Angel Does Buddypress ;)

And so we test another site…

Seems thats all I do recently, test sites LOL

Well, I put my BuddyPress on last night and am calling for volunteers to help me test it.  People seem to prefer my other blogs at present, the mu-wordpress.  Cant blame them not wanting to try something new but I wish SOMEONE  would come over LOL

So what do I think at present?

* I need a search feature on the front page.  People need to be able to search immediately for a site or interest they have without having to join.

* REALLY would like the forums set up soon :)   That would be an excellent feature.

*Some sort of explanation to newbies built in to tell them that they have to set up their home base to be involved.  Seems quite obvious to us but it isnt to newbies to building sites, and, after all, thats what people that build one of these sites is aiming to attract.  So perhaps automatically on the emails sent out to new members, or in larger print or flashing neon letters in the admin area for them, BUILD YOUR HOME BASE TO BE INVOLVED LOL

    You can get the search feature, by configurating the widgets (adding the search widget to your panel)(but I see you’re not using the widget enabled theme)
    I’m sure there’s a way round it with this theme
    Yes forums would be great too (I’ve tested a great forum plugin for wordpress, but I’ve no idea if it’s possible in mu ??

    Well most of the plugins work for mu and, on the other site I have which is just mu, I will be putting one on for them which they can activate if they want it.

    I see in our group section here though that bbPress will be enabled for the BuddyPress community bit and that would be brilliant!!
