Recently after the wordpress 3.0 update ,all sites which where running WordPress MU and buddypress in it faced a problem in which the images where showing a 404 page and not a single image was displayed on the site. Whenever you tried to click on the image it gave a 404 page.

I too got this problem in my Blogging Wire site which is a blogging network and it uses Buddypress plugin for creating a social network . I researched on the topic and found out that it was a .htaccess problem where some Rewrite Rules where having the old code.
My new code for the .htaccess file which helped me viewing all the files is :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
#RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

After changing the htaccess images again showed up on the site. So, if you are having a buddypress problem,give this tip a try.
