Yes… An entry in CSS for each forum
Glad you hacked found both your problem and a solution 
Yes, the converter is part of bbPress and can be found in your WordPRess admin dashboard under ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ -> ‘Import Forums’ but you do need to customize the ‘example’ file I mentioned above for any custom forum imports.
bbPress includes a conversion tool to import forums/topics/replies/users from some of the popular forum packages eg. bbPress or phpBB
There is an ‘example’ file also included as a ‘reference template’ that if your forum software is using a SQL database then you could easily modify this to be a custom importer by matching the correct database tables/fields etc
The file is called ‘example.php’ and is located in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/converter
Update to the latest bbPress 2.2.3 and repeat step 7 in the guide at BuddyPress you linked to above.
Sounds great Darren would love to see it, feel free to Pimp your site here.
A plugin would be cool and like Jared there is much on my plate at the moment.
Similar to Martin’s method above I have been using a custom icon font and targeting each forum like so with CSS where in this case the forum id is 34.
.bbp-forum-34 i:before {
content: "\e112"; /* glyphicons_ */
}
Indeed this awesome plugin does exist by @jmdodd

Are you using Akismet? And is everything enabled?
http://akismet.com/
- Make sure the Akismet plugin is activated /wp-admin/plugins.php
- Enter your Akismet API key /wp-admin/admin.php?page=akismet-key-config
- Make sure ‘Use Akismet’ is enabled in ‘Forum Settings’ /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress
When you are subscribed to a topic you will be emailed via WordPress of any new topic replies.
Favorites are like bookmarks and can be viewed/shared with other users on the site.
eg. Yours – http://bbpress.org/forums/profile/mia-pak/favorites/
Mine – http://bbpress.org/forums/profile/netweb/favorites/
What about using the ‘Login Widget’ http://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
Or one of the ‘account’ shortcodes? http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
You can subscribe by RSS to any bbPress install if that is of any help
http://bbpress.org/forums/feed/ & http://bbpress.org/topics/feed/
- Create a page in WP called ‘new-topic’
- Check the page slug/permalink is what you are after eg. http://example.com/new-topic/
- Add the bbPress shortcode [bbp-topic-form] to the page
- Click Publish
- Publish a link to the new page where needed
You would be best of contacting the theme authors if you are only having problems when using the ‘antistar theme’, they might be able to install bbPress themselves and determine what is causing the conflict and get it patched for you.
Haha… I started reading this and was about ready to hit ‘spam’… Oh wait… NOT SPAM 
Thanks for this and it is a known issue http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1905
It also has a patch that needs testing if you would like to give it some testing
If you could add any feedback you have to the ticket above it would be greatly appreciated
‘Hierarchical replies’ or ‘Threaded Replies’ depending on what you want to call them are indeed coming to a future version of bbPress. ‘Quoting’ is also on the ‘todo’ list.
@rbrightly As per this link, the latest version of the Pagelines Plugin is 2.0.2.
The last version is 2.0.2 , you should update it from my plugins section in the pagelines store inside the wordpress admin panel
If you do want to revert to a previous version you can find them here.
Just add /feed/ to the end of the URL:
eg. A specific forum eg. example.com/forums/myforum/feed/
eg. A topic example.com/forums/topic/this-is-my-topic/feed/
eg. This topic here at bbpress.org
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/subscribe-to-entire-forum-or-rss-feed-of-entire-forum/feed/
@livninctry I see you are using some kind of custom registration form to register users on both sites, is this causing any roles or modifying user permissions?
For your ‘dev’ environment I would install WordPress and then bbPress and NOT installing the suffusion theme or the suffusion bbPress pack and see if everything works before adding anything else.
Kind of the same for your main site, disable ALL plugins except bbPress and check to make sure everything works, then try with the suffusion theme, check everything again, then the suffusion bbPress pack, check everything again, then each of your other plugins one by one checking everything each and everytime.
I also see that the Suffusion bbPress pack v1.01 has not been updated in a while “Last Updated: 2012-7-25″ or has it been updated since reported problems 2 months ago http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-suffusion-bbpress-pack-compatibility-issues-with-latest-bbpress-212
Hope these help:
‘Widgets’ go in ‘Sidebars’ http://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
‘Shortcodes’ go on ‘Pages’ http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
function mycustom_breadcrumb_options() {
// Home - default = true
$args['include_home'] = false;
// Forum root - default = true
$args['include_root'] = false;
// Current - default = true
$args['include_current'] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'mycustom_breadcrumb_options' );
I think the above will do what you are after… Just add it to your themes functions.php
I think we are actually talking about WP-Admin side of things not showing forums/topics/replies in the WordPress admin dashboard… Correct?
If so it sounds like a plugin conflict and some help in narrowing this down would help all involved…
To try and resolve conflicts with other plugins please disable all your plugins except bbPress to see if the error persists. Re-enable each plugin one at a time and if things break again you should be able to now know which other plugin is causing the conflict.
OK… I see this now… None of your previous posts had mentioned that this was happening when the setting for the category/forum was ‘Private’.
I’ll create a ticketbug report on trac later after some more research on the issue.
