Does it require any theme changes from 1.6?
No changes were made to the theme.
Two things..first, terrified to update..last one cost me tons of work..crashed everything. Second, this is directly to George: Your BP Lots Feeds..accommodates my need for feeds in Forums..does it still work with the new updates? Not been updated for a while.
If the Buddypress 1.6.1 has forums feed already, where the heck do I find them.

@susan — backup before any update! Then, worst case, you can restore from the backup if anything goes wrong.
Ah, found the Feed, Still curious about the plugin though.
I updated one of my ttest sites and activity comments started giving me errors, haven’t looked into it further.
I had to deactivate all other BP related plugins to upgrade to 1.6.1 – then the upgrade went smoothly and I reactivated all the other BP plugins – so far so good…
I found BP Gallery produces an “internet explorer cannot display the page” error when trying to enter groups since upgrading to 1.6.1
@zillabuggs best place to get support for BP Gallery is with plugin dev @sbrajesh at BuddyDev.com forums
I usually have to do the following to upgrade buddypress:
– Full instance backup with my host
– Deactivate all BP plugins (not deact BP itself as it crashes my server)
– Replace via SFTP the buddypress folder with the new version
– Reactivate all BP related plugins
– Pray that the server does not fall over in the next 5 minutes….
It works
