 * Hi all
    Using the last buddypress with the default theme I get this warning:
 * Warning: printf() [function.printf]: Too few arguments in /home/fabrica7/public_html/
   tdc/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php on line 
   476
 * The offending line is
 *     ```
       <div class="comment-content">
       			<div class="comment-meta">
       				<p>
       					<?php
       						/* translators: 1: comment author url, 2: comment author name, 3: comment permalink, 4: comment date/timestamp*/
       						printf( __( '<a href="%1$s" rel="nofollow">%2$s</a> said on <a href="%3$s"><span class="time-since">%4$s</span></a>', 'buddypress' ), get_comment_author_url(), get_comment_author(), get_comment_link(), get_comment_date() );
       					?>
       				</p>
       			</div>
       ```
   
 * Any clue on what´s going wrong?
 * Thanks

 * Hello, I’m using an e-commerce theme on WordPress 3.3.2 and got a similar error
   in my (comments) sections:
 * Warning: printf() [function.printf]: Too few arguments in /home/user1/public_html/
   wp-content/themes/framework/comments.php on line 55
 * This error only appeared when a user was not logged in to my site.
    I fixed it
   by changing the permissions on the comments.
 * Log into your Doashboard, scroll down to Settings>>Discussion Settings and next
   to (Other comment settings), uncheck [Users must be registered and logged in 
   to comment]
 * Hope this helps.

 * I´ll try asap 🙂
