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.
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 It’s likely a plugin conflict, or perhaps your theme is out of date.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?
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.
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 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.
I finally solved the problem completely. Turns out the template pack plugin got deleted. All is well now.
