@Mike Pratt – unfortunately previous to the change the links to threads were only being recorded with the group slug. Any posts from this point on will contain the link to the actual thread on the “View Thread” button.
@Mike,
seems this is already fixed at testbp.org
Hi I am not sure if there’s now (seven months later) a better idea…. Is it possible for a contributor to subscribe at a sub blog, rather than going to the route buddypress install to register?
Thanks in advance

Just to confirm I’ve tested it with the BuddyPress default theme now and it’s still saving the wrong hash in the database for some reason :S
The signup-password POST data is definitely being delivered to the signups backend PHP… so I can’t work out why it wouldn’t be saving it correctly…
Hi again,
Everything is done through the frontend – our students and academics absolutely hated the backend (and I tend to agree – at least in regards to buddypress doing pretty much everything through the frontend aside from blogs).
1. Wiki directory page is definitely on the cards but we’ve not started working on that yet. Probably something for the new year 
2. Tags would be nice but I suspect something that will come later too sorry…
3. I’ll discuss the idea of a vertical page listing with people more next week. I suspect it’ll be put on the back-burner until we’ve got most of everything working properly though. (e.g. whatever the rest of the team have already partially completed will be the way we go for the next week or two).
FYI each commit message is being duplicated:
Revision 2206: Fixes #1478: Fixes #1478 http://bit.ly/7QLtay
I’m basically one-week new to BuddyPress and but I agree, right now, it’s a bit difficult to be theme agnostic since you have to provide the page templates yourself. We’re going to have to work with Andy and the other devs to find a way to start moving more toward the way WordPress does it:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
This way your plug-in’s action, i.e. create new link, just uses the template framework’s create.php page and you don’t have to provide your own. Same with directories. There should be one directory.php file in a theme and every directory uses it.
Granted this is a huge task But maybe we can spur it via Links since Links is kind of the poster child for BP component plug-ins. I’m available to help hammer that out if any devs catch this thread.
This is absolutely great news for everyone who wants to use buddypress in the fields of education. Thank u very much for sharing with us. Is it all working on the frontend, or does the user has to enter the wp-backend?
Thoughts:
1. A searchable “wiki” directoy page would great.
2. Tags would be great – with a sidebar tag cloud widget on the directory page.
3. I also like ur idea of vertical “page” listing.
What a great xmas present

I am assuming it won’t work because 1.2 has a new theme. I have not even looked at theming for 1.2 yet, because from what I hear, it is still under heavy development. Once it has stabilized I will create a new theme with templates that work with the new 1.2 theme.
So this won’t be working for 1.2 bleeding then? Haven’t tried it yet, but I was going to very soon.
@Suzanne
Thanks for the kind words!
Managing themes in BP is a chore, but I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that there is just so much HTML required to display it. I tend to agree with you though. Simply extending the existing default theme is the quickest way to get up and running, so you end up with most websites just changing the colors, and not much of the layout. A separate framework for developing themes would be awesome, but you are still at the mercy of the direction of the project.
When 1.2 comes I will have to re-theme this plugin, so I will take all of the help I can get at that point! Any input as to how to re-make the templates so they are more generic would be great.
@lsddesign
I think you are probably getting that error, because buddypress-links requires PHP 5.2 or higher.
Found it.
For anyone else that has this problem, go into your Buddypress > bp-core > bp-core-adminbar.php
Find create-a-blog and change it to create
Your blogs can now be created.
Trunk changes daily and often times a few times per day, so you’ve probably got an incomplete revision.
https://trac.buddypress.org/log/trunk for the log.
Maz you have my vote for awesome plug-in as well. I’m excited about this one and the addition of the social media stuff this round was a great surprise.
If you want help with the presentation layer, I will help you. That’s my forte. I’m developing a theme framework for BP right now and am finding a lot of plug-in developers writing their code with a dependence on the BP theme framework 
I’d like to see everybody move toward theme independence where you create tags that theme developers can drop into their page templates. I realize we may need BP to serve up a standardized page template, with all the appropriate hooks and standardized list navigation for plug-ins however, but we have to start somewhere. I just don’t want everyone to get so far down the road where we’re all stuck with using the BP theme framework because all the plug-ins were written with its HTML and its CSS.
Ping me and I’ll help you.
P.S. I use Safari 4 so you’d have that piece covered too.
You don’t need two threads for the same issue. Since you have https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/can´t-upload-avatar, I’m closing this one.
@erich73, yes it’s possible to do, but I’m not sold that it’s a good idea to auto change slugs. Right now it works the same as WordPress does. Since slugs are important for SEO, automatically changing them can do more damage than good.
I’ll probably make it an option via a constant because I can see value in this for some setups.
This is BuddyPress centric forum, so if you are having wpmu problem, you should visit he forum at mu.wordpress.org as there’re more users than we have here on buddypress.org
Also please read and follow the step by step guide on asking question on forum.

We are happy to help, but without enough information we can’t.
Is this on the new buddypress theme? Not sure what the reason is that the buttons are messed up. Can you provide a link?

Hi Ron!
Yes, avatars could be uploaded before upgrade.
No, I didn´t have to change file permissions to complete the upgrade.
We are using WordPress MU 2.8.6 and BuddyPress Versión 1.1.3
Yours,

Dear JJJ,
I just saw that when I change the Group-name (as a user, not as the Admin), then the URL of that Group-page does not get changed but remains the URL from the originally created Group-name.
How to solve this, so that the URL gets updated when the user is changing the Group-name ?
Is this actually possible to do ?
Many thanks !
I’d be fine with an index / directory page. That page could perhaps even use sorting / filtering (at some point) similar to the BuddyPress directory pages in the latest default theme… i.e. most active, most recent… my wikis, all wikis… etc. And if you’re leveraging WordPress functionality… another way to organize the wikis would be by tags and categories… perhaps with a sidebar widget and a dynamic directory page depending on which tag / category you click on. Lots of ideas
