Did you create a child theme? If you did, then you should have no problems. It looks to me like you do not have any of the javascript, which means nothing is loading properly.
You should be doing this:

I love BuddyPress and admire the great work of Andy, JJJ & teams, but a “Privacy-Feature” is much more important than some other cool stuff like “@mention” , etc.
Thinking about single-WP-installs, I guess this will become troublesome without solid Privacy-Features.
I am afraid of using BP 1.2 if there is no “Privacy-feature” build into it and most probably I will have to postpone my BP-website until this is implemented.
@MrMaz
Updating the “LINKS” directory in my theme worked!
But now, the detected IMAGE for the thumbnail doesnt actually get used when I save the link.
any thoughts?
— im curious.. when it dynamically detects the thumbnail to use.. where does it store the data?
P.S. I apologize for the delayed response .. I got really really sick the past few days.
There was some talk in the recent buddypress-dev meeting about creating a poll for future feature requests. When such a poll appears on the site, be sure to vote for privacy in the core if you think it’s important for it not to be located in a plugin.
Didn’t we do the exact same thing six months ago?
Privacy is crucial imho. If access management is not core, what is? Social networks can’t function without privacy controls. Members won’t use it for anything serious if they can’t control whether their posts goes to their friends or out to the world.
I hadn’t paid much attention to this issue because I assumed it was coming. With all due respect, the developers seem more interested in “new features” and cool coding challenges than straightforward usability and making sure the core is rock solid.
@andrea_r i was wondering this. that is BRILL. 
Thanks Andrea, I just didn’t understand if WPMU won’t exist anymore because it will be merged with WP as option (that would be smart I suppose)
It’s true that the roadmap has changed a lot: https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/

BuddyPress’s standard “forums” links are created with the assumption that BP is using the standard integrated version of bbPress. Since your installation is elsewhere, you’ll have to redirect those links. It should only be in one place:
In header.php of your BP theme, replace <a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_FORUMS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) ?></a> with <a href="http://www.australianracinggreyhound.com/forums/" title="<?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>
As for your more general question, I faced the same issue with a project of mine (whether to maintain an external installation of bbPress or migrate over). I decided that, in the long run, it would be best to move to the standard, integrated version of bbPress. I described the process here: http://teleogistic.net/2009/12/upgrading-from-buddypress-1-0-to-1-1/
Not sure what’s causing your login issue, but it might be fixable by hardcoding the link into your theme’s header.php file. Replace <?php echo site_url( 'wp-login.php' ) ?> with the correct path to the login page.

I will suggest putting javascript with template files, reason, the javascript is mostly dependent on template and will change in custom templates, so give the user the ability to customize without modifying the plugin.
The problem for loading comes, when you want to activate your javascript function after activity is called, as Andy suggested in trac,
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1616
Using ajaxStop for determining the case, though it is not the most efficient way. I am working on a custom javascript event thing, and if Bp1.2 is delayed for 2 weeks, I will put my solution for Andy’s review.
In other case, using the wp_print_scripts action and wp_enqueue_script is your best recourse.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I’ll look into those. I really like how Buddypress links is organized with ratings and creates a directory, but maybe at least I can use a ratings plugin or use both Links and a Gallery plugin.
@dwakabayashi, where can we get your BP plugins?
@mercime
1. Glad that is working okay. It’s something that I only implemented on Friday so it may need some tweaking
2. At the moment there is no facility to delete revisions. Something to look at in future I guess. For now, we want pretty much everything saved as it’s all student work. If we were to put something in there I’d imagine it would be an admin function to clear individual revisions/all revisions older than x amount of time or ‘all’ revisions.
3. That sounds great Our project finishes in a week or so, so we can chat about this after that.
4. (The alert) – I’m not sure what you mean here. Please can you explain further?
@mikepratt
1. Thanks
2 + 3. I definitely see your point here. We have tried to make it as accessible as possible to people that are non-technical. I’m sure there are things that can be improved upon on that front though. One thing that might be quite nice (suggested by one of the other developers, Ryo) is to make it so that by default the wiki pages are created with some kind of basic instructions – perhaps an instructional video. Not something we’ll be doing now but having a backend admin function that lets you control that might be good.
@windhamdavid
Thanks for the link. We originally looked at using mediawiki for this project but it turned out to be a big of a nightmare to integrate the systems nicely. See this post for a few more details: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/group-wiki-plugin-not-a-release-but-in-progress
“you will have a merge script to port any existing installation to the new structure,”
Just a minor correction: in 3.0 you just upgrade. That’s it.
There were tow conversations going on about needing a script, one was in regard to making wp 3 have multiple blogs. This happens now in trunk via switching on an option. (way cool btw)
The other conversation about needing a script, was referring to people who had multiple single WP installs and wanted to merge them into one wp 3 install.
So – if you start now with BP on MU or on WP, when 3.0 comes out, you upgrade as usual.
And it’s WordPress 3.0. 
and as a note, when WP and WPMU merge, you will have a merge script to port any existing installation to the new structure, so you loose nothing and you will not be broken… i could say that 95% of the existing addons will still work with WP*mu 3.0!
you may have to contact the guys at Buddymatic, because the default installation of Buddypress is working fine with the newest version of wpmu… don’t see why anyother adminbar would have a problem as well, mine works properly.
you may simply have to reinstall your theme or check for an update in the next hours/days
My install of BuddyPress is using BuddyPress Default 1.1.3. When I click on groups, it takes me to a page that says:
“Welcome to the BuddyPress Community Theme
Simply change this text in your theme options”
Isn’t that the BuddyPress Community Theme? Parent? Child?
My problem is that the admin doesn’t have any way to access the Options page for this portion of my BuddyPress site.
Had anyone been working on it they probably would have seen this thread.
I’m marking this as not a support issue as it seems to relate to a third party theme and not BuddyPress itself.
re – BuddyPress Community theme – Did you even activate the theme or read instructions at premium.wpmudev.org/project/buddypress-community-theme/installation/ ? Also, the theme is a premium theme and you should have free theme support there.
“BuddyPress Default 1.1.3 by BuddyPress.org which seems to have the Community theme embedded in it”
– uh, no Community theme embedded at all – or do you mean you activated the theme?
Re: your confusion re themes – only bp-default child theme and bp-sn-parent are packaged in BP 1.1.3 BP plugin
Where can I ask if this feature is being developed by anyone?
Enrich73, we are working with speaklike and worldwide lexicon on a plug-in that will allow WP blogs to be translated by humans and/or machines.
Of course our work is GPL
We built all of our work on it.
Hi,
I PM you how to reproduce the jQuery conflict and now I have another question.
I try to use your plugin with the wpaudio plugin. I’ve solved the issue with the bp-link widget reloading the js with the ajax links but I can’t find where I can add this js with the filter-by-category in the links directory.
Do you have any suggestion? Do you think it’s the good way to proceed?
I had a deep look at your code to find a solution and I really think that you have done a great job! So thanks again for your plugin!
