request membership inside of private group gives 404

[wdfee]

hello,
when requesting membership out of a private group the user is sent to the 404 page, no request was sent. requesting out of the group directory works.

I didn't test 1.8 on this, maybe the issue came with this version. Of course I already deactivated all plugins and choose bp default theme. WP 3.6

It's caused by the following: in bp-groups-screens.php function groups_screen_group_request_membership() the request is done if ( isset( $_POST['group-request-send']) ). But the $_POST variable is empty because it's a pure link button. I commented out line 471 and 483 (closing of the condition) - now it works.

How exactly are you requesting membership of the private group? Can you go through step-by-step, and provide example URLs if possible?

I've just tried recreating this and wasn't able to.

Closing issue as no feedback from reporter, and we need more details on how to recreate this issue.
