 * I only know about twenty Russian words, but “at-lich-nah” (thanks) for the bug
   report.
 * You’re the first person who has ever reported this problem. I suspect it was 
   cause either due to your web host or your ISP. If you can make it happen repeatably,
   follow up with us via our issue tracker on Github:

 * The task you’re describing is a major undertaking. There’s no simple way to take
   a data dump from a site like Ning and import it into BP-Album. You’ll have to
   hire a developer, have them take a look at our source code, and write an importer
   script. I’d estimate it would be a full day of dev time.

 * It depends on what you mean by “full sized image”. BP-Album resizes uploaded 
   images to fit within the maximum image dimensions you set, to save disk space.
   If we didn’t do this, users could upload huge files (20MB+) and use up all your
   disk space.
 * The code above that [@deepbevel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deepbevel/)
   posted is what most users would be looking for in this situation. Thanks!

 * I’m the lead developer of this plugin, and last I checked its still supported…
   🙂
 * BP-Album’s code is stable now and rarely needs updating. But, on the rare occasions
   when WP updates do somehow manage to break it, we’ll fix it as soon as possible.

 * Disable all the plugins on your site, then re-enable them one at a time until
   you find the cause of the problem.

 * This is the strategy my team has adopted as well. Calling something “BuddyPress-
   MyCoolPlugin” is just too long, and it distracts from **our** brand.

 * BP-Album is the most popular, most reliable, and best supported media hosting
   plugin for BuddyPress.
 * We created a next-generation plugin for media hosting on BuddyPress that included
   Audio, Video, and PDR capability, as well as multiple albums and group albums,
   and named it “BP-Media”.
 * Unfortunately, a year into the project, some web dev shop in India decided to
   release a much less capable plugin and also name it BP-Media. This was very confusing.
   So we changed the name of our plugin to a new secret name, and will be releasing
   it under the new secret name in a few months once we have the name copyrighted
   and have all the domains and social network handles locked-down.

 * Well isn’t that clever … 🙂
 * I like that strategy. We’ll add it as an option to Razor for developers who don’t
   use transactions in their test fixtures.
 * ^F^
 * PS: We’re now writing documentation for Razor. Look for it on [Razor’s GitHub Page](https://github.com/WP-Razor)

 * Alright, since there’s clearly some interest in the plugin, we’ll write some 
   documentation.
 * To answer your questions:
 * `Do I always need the testplan.php file?`
 * Yes. When you call razor using the –plugin=my_plugin option, it looks for the/
   plugin_name/unit-test/ folder and loads the ‘testplan.php’ file inside it.
 * `Does WP Razor automatically wrap DB queries in a transaction, like the official
   unit tests do, or do I have to manually clean up the database?`
 * No. And I doubt the WP database class wraps queries in a transaction, either.
 * 1) This would make it impossible to test any MySQL table type other than “InnoDB”.
 * 2) It would make it impossible to test database queries that involve transactions
   because MySQL doesn’t support nested transactions.
 * 3) It would make it much harder to debug queries, because you wouldn’t be able
   to examine the table state following a test, or if a test crashed mid-test.
 * Razor uses a separate database, typically called ‘unit_test’, and loads a WordPress
   image of your choice into it. Tests are run against this image, and the image
   persists in the database following a run so that you can examine it if necessary.
   A fresh image is loaded at the beginning of each run, and you can load a fresh
   image before a given test if you need to.
 * `How does QUnit fit into all of this?`
 * qUnit is used for testing JavaScript used in a plugin’s front-end and admin screens.
   qUnit tests are currently run from a special page in the plugin’s admin back-
   end, but we’re probably going to build an engine that runs them using node.js
   or zombie in the future.
