There's some good news at last. Might have found a way to display the activity streams properly and pretty much for all themes that it displays on. It takes some code adjusting as plonked in custom code. So now it's a matter of choosing the best theme...... Of course adjusting the image size for the activity stream makes it display wrong on other devices.. Buddypress go f*** yourself Here's some live demos... www.competethemes.com/demos/?theme=tracks (I love this theme but PV thinks it too dark and moody, it's slick and responsive to me and one of me favourites) en-gb.wordpress.org/themes/agama/ (fancy blog effect and visuals but is it a little to much for a social network site? away from that it's actually quite a simple theme that could work well. And you do have the option to display the blog entries without the fanciness) modernthemes.net/theme-demos/?theme=BLDR (extremely nice, have to create an entirely new home page mind and not sure it's working quite right?) Anyhoo I've got about 20 themes installed lol.. Just keep going through em - will make up my mind eventually.

You and PV are much more knowledgeable about computers than me, but I'd agree with PV that the first one is a bit dark, and I agree with you that the third one is nice.

I'll look at the 3rd one again today, it uses a page builder for the home page that doesn't wanna know because I didn't start from scratch with the theme.. I've actually been using the beaver...................... Page builder last day or so and it's really cool, for the home page. Not sure what to do to spice it up a little more, needs some spaces with info or something to break up the two main bits Thing is these full width templates are deffo a lot nicer when it comes to showing off a site I think? not sure what you guys think. Though I do like the current theme, just sad you can't have a full width home page on the theme. Unless there is a way???

Just trying to sort out an issue with it displaying the wrong menu on a tablet and smart phone... Have another menu there too, it all comes down to bleeding coding as well sometimes which is the last frigging thing you wanna be doing.. That's the whole purpose of wordpress innit, so you don't have to I could have the menus swapped around and then it displays the right one this hamburger menu.. Would people be fussed about that? crazy-chums.com/So basically that top menu would be on the second bar instead (no biggie right?). I've tried working out how to get it to work to no avail so far.. Hence the other menu option on tablets and smart phones but then you gotta get rid of the other menu option lol.. Some more fucking coding, I can do the coding when I really put me mind to it, done it for the activity stream but it's last resort stuff and don't wanna, just in case something goes awry. The other thing I've read is, you can have the tabbed options as you see on FB which would be really cool.. Just wish I knew how to, that would work really well for what the site is aboot

Good spot on the wrong word there, thank you. I've been wanting people to spot my mistakes, did a couple in my blog pieces as well

Think I'm gonna have this done soon (famous last words) there's only so much frigging tinkering you can do. But I'd like to have a small group join first just so we can learn how it all works
Like how do I give people admin access for the blog so that they can write a blog..

Not even sure how you allow people to become blog posters and what not yet.. Which is why I think it good that it's just a few of us for now, so we can work all this out together
You might notice too, there's a link on the menu for the site.

Gotta confess whenever I log into NLL and see another person with a premium account (if genuine) then I think. Oh lordy they paid upwards of 31 quid for that..
