Plugin Hall of Shame! :) Plugin Devs Please Read
-
Based on this topic.
Plugin Authors — If your plugin does not appear in the “Confirmed Update Friendly” PLEASE UPDATE IT ASAP. It’s really important as your plugins are crashing/have the potential to crash user’s WordPress installations when BuddyPress is updated. This reflects poorly on the project, even though BP is not the problem.
This will take you less than 5 minutes to do if you create a loader.php file and add the code in the link below, then just include your existing main plugin file when BuddyPress has loaded.

Please post a followup message if you have updated your plugin, or if you find any other plugins that crash.
Checking your BuddyPress plugins
Deactivate all of your plugins. Individually activate a single BuddyPress plugin. If it activates and you do not get a white screen or white screen with error message, then the plugin is update friendly. Otherwise please post it in this thread to add to the hall of shame! If you get a white screen then to fix this remove the plugin folder from wp-content/plugins/
