Comment:

 Hi,

 With the sole purpose of being able to see my own errors - I went through
 the buddy press core and corrected (or unintentionally hid) the errors I
 encountered - at least in the admin and superficially browsing around the
 public pages.

 IMO this is not a minor bug. Generating an error is not free (i.e. Buddy
 press would perform faster if it didn't generate so many errors) and it
 makes it pretty difficult to contribute/write plugins if your own mistakes
 get drowned in the noise.

 Rather than correct the error messages (as I have done) it would be better
 to correct the reasons they exist in the first place which in most cases
 comes from using uninitialized/undefined class variables.

 I'm not that familiar with buddy press (or wordpress for that matter) so I
 hope this patch is useful. It's not complete - applying (only) my patch
 should not close this ticket.

 Regards,

 AD
