I would say it would be in your best interests to get used to how the new versions of wpmu and buddypress work together, if what you want is to stay on top of the most recent bug fixes, etc…
Upgrading from RC1 is going to open a whole new set of questions though, as it’s not a super easy thing to do.
yes it is
Not finished yet it needs some wires & friends xmlrpc methods.
Maybe someone could work on an xmlrpc client based on this apis, that might be awesome
The nice thing about themes, they are just html. Which is free to look at and examine. Chances are if you take a look at the source, and spend a few minutes in an image editor you will find this “theme” pretty easy to replicate.
What will be much harder to do is the quality job Andy has done integrating bbpress inside of buddypress. This blend on buddpress.org is seamless, and very difficult to achieve at this point without a lot of “deep intergration”.
But take a look at the source, and I think you will see it holds most the answers.
Andy’s mentioned that he will release some of his tricks eventually, but for now his main focus is readying BP for the 1.0 release.
You can piece a lot of this theme apart by staring at the CSS for a while. (It’s mostly just a lot of background images.)
I wonder if that means he will not release information on how to make the sub-nav and oval shaped content areas.
If I was going to use WordPress and bbPress as past examples, no, and don’t bet that it will be anytime soon.
Someone may make a replica, but usually the *Press public themes aren’t available for public use.
Never Mind, I found the answer in another thread.
It can be changed by changing the ‘BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG’ variable to whatever you would like, but it cannot be totally removed. You could do that in your wp-config.php file, or probably even in plugins/buddypress/bp-custom.php also.
You could essentially hide it by never linking to it within your templates too.

You cannot simply apply one Changeset and expect the entire BuddyPress package to work perfectly. Although that can work sometimes, you really need to apply all the previous Changesets up to that point.
Why, because since RC1 was released, there have been many bug fixes that additively could address your specific problem.
Read this thread and see if the issue you’re experiencing is the same. If so, go to the bottom for the solution.

How do I find my old posts/quetions in this forum?
To locate your forum posts, go to the main forum page and look for the link at the top that says, “You can also view your started and replied topics.”
I do not even see a CSS selector named “content” in the link you provided in the OP when I view the source.
If you perform a search on BuddyPress for that specific string, it comes up empty. If you search WPMU, there are over 40 files (no surprise) that have that string. But, wp-signup.php is not one of them.
What exactly are you trying to do?
The only potential draw back with that method Erwin, is that it adds the link at the end of the assembled navigation instead of giving you total control over it.
Something to think about, is that BuddyPress really does allow for per-theme blog setups.
The difference between:
http://delsolownersclub.com/
and
http://delsolownersclub.com/news/
and
http://delsolownersclub.com/mafdark/
Are all just smoke and mirrors with different themes.
You could really make any ‘blog’ of your website do whatever you want it to do, just like how the BuddyPress Codex is really just another blog. 
Morpheus: “Do you think that’s air you’re breathing now?”
All you have to do is create a php file called “add_forum_to_menu.php” with the following code:
<?php
function add_forums_to_main_menu() {
$class = (bp_is_page('forums')) ? ' class="selected" ' : '';
echo '<li ' . $class. '><a href="' . get_option('home') . '/forums"
title="' . __( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) .'">' .
__( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) .'</a></li>';
}
add_action('bp_nav_items','add_forums_to_main_menu');
?>
and put it in the mu-plugins directory. Make sure the “/forums” path in the above code points to your forum directory (mine is at http://www.domain.com/forums)
For all who are still having this issue. There was a bug fix 3 weeks ago that addressed this issue. See Changeset 1244. All widgets that come with BuddyPress were fixed with this revision.
If you are not running at least BuddyPress r1244, then you will still have issues.
Note: Custom widgets (3rd-party developed widgets), may or may not have implemented this bug fix. Therefore, if you are having translation issues with non-core BP widgets, you will need to contact the developer directly.
Thanks to all of you. It seems like a very strange issue. I looked at the error logs and at the times I got the blank was nothing in there. All is exactly like you described it, Jeff.
But yes, it’s an install just for testing purposes for my main install that goes life in a couple of days – therfore it is not to critical.
I will delete everything and just start the install from scratch with a new DB. I am sure, that will work, cause until now all my three installs worked perfect from the beginning. I just messed up this one with a strange bug…
Thanks for all your time and thoughts. Maybe it was for you cracks like for “Doctor House” with a strange sickness. To solve a case is interesting. But we all have better things to do, so I go the install-from-scratch-way.

Hi. just created 2 sites using buddy press
http://callcenterblogs.com
Okay, a couple of questions:
1. Which version of BuddyPress are you using?
2. What did you name the file?
3. Where did you place it?
Hi I you read this please know that this is the only way for me to communicate with Buddypress forum. I am cannot create any new post. I must be banded. I am not sure what I did wrong. You may be connected and tell the powers that. I have emailed Andy Peatling at his web contact form and I have had no response.
Just to show you: I created this post https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2092#post-11239 and it\’s non-existent as I create it. See if you can find it. It\’s an amazing shit feeling to be ignored even if buddypress is free.
This is how I did it.
I modified header.php in the buddypress theme AND the member theme.
There is probably a better way since the forums location is included as part of the integration, however it works, and you can use this principle to include a hard coded link to anywhere.
Find the bit of code that starts <div id="header">
The first bit is the routine to run the blogs page, the second opens up bbPress in a seperate tab.
`<?php if ( function_exists( ‘bp_blogs_install’ ) ) { ?>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG ) ) {?> class=”selected”<?php } ?>><a href=”<?php echo get_option(‘home’) ?>/<?php echo BP_BLOGS_SLUG ?>” title=”<?php _e( ‘Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>”><?php _e( ‘Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>
<li><a href=”http://www.mypartyonparty.biz/forums” target=”_blank” title=”<?php _e( ‘Support’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>”><?php _e( ‘Support’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?></a></li>
<?php do_action( ‘bp_nav_items’ ); ?>`
What I’d like to do is present the forums in the same way that is done on here (BuddyPress.org, ) that just needs a bit of thinking about…
Hope that helps
I\’m abit confused on this, is it a buddypress API or what?
However, go for it ,any ETA?
Has anyone had an opportunity to look at this yet–or even begin developing with it.
Please remember, as this is not (yet?) an official BuddyPress package, you should post any issues you find with bp-skeleton-component-1_2_URC1 in this thread and not in trac.
Of course, trac would not even be the proper place to post any issues with the official version of the skeleton component.
I smell iphone app in the works…
I have been trying to decide how to best deliver content to iphone users. I know most would be ok with the regular pages, but some want to feel special. The problem is my user base doesn’t have enough iphone users to warrent the extra development time for a free app.
