This isn’t exactly what you asked for, but in lieu of that this will at least encourage completion.

You’re right it could be better commented, but in BP’s defense, this is a core WP functionality, and part of just about every modern theme 
https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_comments
Which comments are you talking about ?
Blog comments ?
See here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comment_time
To do this, If you use BP 1.2.8, go to bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php or better to the functions.php of your child theme
In file there is a function bp_dtheme_blog_comments
Near line 78 change
`
to this
`
how to embed this function into your theme’s function ? read here:

And you know that even network activated, all users have their BP profile on the main site?
BuddyPress is network-wide, not blog specific.
“One way you can prevent BP in main site or secondary site from importing data from all sites is by marking e.g. My Blog in Settings > Permalnks – “I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors” or even choose additional options with https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/more-privacy-options/”
Which blocks search engines as well. 
Better off to mark the blog as mature instead.
i can’t but i can use a trick to make it work in wordpress
anyway, can you tell me how to edit .mo file? not the .po or .pot
and can you tell me how to add near the username filed (a description so i can tell users to register with english names for it to work?
thx in advance
If you disable BuddyPress, can you register such a name with just WordPress?
If you can, we have a bug. If you can’t, then WordPress doesn’t support it.
Then as nexia mentioned above, that is a custom job. BP is network-activated i.e. by default for all sites of a multisite installation.

Do you mean you want to delete BuddyPress? https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/deleting-buddypress/
that´s nice. but i think you got me wrong.

First pass at this is now in BuddyPress trunk. It relies on this WordPress core patch to prevent the following from occurring:
To see my approach in code, check out r4151 and r4152
Yes that is what I am referring to the 103 theme. I used the current buddypress default theme when I did the update (to get the site working), but it appears to be a blogging theme (a more traditional WordPress one) and not a social networking theme like the 103 was. My home page had no blog at all on it and was oriented to widgets that provided resources and the blog area was on another page. I would like to get the 103 theme working in a compliant version but it is not listed in the themes section so I assumed it had not been updated. If you know where there is a compatible version please let me know and I will check it out (it would save me many hours of work).
Thanks
== I have 40 entires as custom post types in a custom directory lists. ==
Supposed to be that Custom Post Types could be exported in Tools > Export from old site and then use Tools > Import WP WXR in new site. I haven’t had the occasion to test it yet, but per this WP trac, it’s supposed to have been fixed already https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14306. The best bet would be to check it yourself in a test install or in your new one at the other domain.
== I had no idea Fantastico was so bad, are lots of people finding holes in it? ==
It should be outlawed
btw, as i’m working on a tool right now that integrate the Buddypress Adminbar inside the official WordPress Adminbar, here is the setting i added when thinking of you:
http://nexialys.net/nex_bp_adminbar/nex_bp_adminbar_settings.png
@rossagrant shucks, before you mentioned that changing usernames/passwords affected all other themes, I was going to write that you should get theme support from @Bowromir again
Seriously though, there’s a silver lining to discovering about the perils/shortcomings of Fantastico this early in your installation – knowing never to use it again for another developer installation as @nexia said. There are many who have posted their woes in WP.org forums. Shaving off a few minutes of uploading WP manually, creating a database and installing WP is not worth the hours wasted on a shaky foundation set up via Fantastico.
At this stage, it’s a blessing you only have 4 members a few groups etc which you can recreate later on. So it would come as no surprise that I would recommend starting your installation from scratch – clean and solid – after making DB and server files backup (just in case). Contact your webhost tech support on how to delete WP and Fantastico files properly. There’s one topic in WP.org forums which gives a clue but no actual solution https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fantastico-problem?replies=1 so you need your webhost tech support on this one.
Plugin probably wasn’t by Andy FWIW. There’s a bug on the bp.org plugin groups section that sometimes defaults to Andy being the plugin author.
If it’s an admin menu problem, then read the post on the BP development blog:
http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/02/24/updating-your-buddypress-plugins-for-1-2-8/
Or:
http://code.ipstenu.org/2011/wordpress-3-1-network-menu/
It’s a windows (iis) server and the index.php is a default wordpress functionality.
Just look at the permalink structure of wordpress and you’ll see it!
but still the problem isn’t resolved…
So anyone any tips?
@Nexia very much looking forward to this.. and I’m pretty sure it will be added to BP 1.3.. I think it’s a very important feature. On question.. could you change the profile link in the left-top of the bar (which also shows the gravatar) to show the user avatar and direct to their BP profile instead of their backend wordpress profile? That would be neat!
Thanks for doing this
ok, so you tell us that you’re using the Auto-Install-Wordpress from your host? … like hostgator offers…
forget that, you have two choices then: keep everything like generated by the installer, or drop everything and install WP on your own, entirely… you can’t do a thing else than that. no need to explain.
