Just a question...

    Ok I was wondering where I should upload bbpress? Right in the wordpress folder on my server? Also why can't I click on the View your profile link? It says "User not found." is that because it is still beta so to speak...
    Thanks,
    Noproblem

    Hopefully you put it in it's own folder, either under your WordPress folder, or off the webroot of your website.

    View your profile should not give you an error unless you have something configured incorrectly.

    Also can I convert my board from phpbb3 to bbpress?

    Yes, put it in it's own folder, inside the WordPress folder. So you might have something like this:

    /var/www/public/website/wordpress
/var/www/public/website/wordpress/bbpress/
     

    The 404 error might be because you are trying to use permalinks, either "slugs" or true, and they're not set up on your server. I would change them to false for now and see if you can get the links to work. If that works, then you know that was the problem and you just need to set up permalinks.

    phpBB3 conversion:

    I don't think so, not easily, not yet. I think there was a script to export phpBB2 to bbPress:

    So it is not available yet to convert?
