bbPress.org

OK, before we get to my problem: trying to post today on bbPress.org was awful. I logged in and it brought me immediately back to the login form itself. So I tried it again and it said “You’re already logged in.” Fine. So I clicked the “Create New Topic” link and it said, “You must be logged in to post.” It was a vicious cycle. Still not quite sure how I got to this form. Even used a different browser, same problem. I wonder if others are having the same problem …

Onto my problem:

I’ve got bbPress 2.3+ running soundly, but I really need the private messaging feature offered by BP. It’s been suggested to install and turn on only what I need.

Of course, it’s not happening easy.

Here are my two primary issues …
1) The “Edit” link doesn’t appear on the Profile. I’ll continue to take a look at it, but it has me mystified
2 – and my biggest problem) BuddyPress hijacks the sign-up process. I’m OK with that, obviously, except that it’s not sending confirmation e-mails. WP/bbPress send out activation e-mails FINE. But the moment BuddyPress is involved, it’s no longer sending them.

Any suggestions?
