Is wpmu installed in the document root? Nothing but problems otherwise. So I hear from reading threads here in the forums.
Not sure about a group blog, but there is going to be a group forum. It isn’t done yet, but is on the list of upcoming features.
Yes BP is designed to work on $blog_id = 1 but there is no reason you can’t copy the widgets and create your own.
Perhaps in future versions of BuddyPress, you will be able to set where you want BuddyPress to be hosted along with the ability to set widgets as global or single blog.
(we also would like to let our future users use some of the widgets – but are working on a few other bits and pieces atm – I might create a patch when I free up some time)
I have searched the forums to answer this question with no success – but I hope I am not repeating a topic.
I really like everything about BuddyPress and its users – social networking for social people, I think I speak for everybody when I say ‘ask your question anyway and someone will try and answer’

We’re interested in integrating a forum and defining new css next
Thanks
ps: we’re having issues with cropping of avatars
hey…..im running a german site called iBlogle.de
Im also using a bbPress Forum with it…..forum.iBlogle.de
And the Ipod Touch News Blog iTouchable.de is also hosted by BuddyPress with its own bbPress forum…forum.iTouchable.de
And all these Sites are usable with only one Account….although ive a little problem with the cookie sharing between the TLD….so one has to login into both pages!
This is a known issue and an official fix is in the works, but in the meantime here’s a solution to improve the bar in IE7:

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:

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.

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.
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 You may have come from an old outdated link.
Use the menu above to find your way.
I’m sure google is on this, so we can just google site:buddypress.org
You could share it here in the forums to start
I have used Media Temple for WPMU sites in the past and the Grid is better than most shared hosts, but really WPMU itself can grow past resources quickly. That is why VPS or dedicated is recommended, though many still say they are fine on a shared host if their bandwidth and userbase is low. Other great VPS providers include Slicehost.com and Futurehosting.biz
Getting recommendations for hosts is covered extensively in the WPMU forums, so you might want to pop by for a search there.

I am considering creating a social network, and I wish to pre-define the groups, which would therefore provide structure to the forum topics within groups. If the network members were allowed to create groups, I see potential overlap (in my particular community) in topics, discussions, etc. I wish to keep it simple to my own pre-defined groups or groups I choose to add in the future. Quoting from About Buddy Press:
“Groups also include a group forum (bbPress), wire, and photo gallery. These features can be selectively disabled by group creator.”
When I enable the group forum, I believe that limiting group creation will keep forums more organized and therefore, more easily navigated by members.
So that’s why.
If this isn’t possible, then I would ask, is it possible to use the forum without the groups? Or would that entail a separate installation of bbPress?
First of all you’ll want to get set up with an installation of WPMU and make sure that is running correctly.
It’s probably a good idea to head over to the WPMU forums where there are a lot of expect WPMU users (https://mu.wordpress.org/forums). They will be able to help you get started with MU.
Once you have that up and running, come back here and we can guide you through installing BuddyPress on top.
I did notice that Andy was asking for help on this topic. I have been looking into it and posting for help on various forums around the web, but from the research I have done so far it appears that it’s almost impossible to have a dropdown menu work correctly in IE without Javascript. Unfortunately none of the javascript options are working for me as well. I’ll keep looking into it.
my mistake was that i uploaded all files in plugin directory .. i forgot to put the theme in the themes directory.. once you do that, the current theme of buddypress shows up..
regardless, even after that there are bugs like https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=141 and https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=97 which need to be sorted out
how come theres no link to that anywhere? wierd
I think there needs to be an is_page() check done before the URL hijacking takes place. Can you submit a ticket for this at: https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket (wp.org support forum login creds)
