Thanks for the reply,
I will continue to look into the cause and effect of this strange behavior too, but in the mean time I have renamed my offending post and all is well once more.
I have BuddyPress set up both on locally and a live server so I am able to test/tweak/hack etc
Here are some things I will test to try and replicate this.
- Create a post called Blogs [something] on the main site so the slug reads blogs-[something]
- Create a similar post on a fake users blog with a similar name/slug of that above.
I tried to duplicate this on [myblog].testbp.org but all seemed normal, so I have a feeling it will only happen on the main blog.
Apologies for hijacking the thread, but it seems like even with my file in the wp-content/plugins/bp-languages folder, it still doesn’t seem to work.
My file is called en_US.mo cause I need to change a few words in buddypress (but not in WP Mu), but I didn’t change the WPLANG constant (though I’ve tried, not that it makes any sense changing it). Is that causing the non-translating-dom?
Many thanks!
I fired up another ticket on this. The fix for the infinite loop doesn’t seem to work. Running with that fix and it still happens. Other strange things happen as well. I disabled the blogs component in the mean time.
Ok, It looks better than before, but still some issue on width on my screen. The width exceeds my browser width and it extends on right hand side.
Not sure everyone has same problem as I am using mini-Laptop with resolution of 1024 x 600 (That may look odd but my screen is like that, can’t be any better)
Below are screenshots of my screen and I have circled the problematic areas.

I’m currently using future hosting VPS (futurehosting.biz) and am happy as pie. I spent hours researching VPS providers and it was down to SliceHost and Future Hosting. I decided to go with Future Hosting strictly based on cost vs. given resources.
I second the the fact that VPS or a Dedicated server is the best route. Shared hosting is great for a super small WPMU site, anything over a 50 or so active users your going to run into resource issues.
Has anyone messed around with Amazon’s EC2 and S3 services?

If you have permalinks up and running already, it shouldn’t be an issue with the .htaccess as buddypress uses existing permalinks. Do you have a cache plugin installed? Anything in your error logs? Have an example?
In terms of privacy of seeing profiles, this is coming in a later version by default, but for now, you can do what I proposed at the following:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=160
It just makes the entire buddypress-member theme from being no viewable by anyone but logged in members. The buddypress-home theme still is available for signups though.

I just deleted the subdomains that were created with the old system. Then I just put the following in my wp-config.php for WPMU:
define( 'NOBLOGREDIRECT', 'http://mydomain.com' );
That of course needs to be changed to your domain. What that does is take any random requests (in this case old reference requests) and sends them back to my main domain page. This also makes it so you don’t get the fancy signup page for random domains you are trying to register through the address and have to do it through your wp-signup.php page.
Since most registration works better for me through the main buddypress theme signup page, this change didn’t bother me at all. Plus it stopped all the requests giving errors or “signup pages” that came from the old URL’s.
Something to think about…

Andy i just tested and the members theme still has problems on profiles groups etc in IE6.

fused network should be avoided by all costs. im suspicious of their fake reviews, as they have a contest that says “write a review, win an iPod.”
here’s a good write up: http://www.hollywood-newsroom.com/tech/fused-network-review-sucks-avoid-for-wordpressmu-buddypress/
I can’t get the site wide tagging plugin to work properly at all with bp.
I remember testing it before I fired up bp and it seemed to work great. Now I don’t get the posts being replicated properly. Doesn’t create categories and it doesn’t use a permalink to the originating blog. I get permalinks to the ‘tag’ blog. Like they were created on the tag blog. Not much use that. It just acts flaky with bp installed.
I sure wish I could use it! That kind of functionality is pretty important in a blog community.
Strange…I think there is some modification in progress on the demo site. I tested it a while ago(at the time of my prev post) and it was giving 404 error. Now it shows broken pages.
BTW I hv only IE6 installed on XP Home. No IE 7 on my PC.
Cheers
The pages are viewable on IE6 but they look broken, dissordered, use: http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/ to test in iexplorer browsers without installing anything.
Who said it does not work it gives 404 must have IE7 and IE6 installed at the same time, and tryied to launch ie6… i guess, that usually does not work… if you want to test iexplore versions INSTALLED at the same time google MULTIPLEIEs application,download it and install it, or just use ttp://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/
cheers.

Actually, you’re right, as I now see with my latest attempt to install BP has gone relatively smoothly. I have a few issues, however, which maybe you or someone else can assist me with.
First issue: I have two existing members of my wpmu install, both on the main blog, and yet when I installed BP the links to their member pages will not work when I am logged in. The links are correct, in the sense that they point to the appropriate location (e.g url/members/admin/profile) but I get 404s every time. If I am logged out, however, I can find the member pages. Also, when I create a new user, the links work fine when logged in or out.
Second issue: When I created a new user, I made a comment on my site, and then went to check the “activity” stream to see if it showed up, but it doesn’t. Am I missing something? Isn’t this the sort of thing that should show up on activity page?
Thanks for the input!
hi
I just checked the demo site of buddypress in IE 6.0. When tried to view the members page, it returns 404 error. In firefox it works perfect.
E.g http://testbp.org/members/tangledcords/
This link worked in FF but shows 404 error in IE 6
Any news about the fix ? It could help us a lot !
Hi again. 
First, one important thing. In the first post I said that the left sidebar does not show anything at all. That is wrong. It shows “Who’s Online,” even if I have just 1 or 30 different widgets enabled in the administration-area.
When I remove the “Recent Blog Posts” widget from the center sidebar, then everything apperas as it should in the left sidebar.
I am using the latest versjon of WPMU, witch would be 2.6.3, and I am using the latest versjon of trunk.
The only changes I made to the theme, was chaning the site logo, witch originally say Buddypress.
I did install Buddypress a couple of days after WPMU was installed, but I can’t seem to understand that that would have anything to do with this Widget.
The problem occurs only when I am using the “Recent Blog Posts” widget in the center sidebar. You can see it all live on this test-site.:

If anyone har the opportunity to check if this is happening in your Buddypress-installation as well, that would be great.

I’m confused as to what isn’t working properly?
