Of course, sorry about the lack of information.

The theme I’m using is PlatformPro and we haven’t upgraded too WordPress 3.2.1 as some of the plugins (ie. the login bar) don’t work with 3.2.1 yet.
Thanks,

Hmm weird I’m seeing it working for me. I’m using the default BuddyPress theme and it shows friend activity for me.
My first thoughts are ‘maybe’ (long shot) a theme or plugin could be interfering – have you tried without plugins and using the default theme. Seems that probably wouldn’t cause that though.
Scratching my head a little as in a few tests I come up with it working for me sorry. Maybe someone else will be able to replicate if you can let us know your version for WordPress and BuddyPress and browser (long shot again that it’s browser but playing safe).
Interestingly enough, WordPress-side media uploads work just fine. Correct permission is assigned with those uploads, and also with BP Album+ (both come through at 644). It seems to be isolated to the avatar uploads in Buddypress only. The avatar uploads, but comes through at permission level 600. The file owner and group are the same as all of the other files uploaded as well, so it’s not a file ownership issue that I can see…
Good suggestion. I’ve opened a ticket: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3374
In the meantime, you could probably do something by filtering bp_get_activity_latest_update_excerpt.
OK, I manage another solution.
I’ll create a wordpress page for every group. But now, in every Group page, i want to insert a link to that group wp page. Anyone have an idea on how can i accomplish this?
I have installed on my computer and WordPress Xampp (updated).
I removed the multisite aspect from my site entirely and that seemed to have cleared up most of the issues I am having since the upgrade. Things look better now so maybe it wasn’t buddypress after all. After removing multisites though I had to redo all of the plug ins – maybe that’s why its better – I don’t know.
BP can be installed on the computer??
Because I try to install and have no success because the following error appears:
Fatal error: Can not redeclare bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring () (previously declared in C: xampp htdocs wordpress wp-content plugins BuddyPress -themes bp bp-default _inc ajax.php: 20) in C: xampp htdocs wordpress wp-content themes custom-community _inc ajax.php on line 63
And I don’t see any upgrades for those plugins. Also I noticed this buddypress.org site isn’t working properly either like I just tried to edit that last reply and it took me to a page not found. And all my recent activity is gone in the profile page. But at least it still looks good.
I’m using the Pagelines Pro and Pagelines Pro Base – according to them it is good to go for the upgrade. The only forms it is affecting is the ones associated with buddypress – like the boxes in the groups and forums for search, reply’s and the buddypress form add on’s for registration.
Andrea is right. Nothing about the WP 3.2.x Dashboard style changes should have affected anything on the front end of BP. It’s likely a plugin conflict, or perhaps your theme is out of date. What theme are you using?
Start upgrading your plugins too, and turn some off to see if they are interfering.
also get firebug to look at the styling on those boxes and see where it’s coming from.
Those are general multisite questions. 
“- Where is the code? Is it replicated, or pulled from a single location?”
One codebase. pulled from one spot.
“- Should I be worried about the load?”
by just turning on multisite? no.
“Can I keep it from loading on select sites?”
that admin bar? yes.
“- Can my messing about with BuddyPress somehow affect my other sites?”
depends. edit the files directly and whitescreen something and maybe it will show up everywhere. generally, no.
you read my blog now, right?

I think the answer is fairly varied. My view is do you want a community or just the upload bit? Do you want discussions around mix tapes? Favourites?
An upload and share nothing else yes could be done using a BuddyPress but it could also with just WordPress. I’d guess though the community stuff really would also be important right? If so then yes use BuddyPress. Sounds an interesting adaption of a BuddyPress site.
Threaded comments are built into WordPress and therefore BuddyPress but not in the forum section currently.
I’m not aware of this being on the roadmap but I did find a thread around the similar topic that may be of use to you.

I’m not 100% sure which plugin you mean I assume the WPMU DEV Membership Lite one? If so there is probably going to be a better method of knowing more by going to the wordpress.org forums and creating a post. You may also find your questions answered here: https://wordpress.org/tags/membership?forum_id=10
Not sure how updated this is but… : https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-group-documents/ – more for groups though.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/ may also be something useful to you.
Whatever method you go it’s going to be a plugin route really to get that working for all you list.
my2hands, you can just make your site a multi-author site, do-able in basic WordPress site. Posts by members will be shown in recent posts. Going further, set up code for member profile with conditional template tag which shows recent posts by said member using code in regular WP author template file.
Hey Everyone,
I wanted to give everyone an update as to the troubles I was experiencing and how they were resolved.
First–the email problem seems to have been fixed with the SMTP plugin. Thanks again mercime!
The Parse error and warning message we were receiving have been rectified by a server-side fix. We run a VPS with Lunarpages and come to find out a component called suPHP was not installed (suPHP is apparently what shared servers run, and seems to be pretty important in ensuring the basic functionality in WordPress and Buddypress actually works by allowing web users to write to the directories without changing the directory permissions to the dreaded, unsecure 777). By installing and setting up suPHP in addition to running PHP 5.2.11, the parse errors, warnings, and image uploading permission problems have been fixed, as well our WordPress-writable file/directory permissions are functioning perfectly at 755 and more sensitive file permissions are at 644.
So overall, most of the fix was rooted in our VPS not running suPHP and needing to get it installed and configured correctly.
I hope this helps someone else out there experiencing the same problems as we were!
@roman – As long as you are running BP 1.2.9, you shouldn’t experience the WPDB error described above.
hi, did the same stupid thing by mistake. updated to wp 3.2.1.
which is the best known way to just get back to the latest known as working version of wp?
thanks!
Would be the same as moving a WordPress site. because that’s what you have. Your new host will probably even move it for you. Good ones do.
