    I am new to buddypress. I am trying to develop a social network site where people post the pictures (photo sharing) and get instant comment. I have several questions, but will start with few:

    1. How do I search for related themes where user upload pictures and also view recently uploaded pictures and comments. I am looking for simple theme that works well with images.
    2. I am trying to understand how are images stored in the database that are uploaded by users. I looked at buddypress DB schema and don’t see any blob columns.

    At this point I have wordpress installed and I will be installing buddypress today.

    1. Themes
    Current gallery/media plugins (free and paid) compatible with BuddyPress use the bp-default theme structure. So either you create a custom theme that’s a child theme of bp-default theme or be prepared to customize any other WP theme or custom BuddyPress theme to work with the gallery plugin’s.

    2. Image storage
    Images are physically stored in your server for some gallery plugins. Other BuddyPress-compatible gallery plugins require you to store your images in their servers and make you pay for extra storage.
