Assuming you are the admin of the site, if you manually create a new user do you get a notification email?
If you don’t, the default wp_mail() function likely isn’t working with your web host/server. This is semi common.
The easiest fix is to use an SMTP plugin like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/configure-smtp/.
Are you using any member plugins such as WishList Members or s2Member?
If you are using bbPress 2.x it includes TinyMCE support.
If you’re not getting the TInyMCE editor on topic/replies then you need to inspect you plugins and see what might be filtering/disabling the editor.
Ah, I think I see the problem.
WishList Member does some trickery behind the scenes and has a history of not playing nice with bbPress due to some of the ways they implement their functionality.
I’d suggest contacting them and see if they have made any progress in figuring out the issue.
Here’s another thread, for reference, with a similar issue
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/some-users-cant-see-first-post/#post-130422
bbPress search has been implemented from scratch in bbPress 2.3 release. The new search does not piggyback off of WordPress search (which is what happens when you add the code above) and works extremely well.
Version 2.3 is actually in RC1 right now and is very stable, so you could upgrade to that and it would give you the new search feature.
http://bbpress.org/blog/2013/03/bbpress-2-3-release-candidate-1/
My recommendation would be to give 2.3 RC1 a whirl. Of course since it is RC1, do a backup before upgrading 
No problem, thanks for reporting it. Things like this help us improve bbPress for everyone
Here’s the trac ticket http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2283
Any fixes won’t be until bbPress 2.4 so you’ll want to do some tweaks manually (like I mentioned above) in the mean time.
Alright, the resets we have in place in the CSS were for the list-style, not the background images or padding which seems to be what you need.
Putting this in your theme’s CSS will be a start, but you’ll likely need more CSS tweaks as you go to play nice with your theme.
`#bbpress-forums li {
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
background: none;
padding: 0;
}`
I’m going to create a ticket in trac to add these to the reset to help in the future.
Are you using any other plugins?
Is this a live site or a site that is currently in development?
Ah, it appears at one point you copied the bbPress CSS file into you theme (which is correct).
Once you do that, bbPress will always use that file instead of its own. So instead of using the new 2.3 CSS file with the fixes it’s still loading the one and your theme.
Easiest thing to do is rename the bbpress.css in your theme to something else like bbpress-temp.css which will make bbPress use it’s own packaged CSS.
I’m not sure how this works with BuddyPress, but you may be able to try this plugin which typically shows what templates are in use.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/debug-bar-bbpress/
It is probably because you are on 2.0.2.
I’d create a backup of your site and then try to upgrade to the latest version.
Sorry bbPress wasn’t the right fit, good luck!
Something is acting weird.
Did you install any bbPress add-on plugins or do any bbPress customizations?
You need to edit that page where you are using the shortcode. Below it you likely have a bunch of empty lines (delete those) which are being converted to empty paragraphs.
Since this is a development site and not live, you may try upgrading to bbPress 2.3 RC1 (see http://bbpress.org/blog/2013/03/bbpress-2-3-release-candidate-1/). It contains an update that resets some of the basic CSS elements for the forums in order to try and avoid problems like what you’re having.
This would be a great test to see if that particular update in 2.3 helps!
Dunno why that wouldn’t work.
Threw this code in firebug and it works just fine.
`table.forum-table tr.odd td {
background:red;
}`
Hmm so you have the auto role setting checked?
If that’s checked and you have tried it with all plugins disabled, well that really doesn’t leave a lot of margin for error.
You can’t really.
You’ll either want to tweak your theme’s CSS so it doesn’t conflict or (and probably the way I would go) create a copy of the bbPress CSS and tweak it as needed.
Copy: `wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css` to: `wp-content/themes/[YOUR-THEME]/css/bbpress.css` and make changes as needed.
So I have to apologize. That’s actually my plugin and I had an “oops” in the readme.txt.
What you did was close, except the CSS file needs to be placed in `yourtheme/css/bbpress.css`.
Once you move it bbPress should auto detect it. I’ve updated my plugin to reflect the correct path, thanks for pointing that out.
If memory is correct due to certain functionality with BuddyPress, it does not allow usernames with spaces in it. I don’t think this is specifically with bbPress.
Thanks for posting this. Whenever we tackle the job of adding “official” image uploading we’ll definitely encounter this issue, so this was helpful. I don’t think there is a ticket for at on trac at this point or I’d link to this
Probably a CSS conflict with your theme. I’d use Chrome Developer Tools or Firebug to inspect the image and see what is causing it to size up to 50×50.
Right now it just happened that a handful of the mods are out for SXSW so it was a little slow.
Normally the spam attacks are cleared within an hour. Anytime you happen to see a spam explosion feel free to alert me on twitter @jaredatch.
I’m not sure what the issue is, but just for grins make sure you update to BuddyPress 1.7 beta 2 (just came out today), see if that may help.
If not then we have an issue to look into.
