Some servers do not support Multiviews.
Try this:
1. $bb->mod_rewrite = false;
2. http://www.stereopoly.de/forum/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php
3. copy the list
4. put the list into .htaccess
5. remove Options + Multiviews
6. $bb->mod_rewrite = true;
Note the bb-admin in #2.
Note that the plugin section here has a separate search function.

Yahoo has free hosting that has mysql and php support? Wild.
But if you are paying for that, you might want to find a real host that allows basic things like .htaccess files – which would be virtually any other host.
A quick google shows this is a common complaint about yahoo.
>> are u sure _ck_ ?
>> how about the hired Chinese ? 
That gives me a great idea to spell the numbers out as words in captcha-like graphics, which would be an interesting variation for non-english speakers.
You’re almost there. You need to either turn on multiviews or rewrite rules in your htaccess file if you want to use slugs. See #2 or #3 here:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/
I recommend #3 even though it’s a few more steps.
Some servers don’t even support multiviews so #3 is a must.
Which host are you with, that might be an error from the glob function being using without proper testing to see if it’s supported.

Build 1075 of the trunk will work with WordPress 2.5 and matches the new password method. There is also talk of some kind of bbPress updated release around or with WP 2.5
Either way you are covered – just don’t modify core files (only templates and plugins) and you should be okay. You’ll only have to do a small edit to the config.php (bb-config.php) file when the time comes to match the secret key in WP to BB.
Without direct edits to the the profile template it’s very hard to extend it, if not impossible. I’ve managed to add post count to the profile without template hacks via my post-count-plus plugin but putting in an avatar or gravatar is impossible without a hack.
example: http://bbshowcase.org/forums/profile/_ck_
But it’s easy to add tabs to the profile section via plugins.
You can make supplemental pages.
Just make a new tab to list all WordPress posts/comments.
The throttle is right in each user’s profile page.
It’s based on username.
If you want to tinker with increasing it, try this plugin I whipped up to avoid core hacks:
function post_regulation($text) {
global $bb_current_user;
$wait=45; // seconds between posts
if (isset($bb_current_user->data->last_posted) && time() < ($bb_current_user->data->last_posted + $wait) && !bb_current_user_can('throttle'))
bb_die(__('Slow down; you are posting too often.'));
if (strlen(trim($text))<10)
bb_die(__('Your post is too short, please say something meaningful!'));
if (strlen($text)>2500)
bb_die(__('Your post is too long!'));
return $text;
}
add_filter('pre_post', 'post_regulation');
In theory it would be possible to hack that further to regulate based on IP by doing a mysql query for the last post time that has the current user’s IP.
My solution doesn’t need template editing and has stopped all such activity on my site:

I’m not an official voice by any means but IMHO bbPress at this time is more of a do-it-yourself type project that is definitely non-commercial in nature. It’s also in a pre-release state which means in general it’s not ready for “primetime” if you can’t deal with working out quirks.
If you need something commercial, especially in a hurry and have little technical experience, you need a commercial solution like vbulletin. Just be cautioned however you’ll need a more powerful server to host it’s bulk and since it’s commercial, everything for it will be cost – support, addons, etc. There’s always a trade off.
So far this has solved the problem for me completely:

I’ll augment it as they adapt.
Somehow you removed the sub-forum code from your theme.
Here’s a guess at the correctly inserted code:
http://pastebin.com/m33722e18
When you go into a forum, it should show you all the sub-forums available. If there are no topics in that forum however, it may just immediately jump to add new topic – that may be a bug in how bbPress works. Try creating a test topic in the main forum that has sub-forums.
If your forum has topics and still does not show sub-forums, you edited your theme somewhere and removed it or you are using a theme that removed the feature. If so, put into pastebin your forum.php page from your theme and show it to me.
Among my installs I help maintain a very large/active bbpress forum and google sometimes indexes new pages less than a minute after they are created. It’s creepy! I think they do it based on people who have the Google Toolbar installed and browse the page.
I call this “reverse integration”.
Unless there is something I am overlooking, I believe the easiest way to do this is to use phpmyadmin to either rename or export bb_users and bb_usermeta to wp_users and wp_usermeta.
(you’d have to get rid of the existing wp_users wp_usermeta first of course)
Then you will need my fix-admin-access plugin to restore access to the WP admin panel since your role will no longer exist. This assumes you as the keymaster are user #1.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/
If you are asking what I think you are asking, I think I have made the subtle change you need. The sub-forums will no longer be shown on the front-page.
http://pastebin.com/m5ce19f4b
Line 53 is really all that’s needed.
if (!$forum->forum_parent) {
This is untested however.
Topics from within the sub-forums will still showup in the latest discussions however.
It may be possible to work around this bug by putting the name directly into the db via phpmyadmin. There are a few other bbPress forums in Arabic though so I am not sure how they got around it.
(also make sure there is no whitespace after the ending ?> in config.php)
Er, my profile has two different websites you can find/contact me on – this wasn’t necessary to do here.

You can use this plugin by just installing it and my-views.php, you don’t need the others if you don’t want their features.
I’ll be revisiting this plugin once I get my User-Track plugin done sometimes in March.
Well that would actually be my next question as I am not familiar with the legal limits of opensource/gnu software. Am I allowed to make a bundled version of bbPress and use part of the name bbPress as long as I am clear I didn’t make the core product, and include the GPL license?
Integration takes about 10-15 minutes once you’ve
installed both WordPress and bbPress .
You just have to get the cookie hashes and paths to match
and make sure bbPress allows the looser names that WordPress does as well as set the roles for WordPress if you allow registration through the bbPress side.
Just a caution that something is making my bb-benchmark dump the results publicly on your pages.
I’ve just posted 0.19 so you might want to make sure you use that.

I also believe there is code on the WordPress side that uses 3rd party mailers like gmail or yahoo to send passwords. This could be easily adapted to bbPress as a plugin.
