I have posted what worked for me in that thread.

– the same situation for testbp.org. starting from member-themes. What is the reason? How to solve?

Hi Burt,
Actually, the problem I was describing was being produced from that bpmember file and it was present in both the default theme and the facebuddy theme. I wasn’t trying to modify or change anything. It appeared to be a bug of some kind.
As it was, due to another topic which I thought you and I had resolved, changing my username and then deleting the old one, came around and bit me after I deleted the old user name and was denied total and complete access to my installation. So I spent 3 hours late last night reuploading and installing Buddypress.
Now the issue in this topic has disappeared but I still have not activated all of the plugins so I shall hold off on declaring this completely resolved.
Thanks,
Brian
Cheers Jeff – didn’t realise you needed to set the threads as resolved. Will do in future!
Hi,
I’ve upgraded from the old Buddypress version to the latest. Have followed the instructions etc. However, when I’m activating the new version the admin bar acting weird by being placed in the footer as you can see on this screenshot (soccerstar.org/adminbar.jpg).
Why is that?
Kind regards,
Daniel
Matt, thanks for your reply. After I tried your suggestion I realized I made a horrible mistake during WPMU installation.
The Permalinks are directed towards http://andrewliesenfeld.com/blogs/variableurl
instead of http://andrewliesenfeld.com/site/variableurl
that’s why all the links on the blog were working but not for BP.
Since, I really haven’t involved myself much in developing it and instead just devoted my time to fixing it…I have no problems just re-installing WPMU + BP correctly and under the /site/ directory so there won’t be any problems.
Thanks for your help!,
Andrew

According to the recently published Buddypress roadmap (https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/) privacy controls will be included in Version 1.2 – no date assigned yet.
Thanks Mike,
I have been trying to figure out how to include that in the screen that comes up after a user enters their registration details and clicks next. Would you know what I have to edit?
Actually the problem is not only with activation emails..all emails generated by buddypress (alerts about private messages etc) seem to be going to the spam folders.
does anyone know if anythings happening with this?
Oh man… that sounds like a mammoth of a project. Here’s the dealbreaker, though — and I speak from personal experience — if you’ve already got something else running in your root directory, it’s not gonna work. And it actually says so in the WPMU readme file…
“If you want subdomain blogs, you must use the root of your site.”
Assuming you didn’t have anything installed in your root, I’m pretty sure there’s no plugin/patch job that exists yet to hook up multiple installations of BuddyPress so that a single user could hop around from site to site. I suppose if they registered every time with the same username/password, they could just rely on the “saved password” feature most browsers already have — but that’s probably not what you’re looking for.
Here’s a shot in the dark.
Go to your permalinks setting page and resubmit it. You don’t have to change anything.
I have found that has fixed some of my page issues when I was under the hood constructing new pages by hand.
Just a thought.
Good one, P.S.. 
This one could be great using as a temporary solution. Does anyone of you guys know when this will be a feature in Buddypress? Days,? Weeks or mabye months?
The plugin is working just fine with WPMU, but to be quite honest I don’t understand what good this one will do to a wpmu-installation running Buddypress.
Gpo1, Why are you posting this? Can you explain what you think this plugin will give anyone? Just wondering cause I just don’t get it..
I absolutely LOVE BuddyPress! I’m in the process of creating a social network and BP has been a dream come true.
Not only do I love BP, but I also love the design of the main .org website. I just wanted to let the BP creators/designers know about an article I published where I showcased your design. You can read it at http://www.fresheventure.com/827/best-wordpress-website-designs-2009/. It’s a work in progress list of the best WordPress website designs of 2009. At the end of the year, I plan to put the list to a vote!
I hope it’s ok that I posted in this forum – I just want the BP developers to know about the article. If I should post somewhere else or use a contact form instead, please let me know.

