Update: We tried reverting to BBPress 2.2 or 2.2-rc2 but we’re not getting anywhere. Forums keep giving 404s for logged in users. Updating permalinks, using the forum repair tools and clearing every single type of cache does not help either.
WP 3.4
BuddyPress 1.6.2
I can confirm that this also happens on our PressCrew forum (http://community.presscrew.com/discussions). The forum is available for logged out users and us (the admins) but mods, participants are getting 404s. From the forum index to single topics/forums.
These rows are also present and filled in.. I don’t know how to check if the forum ID corresponds with the right forum though.

Hi Jennifer,
All forums are checked with “1” (at least the ones that need a forum). Here’s a screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gn2surksk7yrgw3/Screen%20Shot%202012-12-14%20at%202.58.00%20PM.png
Maybe the group_id_metadata thing went wrong? is there any way to check that?
I just tested this and I can confirm that creating a Private and Public group and attaching a forum to that group works! But there is one issue.. When you go through the Group Creation wizard and check ” Yes. I want this group to have a forum.” and finish creating the group, the forum is NOT added. So you have to go into the Group Admin > Forums and enable the “Yes. I want this group to have a forum.” checkbox again. Then it does work. Example: http://www.youthpolicy.org/community/groups/testing-forums-bbpress-2/forum/topic/testin-topic/#post-2667
Thanks for the help so far 🙂
Thanks for the pointer, I’m going to check it out now.
Thank you for posting this Nick! Very helpful indeed 
Just implemented this on our community forums!
Hiya Dan,
Thanks a lot for creating this plugin! We’re using it on our community forums to provide support for Infinity (open source WP Theming Engine), and it does exactly what we need.
I think adding support for Achievements from Paul, is a great idea, and I think it makes a lot more sense then “bloating” the plugin itself. Hooking into Achievements and registering new ways for people to earn awards should be pretty straightforward http://achievementsapp.com/developer/add-support-for-a-plugin-non-custom-post-type/
Once again; awesome work!
