Installed, but can't view posts

   Hello,
   It looks like I've successfully installed BBpress, but when visitors (or admin) click on a forum post from internet explorer, the page hangs and times out. The post is never displayed. The same thing happens when trying to create a new post.

   Is there some firewall issue with my host? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

   Thanks!

   What are your $bb->domain and $bb->path settings?

   I'm having the same problem.

   Here are my details:

   $bb->domain = 'http://jessanastasia.com';
   $bb->path = '/forums/';

   Perhaps you have not yet set up Pretty permalinks.

   jessind,

   I tried your site in firefox and http://jessanastasia.com/forums/topic/1 gave a 404 not found reply (which was then caught by your WordPress for some reason and I ended up at your blog).

   Which method did you use to set up permalinks? MultiViews or the rewrite stuff? Did you put the .htaccess file in the forums directory?

   yea. i put the .htaccess file in the forums directory. before i couldn't get it to work with or without permalinks but now it magically works without. so everything seems to be good. i just don't know why the permalinks wouldn't work.

   mdawaffe asked:

   I guess I could have missed it, but I didn't see anything talking about .htaccess during the basic install process. This looks like yet another item for the 1, 2, 3 Install List. I sooo appreciate the desire to keep this SIMPLE, SIMPLE, SIMPLE but if a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 process would actually cover everything, that would be effectively more simple than a three-stepper that leaves out just enough to throw folks a tiny bit off track. Just my 2 cents.

   Solution :
   in includes/template-functions.php
   replace
   switch ( bb_find_filename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) ) :

   by
   switch ( bb_find_filename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) ) :
