The new data is there but you can't see it because the font is white on light yellow.</p> <p>To check if that's happening to you, try highlighting the "invisible" text in a field after you've changed it and refreshed and see if it's there. I registered with no real name, but then edited my profile to add my first and last name. I saved, then went to edit again, and it looked like the data was not there, but it was, when I highlighted it. </p> <p>With IE7 (no Google Toolbar), I can see the data both before and after. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-edits-not-saving#post-20383 Sat, 01 Nov 2008 21:44:46 +0000 lunaKM 20383@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.sensual-service.com/forums/" rel="nofollow">http://www.sensual-service.com/forums/</a> NSFW!! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-edits-not-saving#post-20381 Sat, 01 Nov 2008 21:31:00 +0000 chrishajer 20381@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I have a non-integrated alpha 2 install, and I am able to save new profile information just fine.</p> <p>Link to your forum?

All of the points are true, it's a useful and usable program, but it's not done yet.</p> <p>Over time, based on feedback and user code contributions I am very confident that integration will become virtually painless and almost instantaneous.</p> <p>bbPress is only a year old in code development. I'm not sure if you realize that. Polished products like vbulletin are EIGHT years old (and $85 a year plus support plus most plugins and themes are commercially sold)</p> <p>If you are curious about future features you can always <a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/roadmap">browse the TRAC</a> which will give you a rough idea (ignore the date schedule, they're just vague estimates). Remember, it's a community project, you can suggest features and contribute bug fixes too via TRAC. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/ck-suggestions#post-17460 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 01:10:47 +0000 _ck_ 17460@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>hyperhoo, I'm kinda on a bbPress break for the summer so major updates to my plugins will be a month or two...</p> <p>"admin to hide disable registration"<br /> I need you to explain that a bit better.</p> <p>Per forum based moderation is something that is likely to happen in a future version of bbPress. They have added forum metadata and supposedly forum permissions and I feel that definitely should be done in the core and not via a plugin (it's just way too complicated via a plugin)</p> <p>I may eventually include it but I always found age verification humorous, because who gives their real age on the internet? You'd be crazy to put in your real birthday into a website you have no control over because if the wrong person gets ahold of that it's useful for social engineering. For now maybe just put in the TOS that they must be "18" or whatever age you want. If they agree to the TOS they are therefore that age. Otherwise you are collecting personal information (their birthday) and are liable for that if it falls into the wrong hands.</p> <p>"make a report plugin"<br /> You mean report a bad post? I've already done that. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/ck-suggestions#post-17459 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 00:51:46 +0000 hyperhookup 17459@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>@ck when you see this. You should update all your plugins. Also make one that allows admin to hide disable registration, set certain users to moderate only certain sections, ban by ip, customize the tos plugin to make it so that before they enter certain forums they have to verify there age and accept tos or acceptable user policy and of course make a report plugin. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-update-soon#post-17452 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 19:34:26 +0000 kernow 17452@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p><em>...If you are using bbPress, you are considered an "early adopter"<br /> </em><br /> I have noticed of late that early users of bbpress are now being categorised as 'early adopters' whereas one of the reasons I used it was that it was described thus:</p> <ul> <li>Light and fast</li> <li>Tired of getting your forum hacked? etc</li> <li>Integrates easily with Wordpress</li> <li>If we could re-write WordPress, it would be a lot like bbpress</li> </ul> <p>All of the above suggesting that it was a 'finished product' and technically superior to WordPress in some respects.</p> <p>What features will the 'released version' have and will there always be integration problems?

It's pre-release and therefore in a state of flux. bbPress has always been a bit behind WordPress changes. If you are using bbPress, you are considered an "early adopter" and therefore you have to accept that things aren't going to be perfect. </p> <p>No one but maybe Sam or MDA can say when bbPress will have a release that's 2.6 compatible. There is code in the trunk that supposedly will work but I wouldn't recommend using the trunk. It has to be ported to the 0.9 branch and then tested. I suspect they may even wait for the 1.0 beta release and I don't know if that's two weeks away or two months away.</p> <p>Again, there is nothing special about the WP 2.6 release - it only has a handful of extra features and no security bug fixes over 2.5.1 - in fact people are having a bunch of little problem with 2.6 still so why rush to upgrade? I was able to easily downgrade back to 2.5.1 with no problems. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-update-soon#post-17434 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 14:11:34 +0000 hotforwords 17434@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I really don't understand the statement that "it will be a while" before they upgrade bbpress! I upgraded to 2.6 as my website (blog) is the most important part and I wanted to add bbpress as a side thing. It confuses me that they company that owns both products is basically telling you to downgrade back to 2.5.1 on Wordpress to get the two things working! I will never do that... I will just have to wait for the bbpress update.. but the "awhile" part really makes me concerned! Is that months from now? Or weeks? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-update-soon#post-17422 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:47:47 +0000 _ck_ 17422@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Malfhok, you'll discover WordPress 2.6 is maintaining a separate set of cookies to bbPress if you trying logging out and back in.
