@cecilporter, same rules still apply. Don’t forget to save your po/mo’s and upload them.
Can anyone recommend a GUI po/mo editor for Mac that works?
On my server I go from zero to buddypress in minutes. Easily under 9 minutes. Not sure what issues you were having but I’d be interested to know.

Not sure how well it works with buddypress, but I suppose it shouldn’t make any difference. I’m planning on using that plugin myself as well.
Jeff, I have tried this a few times already to no avail. Now that I am trying to do it again, the link to upgrading from RC-1 is gone and I am unsure which files need to move and which ones just need to be deleted. Do you know of anyone that can actually help us in this transition or walk me through EXACTLY what I need to do, step by step. I have three sites that I need to get upgraded.

Nope. For an xtra profile page you’ll need to use something like this:
/**
* Setup update location nav item
* @since 1.0
*/
function sv_xprofile_xtra_nav()
{
global $bp;
$profile_link = $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->profile->slug . '/';
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( 'name' => __( 'Update Location', 'scuba' ), 'slug' => 'update-location', 'parent_url' => $profile_link, 'parent_slug' => $bp->profile->slug, 'screen_function' => 'sv_screen_update_location', 'position' => 15 ) );
}
add_action( 'xprofile_setup_nav', 'sv_xprofile_xtra_nav' );
/**
* Display location update screen
* @since 1.0
*/
function sv_screen_update_location()
{
if ( !bp_is_home() && !is_site_admin() )
return false;
/* Check to see if any new information has been submitted */
if( isset( $_POST['save'] ) )
{
/* Check the nonce */
check_admin_referer( 'sv_profile_update_location' );
if( $_POST['user_lat'] && ! $_POST['user_long'] || ! $_POST['user_lat'] && $_POST['user_long'] )
{
bp_core_add_message( __( 'You need to provide both a latitude and a longitude.', 'scuba' ), 'error' );
$error = true;
}
if( ! $error )
{
$lat = apply_filters( 'sv_sanitize_user_input', $_POST['user_lat'] );
$long = apply_filters( 'sv_sanitize_user_input', $_POST['user_long'] );
$id = apply_filters( 'sv_sanitize_user_input', $_POST['user_id'] );
$loc = array(
'user_lat' => $lat,
'user_long' => $long
);
update_usermeta( $id, 'user_location', $loc );
bp_core_add_message( __( 'Your location has been updated!', 'buddypress' ) );
do_action( 'sv_successful_location_update' );
}
}
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'sv_xprofile_template_update_location', 'profile/location' ) );
}
Then you obviously need a template file as well in your theme in the profiles folder. I use the above code to let the user pick his geo position on a google map and then I display the users on a flash map on the members directory page.
You should describe your problems in more detail.
Personally it only took me about 2 hours or so to get wpmu and buddypress installed. And working properly. The only problem I encountered was with an RSS feed. Solution was to upgrade to php5 for that.
In any case the members and devs here seem to be very friendly and helpful.

Size doesn’t matter, right? 
Anyways, adjusting some css should do the trick. set your logo as the background image of the a tag, give it the width and the height of your logo and then move the text out of the screen using text-indent.
Something like this (put it in custom.css, which you might have to create under _inc/css/):
#header h1 a {
background:transparent url(../images/buddypress/bp_logo.gif) no-repeat left top;
display:block;
height:42px;
text-indent:-999em;
width:180px;
}
By the way, a little searching here on the forum would have given you the answer as it’s come up a few times already.
enjoy!
“That” page is actually a WordPress page and as such has not much to do with BP. Let Andy take care of the more important things…
With basic skill level however you should be able to do that yourself like so: http://www.problogdesign.com/wordpress/custom-wordpress-login-screen/
Are there any important hardcoded theme changes in this one Andy (apart from the obvious total css renewal?
Wow it’s gorgeous, really amazing!
The colors are easily customized. It’s also possible to upload a custom background image for the header. This theme is supposed to provide a much simpler and more usable base for people to create themes from. The old default was not a good base at all.

oh, one more thing. any idea when it’ll show up in the trunk? cheers!
Is this still the way to do it?
It doesn’t work for me using WPMU 2.8.6 w/ BuddyPress 1.1.3

very cool! not a big fan of that huge blue header. i’d have made it a light color as well. it would have been kind of like the sandbox theme, just prettier. but since that’s the only bad thing i can say about it, i guess that means the new theme is an outstanding piece of work 
well done!
Love the new theme!
Can’t wait to play around with this.
I love the fact that activities drive everything, however less emphasis is placed on the profile (unlike before).
What I would like to do is put friends and groups so they are on the same page.
The “Blogs” tab shouldn’t show up if the user doesn’t have any blogs associated with their account.

Looks like the new activity permalinks are following the minimalistic layout of Twitter.
Cool!
Won’t be long before someone either makes a plugin or creates an xprofile field for users to change the background of it

Can’t wait!
You could back up the forum data to your computer as a SQL query, do some search and replaces (mainly to replace paragraph tags with newline characters) and reimport. I did something like that and it took care of probably 95% of the HTML markup. http://teleogistic.net/2009/12/upgrading-from-buddypress-1-0-to-1-1/
Hey David,
I guess you agree that “usability” is much better than before ?
Just change the colors to the ones you prefer and you will be happy…..
Hate to say this… although I’m sure I will find little details that are much nicer… overall… I much prefer the original theme. The new one looks bland. But I guess it’s just a default theme. Maybe it’s better for it to look more generic.
It seems to be down again… I am seeing “This blog has been archived or suspended” as well.
right now, i just registered, had an activation email,
(btw, the email title is: [BuddyPress Testdrive] Activate http:// )
activated, but then my password is not working… requested new password to access.
in the wp-admin, the recent Comments block, each comment url point to the wp-admin/index.php file… no real usage… rofl
the adminbar in the wp-admin is hovering the original from wpmu… and i’m dyslexic… rofl
