 * Just learned about Buddypress and it is _exactly_ what I need.
    unfortunately,
   I cannot seem to install it on my site.
 * I keep getting a whole mess of these errors:
    `Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference
   has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration
   of apply_filters(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, 
   you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in mysite.
   com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums.php on line 193`
 * searching for that error produced this page:
    [http://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/call-time-pass-by-reference-has-been-deprecated/](http://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/call-time-pass-by-reference-has-been-deprecated/)
 * I tried to work with the solutions suggested there, and, like the original poster,
   had no success.
 * any suggestions?
    Thank you.

   he installed it on a top level domain.
 * so I set up a new domain and it still did not work. same page of errors like 
   the one above.
 * has anyone any leads on this?
