@Edelwater nice heads up. I hated all chat options until you pointed out BoWob. Did you have to do anything special to pull in BP Display Names on your install? Or did you just add it as a typical plugin?
Glad to see it getting the respect it deserves from the prez.

Matt says that he believes HTML5 will be the next wave of revolution for the web: it won’t be Web 3.0 or the semantic blah blah. It’s going to be about broadband, and HTML5 will allow us to provide full interactive applications right there in your browser that will load up in seconds. He says that he is counting the days to when they can drop support for IE8 and just support HTML5.

Im using bowob on my/buddypress currently it seems to be the most “fastest” and every user on the site is immediately in the chat. It has ads but for $40 you have it free for 150.000 uses.
I do have currently the problem that all users can login (incl. persons i made admin) except for … me 
Xevo, to your point, HTML5 is actually more cross-browser friendly than you think:
http://ejohn.org/blog/html5-doctype/
It’s true that some browsers (ahem, IE) are not fitted for this, but I’ve stopped supporting IE6 on a personal level, and IE7 has a shiv that fixes that. http://remysharp.com/2009/01/07/html5-enabling-script/ It’s true there are still problems with that (javascript turned off for example), http://remysharp.com/2009/01/07/html5-enabling-script/ but that shouldn’t stop some of the more adventurous. (Google’s home search page is now written with the HTML5 doctype — is that non-standard?)
On a personal level, I’ve decided the benefits outweigh the risks, so I’ve decided to start converting my site. I’ll check back in from time to time and tell everyone how it goes.
I guess maybe I have not been bozoed – wierd – I guess perhaps my comment on this thread:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/facebook-like-chat-plugin-for-buddypress
is being held for moderation because it has three links in it.. I guess my other posts show jsut fine, but no one else can read that post – ugh.
Wow! You could install BP in Yahoo! Hosting? I’ve seen many support questions at WordPress.org/forums where users are bogged down or get errors with that hosting, didn’t know that Yahoo! had mod_rewrite enabled
You can login on the sidebar at http://3rut.com/3rut/ where your BP is installed. Not sure if this is going to work with Yahoo! hosting, but test if this could be added to your wp-config.php
Allow BuddyPress to function on multiple blogs of a WPMU installation, not just on one root blog:
define ( 'BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG', true );
@MrMaz
I’m running the latest BP 1.2rc trunk and latest 0.3 trunk (with WPMU 2.9.1.1).
“My Links” show me list of all links not only mine (number in (numebr of links) of my links near to “My links” is ok).
Regards
Srecko
Any ideas on this? Basically looking to match the tag adding and editing ability that you have here on this Buddypress forum.

@MrMaz
I’m running the latest BP 1.2rc3 and downloaded the 0.3-beta from
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/download/
When I click the Links tab to go to my.com/links, it says “Page Not Found”
I’m not sure why this is happening with the latest of each.
PJParticipant
Resolved. Fresh Buddypress install resolves this issue and won’t interrupt site operations.
@msrecko, @pjnu
There have been a few changes in BP trunk that have required changes to BP Links over the past few days. Right now for everything to work properly you must have the latest BP trunk AND the latest BP Links trunk.
Sorry for all of this. I will be tagging another beta that is pretty stable after BP 1.2 is tagged final to avoid any more confusion.
PJParticipant
@MrMaz, it worked on my regular wordpress site, but not my wpmu one for some reason. It says the page was not found. Have other wpmu users had difficulties with the 0.3-beta on their sites?
Is there a way to make the Delete link more visible? It took a bit of looking around to find it.
Also, if I’m using the 0.3-bleeding, and future versions for BP 1.2 come out, can I simply overwrite the buddypress-links folder? I think it might be yes but I wanted to ask.
Thank you.
Another example of the lack/poor use of search.
This should be a reminder to all to take a look around, do some searches or at least ask a question before complaining.
However, it is also a reminder that people are impatient, want perfection, and want you to give it to them for nothing with little/no effort on their part. That is also a truth on the web these days.
yup, if you use the 1.2 version it works with single WP and its just as easy as installing a plug in. If you want to use a forum you will have to download bbpress and upload it to the bp-forum folder inside the buddypress folder

It’s so easy do you really need help?
https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/2727/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip
Go into plugins add new and upload. Activate plugin then go into themes and activate the default BP theme.
Cake!
hey all, the plugin can be downloaded at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-announce-group/ (once they approve it)
but for the time being it can be found at http://bluemandala.com/plugins/bp-announce-group.zip
it is pretty straight forward and can work with public groups, private or even hidden groups. Basically it make is to that only admins and moderators can add content. Regular members can join the group but can’t add any content.
Looks cool, and I’ll try to test it asap!
Thanks for creating this, and I hope that you get the ajax stuff working Maybe someone in the BuddyPress Dev. chat can help you out!
the lastest version of the plugin is available at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-tags/
if anyone knows much about how to integrate this withe the groups ajax (order by, search, my groups) then help me out. adding this functionality to the plugin would take it from a slight hack to something that could eventually be incorporated into core.
uhh I’m confused because on the demo page it links to what you get OOTB and a few links to what you can do with BP. So the statement it doesn’t do what is advertised is WAY false.
This site is an example of what you can do with BP and the demo links to what you get OOTB.
Another thought I’ve just had is to use group/blog meta data based filtering and modification of the theme to display blogs/pages based on group membership (for students). Any thoughts?
@michel: There’s also an easy solution to the member blog themes matching your regular theme. you can read a tutorial Andrea_r wrote about it on BP-Tricks.com. I’ll release the BP 1.2 member blog theme as soon as 1.2 launches. The forum thing is more complicated and if you want to do that right you need to invest in a programmer/designer
My experience with BP so far has been the complete opposite.. If you spend some time getting to know people and helping others out, before you know you’re part of the people you call “the insiders”.
