    Ok I tried setting the Dashboard blog to serve as...well I don't know why! A couple months back, I was just reading a post somewhere about the dashboard setting in MU and what it was for. I went through with setting the option....

    Now, I don't want it...I'd like to have all users back on the main site. Sidenote, it causes Buddypress to assign members to dashboard.blog.com/?s=membername on bp pages resulting in not found.

    What's an easy way to revert this back to the way it was.

    what is a good use for that dasboard option by the way

    the dashboard blog option is only meant for a place where users can login to the *backend* and adjust their profile if they do not have a blog.

    You have BuddyPress. users do it on the frontend.

    If you go back to the site admin -> Options page, just tell it to use a blog called "dashboard" again.

    And keep in mind the dashboard blog will never have a front side.

    andrea, thanks for the clarification. sounds like i don't need it then.

    so to get the users assigned back to the main blog after they've imported to the dashboard blog once already, I just "go back to the site admin -> Options page, just tell it to use a blog called "dashboard" again."

    this will assign the dashboard users back to the main site?

    "Leave blank for the main site. "

    That clear things up? :)

    hm yes. thanks i guess it would be that simple. I was just concerned where all users would end up being assigned.
