Sorry guys but here is a rage attack…….
I am just fed up to the back teeth of my messages not showing in my inbox. Other people on my site get theirs but I cant even see them in my inbox, and if I go to read one from an email, or try to read the one that I CAN see, i get blank pages.
My site activity in my profile is STILL showing gobbledygook and I am on the latest trunk version (at present thats 547.
So I am about to give up completely and just use MU as MU
There are about 50 damn places to put queries and problems and the only one I seem to get answered on where I can find it again easily is here. In the ticket section, when I go to see my tickets it says I havent got any… YES I HAVE!! I always let the coders know immediately I have an issue. I havent got the time to keep clicking on a group toi read what may, or may not be there waiting. My tickets say I have no tickets, and so I am plastering it here and I am sorry but WHY CANT I SEE MY SITE ACTIVITY and WHY CANT I READ MY MESSAGES
I KNOW its hard and I know its building up and I know it will be great but I really needed to vent.
To anyone new reading this. BP is basically fantastic and it is being built up really quickly and with remarkable skill… Its just mine that seems to zonk out and noone can tell me why, so dont blame BP itself.
Sorry… end of rage attack

thats nice for you. I am pleased.
You dont know me or what I know. I understand totally about open source and such and I am very aware that others are not having problems etc etc etc.
You didnt read the post fully. I SAID it wasnt BP fault, and I said sorry and I said I needed to rant. I have every right. Did you watch the vid I put on? You can see that I AM having issues.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. It can be really frustrating, I know. I’ve no idea how to help you, though.

Thank you. I had no real problems until about 15 trunks ago. It was on a working MU, everything was going well. I didnt do anything escept put opn a new version and BANG, its all gone to pot LOL
I have completely taken off the BP and put back on each version but no-go. I am lost and my members are hassling me so I brought it elsewhere.
Ah well, some things are meant to be and some arent.

I was in a similar situation while trying out Elgg. It didn’t work out so I switched to BP. I’m reopening the site later today and am keeping my fingers crossed.

This:
Warning: Missing argument 3 for bp_blogs_format_activity() in /home/theartne/public_html/wpmu/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-blogs.php on line 206may mean that you are possibly running an old version of the buddypress-member theme?
Also, it’s a PHP warning. If you want to hide those PHP messages from the display on your site you can change the “display_errors” parameter in your php.ini to Off. Just make sure that in that case at least log_errors = On so that errors and warnings are logged in the PHP error log file since you do want to have knowledge about any errors. Then your site won’t show those messages (but you still may have issues to do with those errors or warnings).

No I am running the very latest of it all. I always upload all of it. I cant get into my PHP.ini but as you say, I would still probably have the issues but wouldnt know then.
I really dont see why I have the errors and it is bugging the hell out of me.
Thank you for answering everyone

Ok, it’s difficult to say anything further without some serious debugging. You’re not a coder so that would not really be great help to you, unfortunately…
Also sometimes it pays to make absolutely sure that your site is running the code you have uploaded… just to rule this possibility out completely.

Is there any way I can do that?

You can download your buddypress files from the live site to your local computer and then check the file sizes for example. There are tools to compare files to each other. I’m using Mac OS X and Linux so I have a tool called diff. Not sure what’s around for Windows…
Also opening the files in a text editor and comparing them is an option albeit tedious…
