnt use this
Cheers
Dave
@nzde
It looks like you aren’t using the latest version of BuddyPress. You need to have 1.2 FINAL installed.
@Sunset Cowboy
There is a usability issue that Mike Pratt brought to my attention that may be happening to you. Its not worth explaining here, but what you need to do is after you enter the URL, tab out of that textbox, or click somewhere else on the screen to make sure the onBlur() event fires.
Nothing in the avatar or advanced settings boxes are required, so that is not causing your problem.
I have the same problem. I used the bp-default and created a child theme named default and put it under the themes directory. I did this to replace the original default theme. I was hoping that when new users create an account they would assume the child default theme automatically, however, I noticed when test creating blogs that they don’t work at all since 1.2 buddypress. I deleted my original default theme and all 100 blogs are broken now. Will you have a fix for this soon?
error for new blogs:
The blog you have requested is not installed properly. Please contact the system administrator.
old blogs will not connect to new default child theme?
Thanks
Submit this as an enhancement suggestion on http://trac.buddypress.org with a milestone of “1.2.1” please. You can use your username and password from this site.
I’d love to say that this is a great plugin too, but unfortunately its not quite working.
The problem is, the boxes “edit avatar options” and “edit advanced settings” will not open, when I click on them nothing happens, thus I cannot save the link…
Would really appreciate feedback

Not sure if this is doable but it would great if you could have the added widget colums on all the pages.
@andhix Delete the whitespace on the last line in bp-oembed.php (the whitespace after ?>).
I was testing what you can embed and the polldaddy plugin polls go into the activity stream and forums using the short code very nicely