Here’s the deal. I had successfully installed WPMU + BuddyPress into my root directory for my website (andrewliesenfeld.com) when I then decided I should move it to a sub directory (andrewliesenfeld.com/site) and stupidly enough thought I could do so without looking at any instructions.
From there I fell into alot of problems trying to get the directories corrected and the URL’s set right. I did all that and now everything is working fine..except BuddyPress. BuddyPress was working great before I moved it but now every time I try to open a page under “My Account” I seem to always receive a Not Found page. I don’t know what to do. I have searched and searched and found many problems similar if not the exact same to mine and there were few of those topics around. Basically they said it was your .htaccess that needed correcting but the problem is I have tried to correct my .htaccess and it hasn’t helped my situation.
So if anyone can help me that would be wonderful!
Thanks,
Andrew

Achieved partial success. Followed the site-wide.css advice mentioned in this forum by zeitwise and was able to eliminate the main profile ‘blogs’ nav item but the sub navigation ‘blogs’ component remains;
found the most important clue so far in this file:
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php
on lines 56 – 104
but still elusive.
Tried following Tim Moore suggestion of bp-custom.php but that did not do anything.
Tried following Enlightenmental1 suggestion of renaming bp-blogs.phpDISABLED but that turned off all blogs including the home blog which I still find useful.
This coding seems to be all over the place. Any other ideas from anyone?
Goal: eliminate the ‘Blogs’ in the Me menu and the Options or Other User menu. Have succeeded in hiding Blogs in the Me menu but no luck for the other two.
Thanks,
Brian

I am using Buddypress 1.0.1 and added code:
<img src=”http://www.smallinternetbusiness.com/wp-content/images/search_engine_optimization_consultant.jpg”/>
It only displayed the tag “<img>” instead of the image on the homepage.
I noticed the above code is added to Buddypress 1.0.1. Any ideas on if I am doing anything wrong or is there a code widget problem

Congratulations! This has been a long haul for you.
Why does the wpmu installer mention to not use 127.0.0.1?
Haha! Good question. I have not installed a brand new instance of WPMU for awhile so I cannot remember exactly what the installer indicates. But, I don’t think it says don’t use 127.0.0.1. Does it?
I believe it says use localhost.localdomain which if you do, the installer comes back and says, “WPMU only works without the port number in the URL.” So, when installing on a localhost environment–at least on a Mac–you’re stuck wondering what is going on.
But, this is why using the local IP address worked. It is the actual address of the local machine mapped to the alias called localhost. So, by using this, you don’t need to include the port number.
Hi Jeff,
i set up everything again (deleted complete wpmu and database). I changed host from localhost to 127.0.0.1 as u described above, even if wpmu claims to not use localhost or 127.0.0.1 as host. Now everything ist working without a problem!
Why does the wpmu installer mention to not use 127.0.0.1 ?!
Okay, locking this thread as the answer can now be found here.

Hi –
As I was preparing for a SSO integration, I made the mistake of changing my site admin username in the mysql db.
HUGE MISTAKE!
I am now logged in as an administrator, and have lost my access privileges to the site admin.
Any ideas how to restore this? Okay, I went in and changed the username back and all is well.
So now a rhetorical question for Andy – could you send me instructions on how to change my admin username? Is it possible? With SSO, you have an external source that sends a username and password. It compares that with what is in the buddypress db and gives access or creates a new account.
Since the folder will be protected as well, I really need to change username to what is used in the SSO, otherwise I will have to create a second account in the SSO just for buddypress.
Thanks
Brian
hi, i want ask it is possible to make that in Site Wide Activity will write then user add new photo to his album ?

Hi again Mike,
I checked into Ning quite some time ago. I was never comfortable with their spam protection or was I comfortable putting my data in the hands of some outside organization. By concerns turned out to be well founded.
“Clients of Ning are outraged [Link disabled by Ning] over a decision that Ning made public last week. The software maker sent out an email to all of its clients, those who have created a social network on Ning, stating that they would email all members of all websites who use the Ning software to promote the newly designed Ning.com.
http://www.chartingstocks.net/2009/03/ning-exposed-tech-company-ning-scams-its-clients/
“Please do not send the email to my members. I pay you not to advertise on my site and I don’t think you should target my members directly,†says one Ning network creator and paying customer. Ning charges network creators to keep all Ning promotional links off their site. Some members have been paying this fee for years and so are even more upset at the direct email marketing campaign. Why pay the fee?
To make matter worse, the new Ning.com combines all member data from all websites created using the Ning system. The owners of the websites have no option to opt out or remove their members. There’s going to be a lot of explaining to do when members see their own picture, profile, and information on Ning.com, a website that most members have never even heard of.”
There are other white label sites, but they all basically have the same problem. I, the owner, am beholden to whoever is running the software for me. I have no control.
