It seems not so simple for me.
Here is my Buddypress installation:
http://social.xenialab.com/
I’ve asked to my provider for GD Library and they confirmed me everything is installed… Infact her this script works:
http://social.xenialab.com/gd/gdresize.php
and also here the GD library seems ok:
http://webx92.aruba.it/ver.php
BUT STILL THE AVATARS ARE NOT SHOWED !
Any other idea ?

You can always check out TRAC to see if anyone reported it as well. I have a ticket for this at:

Whoa, that’s confusing because a user was plugging in my display/screen name, they would have no way of knowing the user name unless they look at the status bar path which the average user will never do. I guess the auto complete function will take care of that when it rolls out hopefully soon.
Thanks again for all the hard work here Andy. You and the team are doing some real inspirational work here with buddypress! Not only on the development and visual side, but also on being reactive the all the threads floating around your forums and answering them in a timely fashion.
Can you post both of these as bugs at: https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket and they’ll get addressed.
Hey Andy, I’m sure your busy getting the beta ready and all but just wanting to check the status of the group forums… is it looking likely that group forums will make the feature list for the Dec 15 beta or should we be looking to implement an alternative forum solution for now?
Appreciate all your hard work on BuddyPress… you’re making all our lives that much easier! 
Thanks gpo1 – I’m glad you like it! Fingers crossed the Beta version clears up all the IE issues!
Tyna, I like your site very much,but the IE issue I think it would be resolved when the beta version comes out!
I hope…
Wow gogoplata – thanks for all the information!
did a new install at screamings.com
not public. afew things like “my blogs” see broken
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…
