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?
The sitewide activity, members, and groups are all widgets which would simply needed to be added to your sidebar. Other than that its as simple as installing BuddyPress and your main site will be maintained while the profiles will assume the new theme.
If you’d like to see a more custom example, check out MMAFrenzy.com where I integrated the profiles into my own design but for basic functionality and maintaining your own theme its just a basic install.
Hope that helps, feel free to ask any questions so I can hopefully clear them up for you.
Using a clean version of the latest trunk from trac.buddypress.org?
I have it setup at MMAFrenzy.com. Only soft-launched at this point while I tie up a few loose ends but it’s going great so far and has customized rather easily.
I’m with Media Temple on the base DV with BuddyPress and its great, plus it easily scales up when your site grows (I currently fluctuate between two plans depending on traffic). MT has all the requirements for BuddyPress and a lot more. I’ve been with them for almost two years, so if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.
https://buddypress.org/forums/search.php is the correct link for the forum search function. Why it isn’t linked on the forum or in the sidebar I don’t know but that’s where you can access it at.
Did you manually approve the comment? I’ve encountered a bug where BuddyPress says I’ve published a post and/or when really I’ve only approved one from another author.
I’d file a ticket on trac.buddypress.org as this is something I’ve also run into.
Thanks ron_r but I don’t think that link works:
404: Not Found
Seems as though we couldn't find what you're looking for. You may have come from an old outdated link.

I’m sure google is on this, so we can just google site:buddypress.org
