You get the forum activated in the backend under BuddyPress->Forums Setup. You can find the information that makes up your frontpage in a file called home.php in your child theme folder. The forum stuff you find in directories->forums->index.php. You could copy everything, except the sidebar bit over to home.php, but there’ll probably be some CSS issues, cause home.php is completely widgetized. So it’ll make more sense to package the forum stuff up as a widget and drop it in the first-section sidebar.
The rest (memberlist,groups,mesageboards) is set up automatically for you by BuddyPress.
Happy Coding!
In the default buddypress theme, the main blog is under the link “Blog” the rest under “blogs”. (At least for me.)
As for the columns, you can add widgets. (Go to the Dashboard, and there Appearence, Widgets).
The appropriate widgets would probably be Recent posts and Sitewide recent posts. You may also try the RSS widget.
I have this same issue. The blog name bears no resemblance to the username. There’s no reference to any blog in the profile fields.
WPMU 2.8.4a
BuddyPress 1.1
It was not solved by itself overnight.
here you go
You can use this constants in your wp-config to change the linknames.
Hello,
over here i encountered this problem too.
I am using wpmu 2.8.4 with Buddypress 1.1.1 and an BBPress Forum (not the integrated version, cause i want to use it as standard forum too).
So since i changed from the old “Two-Theme” system to the new one where the member theme is inside my wp-maintheme, i have this Problem and cant get rid of it.
Step 1:
Everything is in DB and seems correct
Step 2:
after clicking “Next Step” there is another group created without base data but with status.
There is no new groupforum created.
Step 3:
Sometimes i get here and if so i have a correct group(or so it seems in database), but after choosing the avatar i get another error saying “try again”.
Step 4:
Long time no see ^^ I have not seen this step since i changed the theme -.-
Hopefully someone will find out what causes this error 
Andy let me ask you….I am playing with the bp-facebook plugin you ported, and specifically trying to add a value to the insert function you have in there now
function bp_fbconnect_insert_data( $user_id, $usermeta )
///////I tried setting an extra value inside that function – statically for now (just for testing) right under the default “full name” insert you have in there now.
I set it up like this:
xprofile_set_field_data(‘Age’, $user_id, ‘Test’);
I have tried setting with double quotes, no quotes, and several different ways, but it never seems to insert into the “Age” field I created in Buddypress.
Any ideas whats going wrong here? I am wondering if this function isnt firing at the right time? OR maybe I am making a stupid mistake 
Thoughts? Thanks
I found the upgrade instructions to be incorrect for older versions of BP to be upgraded. Not exactly sure which version I was running, pre1.0 I guess.. buddypress was in “mu-plugins” (that’s where we were supposed to put it back in the day right??)
Anyways, I could not find anyway to “deactivate buddypress” – maybe I’m losing my mind.
So I got stuck on that part.
I decided to backup my install, then delete all the buddypress files / folders I had in “mu-plugins”, then upgraded wordpressmu to 2.8.4a – then uploaded newer buddypress into “plugins” – so far seems to work, not sure if I lost anything, or if I would lose anything doing this on my other buddypress site.
Any suggestions?
I suggest a not in the upgrade instructions for anyone attempting and older bpress version upgrade.
Well than lets start working…Help each other and suggest each other..Work on GPL themes.
I was able to fix the problem by just making some simple changes to the PHP in the header. I changed the following:
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( sports_news ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a>/<?php echo sports_news ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Sports', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Sports', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>
To:
<li<?php if ( is_page('news') ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a>/news" title="News">News</a>
This fixes the entire problem, and now the respective button is highlighted. I am changing this topic to “resolved”.
How do you go about reactivating the old Social Network logo in the new updated buddypress installation? I’m not very familiar with PHP.

Wouldn’t this plugin cover what we need?
It seemlessly merges posts from an RSS feed with other posts in your blog. If there was a way to selectively offer this plugin to member blogs, that would solve it for me.
And perhaps some integration with Buddypress account areas to make it more idiot-proof; a field where members can enter their RSS feed, without having to go into the plugin back-end.
Because it’s not, because Andy Peatling wants a unique look for this site. Closing this thread as this is discussed almost once a week.
And why not? Everything else is free…
This sounds like a bug, please post it at trac.buddypress.org/newticket – same login details. I’ll see if I can reproduce and fix for 1.1.2. Thanks.
Perhaps we should join forces, Boone but my partner in crime Brent Layman (westpointer) and I have a working plugin that does the same thing (albeit w/o the elegant options you have)

Are you aware and maybe we can share code.
Just checked the theme at http://nazieb.com/. Quite impressive!
If only we could get that for buddypress 1.1 that would be great.
