Privacy settings don't look like they used to (part of WP update, I guess) -- no way to choose "I want my site to be visible to everyone." Is that a default choice only overridden when something else is checked? Should we have "More Privacy Options" enabled on the main blog?

I don't know how it happened, though this ticket is a duplicate of #1259. In that ticket, I wrote a function that was supposed to protect the main blog's privacy setting from being set to anything other than public, but apparently something is bypassing it.

I'll write something else that tries to prevent it.

There's no way for me to tell what's causing the problem. As I guess in #1259, it's probably bp-groupblog, but I still can't see what it is about bp-groupblog.

So I'm left with the somewhat more brute force method of ensuring that the main blog's privacy level is always read as 1, even if someone sets it to something else (like -2, in this case). My fixes for #1259 worked in most cases. But More Privacy Options had a certain set of cases where my fix didn't come early enough in the chain. In fact, there is no place in the WordPress loading process, between the time when the $current_blog item is first loaded and when MPO does its stuff, where I can reliably hook and force the value of blog_public to 1. So I've taken the even more brute force method of modifying the MPO plugin so that it ignores blog #1. See https://github.com/castiron/cac/commit/063520cc297277a7b82bf8242e1f8902f3e2293a

Seems to be working properly now.
