Wow gogoplata – thanks for all the information!

Tyna:
The IE and avatar issues are known and fixes are in progress. There’s no timetable but as soon as the problems are resolved the fixes will be rolled out.
As a fix for the improper titles (“Nothing found for…” etc.) I highly recommend installing the All in One SEO Pack Plugin. Besides being the best SEO plugin for WordPress imo, it will also take care of those titles, replacing them with the title of your choosing. I use my site title, for example.
Finally, the bbPress dual-login issue is a WPMU and bbPress cookie issue, not an issue with BuddyPress. I’ve found it’s easiest to just have users login a second time rather than mess with the cookies until the bbPress component is added to BuddyPress and bbPress 1.0 is finalized.

Fresh install, going into a brief beta and hoping to launch publicly in January.
We’ve been working with Lisa Sabin Wilson of eWebscape who built a custom BuddyPress installation on our newly launched site http://www.weheartthis.com
(Andy – We love it so far and think it will really help us build a great community!)
Some of the biggest issues we’ve faced:
1) IE issues – page alignment is off, toolbars do not work, lots of 404 messages (we’ve encouraged our members who use IE to download Firefox or Safari instead, fingers crossed that the official release will help with some of these bugs)
2) We have the same avatar cropping issue as mentioned by other posters – it’s very hit or miss for us, sometimes it works fine, sometimes it just can’t be done at all)
3) The browser title bar will read, “oops, that’s a 404 page” or “nothing found for ____” even when it isn’t a 404 page or it has found something.
4) We have installed BBpress forums as well. The password and login of our member works for both applications, but members need to login at second time when they land on the forum main page (even if they have already logged in earlier)
Thanks (and any feedback on the site is appreciated.)
I have installed a fresh version of WPMU and Buddypress and I am getting the same issue. If I type in “/blog/news/” it works, but not “/news” as the link in the theme has it.
Here’s beta of what I’m doing…
http://www.myyoungartist.com
vanilla install
no extraplugins added
wordpress mu in subdomain mode,
eg:blog.screamings.com
theme:buddypress-home and member
site:screamings.com
have the same problem about blogs not getting attached to the profile
andy, if you want i can give you access to the admin section and server so that you can take a look.Just email me at saurabhmutha@gmail.com
I believe there is an easy way around this. I’m using the sub directory approach. All I had to do is update the Category base to blog/news and then just update the path in the header.php file under the buddypress-home directory (the one in themes), so the new list item changes to this: <li<?php if(bp_is_page('news')) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a>/blog/news" title="News">News</a>
Seems to work for me with no issues at all.
Thanks for all the hard work on this Andy and team, you’ve done something pretty amazing here and you need to know that it’s appreciated!
I created a ticket, but suspect that this will be introduced later.

I have WPMU installed on the root and buddypress installed at /wp-content/mu-plugins.
You can see the behavior by going to it: http://pedaltowork.org/
Maybe someone can help.
Under buddypress-member/blogs there are several files and it seems like one of these could be bp-wp-dashboard that would basically open wp-admin/index.php but just in the Content div of the members page.
At least that is what I am going to attempt using brute force with no elegant methods.
What I can’t find, after two minutes of looking–I will do more, is what file to add “Blog dashboard” to so it will show under the create blog link (or above, whatever) on domain.com/members/username/blogs
I also don’t know without testing if it will work, but since the “create blog” works that way….why not.
I would like something in that direction, too. A “normal” user, even without a blog, should NEVER be redirected to the WPMU-Backend. Because it is just confusing…
Only if one has to admin it’s own blog, should they see the backend. That would be ok for me 
.
But maybe that is possible to change somewhere (per example, when the normal WP-Login Screen appears (sorry, I am a Greenhorn, but I am learning by doing and by your feedbacks – thanks for that!!!)
Just to say it once again (from time to time I have to say it): BUDDYPRESS ROCKS!!!!!
I really have nothing to add. Just watching this thread ’cause I surely would like bp and the tags plugin to play nice with each other. This is just a long winded bump.
my blog is installed in root but using a subdomain like http://buddypress.domain.com and new blogs are created in subfolders…

Are you both installing BuddyPress in the root, subdirectory or subdomain? There are problems at the moment if BuddyPress is installed in a sub dir. These will be fixed very soon.

yes… if you running manage VPS just asking your provider to install GD image library, and upload back your image and it’s work for me…
The Recent Blog Posts and the Site Wide Activity widgets both have code that restricts them to blog id 1.
The Recent Blog Posts widget lives in the mu-plugins/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-widgets.php file. There are two of those nasty blog id 1 checks at line #8 and line #30. Same thing exists in the mu-plugins/bp-activity/bp-activity-widgets.php file.
If you want ‘News’ to work in the home theme then modify themes/buddypress-home/functions.php on lines #49-#50. I just commented them out.
I’m guessing that the thinking behind this restriction is “Get it to work first, then get it to work everywhere”. Kinda like narrowing the possibilities for problems that are gonna exist anyway, down to something trackable. If you browse the forums here and on wpmu you quickly see that wpmu can be installed in about 97 different ways on 205,478 hosts. Slap on a major component like buddyPress, then let noobs like me loose upon the face of the world who want to play with my toys ‘my way’ and I understand the thinking.
cool, this is gr8 news i would like to get start once again testing this. thumps up guys i hope 1st release will have gr8 things in hand.
I’m already using buddypress with the most recent SVN builds of WordPress MU based on 2.7 with no problems… for testing purposes only mind, WPMU 2.7 still has a bit of work to be done before it’s production ready .
That is part of the roadmap and I believe it will be in the first release of buddypress as well.
If it isn’t showing up in the admin area, it must just be a naming problem. It should be the structure of:
/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/
It would seem that maybe there might be a typo on the member-theme versus member-themes or something similar?
I have problem with saving the edited file. I edit the .po file with poedit, but have the problem with editing the line “You have one new message.” where is located in file on 1335 line
1335 msgid “You have one new message.”
1336 msgid_plural “You have %s new messages.”
1337 msgstr[0] “”
1338 msgstr[1] “”
The Poedit can’t edit this line and I can’t save the file.
Give me error:
01:52:12:
