This was an issue but it was attended to with a workaround by Boone with a little help from me ( well I discovered it 
) it predates the favorite issue and shouldn’t be apparent but it’s a while since I looked.
I am using cometchat quite successfully and it works great with BP. It is a single-user sign in and pulls avatars and passwords from your wordpress/bp site. You can choose to have friend-to-friend chats or make public/ private rooms… You can also choose not to have it appear for non-logged in users. You can also have other modules like Wibya chat… I have had not one issue with it on my site. It is a little heavy for shared-hosting… if you have a VPS 512 Meg plus, you should be fine. It’s well worth the $49 U.S. dollars. They are working on version 3.0 and it should be out within the next 2 months, so it should be getting better (free upgrades for those of you within the year of your purchase).
Not aware of any current issues regarding this. We have fixed a situation where when a private group’s member could favourite an item, which then any other site member could view that single item by going to the group member’s profile and viewin their favourites. This is going to become BuddyPress 1.2.9 this weekend.
If you think you’ve found an issue, please consider any conflicts with other plugins (or by using any theme other than BP-Default) and give clear instructions how to recreate.
I am having the same issue… I’m not a super techie so can someone clarify whether there is some way around this now? I am using 1.2.8 and WP 3.1
Members are able to comment on so-called private forums. They appear in the normal flow of posts, but a further glitch: when you click their name you don’t go to their profile, you get redirected to the site homepage.
In case anyone else has the same issue, I switched to BuddyPress Private Community pluign and that seems to sort everything out fine.
@philsquires wait for 24 hours before bumping your topic.
You would need to create a plugin for that private diary/blog and look at how it’s done in BuddyPress Docs plugin.
==The weird thing is that links to the BP components pages like forums and groups are working while your regular WP Pages are not working.==
==Wait, did you make those Pages > “Private” in Page Write/Edit Panel? That’s one scenario which could cause that behavior.==
Just checked this all pages are public, very strange don’t get this at all?
== 404 errors on those pages ==

@naijaping can you share what caused the overflow and how you resolved this?
can admin close this , it has been sorted
I know that the premium Gravity Forms plugin can be integrated with BuddyPress in general, but to attach that form specifically to certain group/s would require extra coding to achieve this on your part.
Right, but I want to have a form for just that group as well that is created with a form plugin. Is there a way to limit that?

If you create a hidden group, only group admin and invited members of the group can access these pages.
I mistakenly posted above, we are using “database” caching. Object caching did not work for us and caused many problems with others seeing other users names appear when viewing private messages as well as other object cache related issues.
I just changed a group from “private” to “public” and all the posts went away. I went back to “Private”, and they came back.
Hmm…
I tested this on my site.
I have a private group with all the activity stream posts, so I set it to “Public” and they all did indeed disappear.
It is a shared hosting.. .
plugins :
akismet,bp-album,buddypress,buddypress-links,buddypress-registration-groups,buddypress-sliding login panel,category-post,exlude-pages,inbox-widget,post-highlihts,private-buddypress & wp-fb-autoconnect
I dont thinkt that this plugins can do this.
Just tested and the comment notification emails have errors as well.
I am using WPMU with BuddyPress.
Emails and their status
– Signup confirmation (error)
– Password reset (ok)
– Comment notification on blog posts (error)
– Private messaging (ok)
– User mentions ( @user) (ok)
– Friend request (ok)
I have the same situation. I think I am going to solve mine by using private groups for each set. I haven’t actually gotten there yet, so not sure how well it will work.
now everything works fine in bluehost web hosting. yahoo sucks with buddypress. got no choice but to change web hosting.
W3 Total Cache is developed with Dedicate hosting or VPS hosting on mind.
That is not true. W3 Total Cache said, “Compatible with shared hosting, virtual private / dedicated servers and dedicated servers / clusters.”
With a Shared hosting, most of the advantage of W3 Total Cache are missed out.
Can you elaborate what are missed out?
But since my site is under developing
You don’t have much traffic that is what shared hosting is for. Do you know how to pilot? There is a learning curve to optimizing your site.
Figured it out, for my purposes, I’m using the ScholarPress plugin, which makes it much easier. I actually created the multi-site setup and found it was far more than I wanted to maintain.
