In reply to: Navigation bar won’t work in BBpress
To post source code here, just use the backtick (upper left on a US keyboard, under the tilde) before and after your block of code.
I noticed in your forum source there is a link to this style.css which does not exist:
http://www.addiva.net/bbpress/style.css
Not sure if that’s a problem or not, but it’s not right. In addition, you should validate your CSS here and fix any problems.

I would start with those things and maybe something will stand out.
In reply to: Fail to make BBpress Live workingIpstenu – do you have access to error logs? If you look at the source of the page, is there anything there to indicate that the plugin sent anything at all, maybe even just an error message?
In reply to: Using bbpress forum content within a wordpress pageWhy? I think it’s because bbPress is not a WordPress plugin. There are already other forum plugins for WordPress. bbPress is not one of them.
How about using the 1-column fixed bbPress raw theme and customizing it to look like your blog?

I don’t think I’ve seen anything like Kubrick for bbPress at all yet.
In reply to: Email notificationsI think the user can mark their topic as a favorite, then use this plugin to get an email when there is a reply to the topic:

For an alternate view on this, search this page for the word “email”:

In reply to: Getting 404s when changing Permalink typeHave you read this?
In reply to: Google sitemap for bbPress?My point was that having a sitemap doesn’t make your forum more search engine friendly. I mean, if you have bad page titles, bad meta tags, poor keyword density, none of those things change by listing all your URLs in a file and submitting that to Google.
Don’t get me wrong; I think the sitemap is a good idea, but it can’t fix anything wrong with your site. It just lists all the content that is available on your site and submits that to the search engine. It’s almost a crutch for having BAD SEO:
“including URLs that may not be discoverable by Google’s normal crawling process.”
If the site were optimized, Google’s normal crawl process could handle it.
Again, don’t get me wrong, I think sitemaps are a good idea. I use them. But it doesn’t *fix* any SEO problems with your site. That was my only point.
In reply to: graphical ranks / post countIn reply to: En españolFor the alpha version of bbPress there is this plugin that allows you to use an external SMTP server:

There’s also this for 0.8.x and 0.9.x versions of bbPress:

There was someone here who was just displaying the password on the screen too, but I can’t find that right now.

In reply to: bbOrg?I was just able to download it now without a problem.

Maybe just Internet weirdness, solar flares, hamster died, something like that.
In reply to: Move this topic to the selected forum:What version bbPress did you install? Maybe it’s a bug changing from a category and then back not working.
I have an Alpha 2 installation, and I created a forum, made it a category, then added some sub-categories. Then, I unchecked the “Forum is category” on the top forum, and it became a regular forum, and I was able to post in it. At that point it was just hierarchical, with a top level forum and three sub-forums, not a parent category that would not allow posts. I think this is exactly how the “Forum is Category” functionality is supposed to work.
In reply to: INSERT queries for new Topic and new PostSo much for my IIS guess. I am not having this trouble on a Linux server, MySQL 4.0.28-log, Apache 1.3.x, PHP 5.2.6 with Alpha 2.
In reply to: Colours around images in “Allow Images”The link that was posted gave me a 404 error. Maybe someone will be able to resolve it by knowing off-hand rather than having to see it.
In reply to: Colours around images in “Allow Images”Link to your forum?
In reply to: return grok(Your attempt to do this has failed.);Can you post a link to your forum so we can see what’s happening?

In reply to: Is bbpress SEO friendly???beernews: yes, that’s what pretty permalinks look like. Looks like the options in trunk are now:
None …/forums.php?id=1
Numeric …/forums/1
Name based …/forums/first-forum
It used to be “none, true, slugs” which correspond to the above options in order. I’m not sure if they’re on by default when you install the latest version. There was talk of creating the mod_rewrite rules automatically when turning permalinks on (like WordPress does right now), but I’m not sure if that happens automatically or not yet.
But, with name based (the old slugs option) I think the links would be pretty good for SEO. The slugs might still contain stop words or otherwise be too long, but, they’re still pretty good.
In reply to: Mass user deleteThis would work for posts:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mass-edit/
I don’t know of anything similar for mass deleting users. You might just need to bite the bullet one time and delete them manually. I can’t log in to my site now to check if there is some type of “delete all checked” users function in the bbPress admin or not. I can’t recall.
In reply to: Second Page Gone!Right – that’s what we did. I figured it was related to the way the bb-attachments plugin works. Thanks.
Weird combination of bb-attachments and mini-track at the same time.
In reply to: Second Page Gone!Hi _ck_
The 503 error was happening after just loading one page a couple times in a row, or going from page one of this topic to the second page. The page where the problem was first observed is http://harrismarine.co.nz/bbpress/topic.php?id=9&page=2
You don’t need to load 100 pages in the session, or 50 pages in a minute. All you needed to do was load the first page of that topic, then try and access the second page. That’s where you typically got the 503. If you didn’t, simply F5 or CTRL-SHIFT-R would sometimes cause the 503.
It seems like something is being counted as a page access when it’s not. It’s as if loading the first page of that topic counts as 30 page views, then loading page two is another 25 or 30 and you get the 503.
There are lots of plugins installed. I thought at first that the bb-attachments plugin might be causing the problem since there are lots of embedded images in that topic. I know what *should* count as a page access, but it seems like some pages are being counted multiple times based on the content of that page.
If you need more debug info or logs to see what’s going on, please ask here. Right now both those throttling things are turned off (pages in a row in a certain time period and pages per session) and the forum seems to be working fine.
In reply to: Second Page Gone!Looks like the 503 error was coming from the mini-track plugin (I confirmed this by changing the message slightly to see if the message was being generated by Apache or this plugin.) So far, it looks OK, but it’s only been a day. More testing to follow.
In reply to: Hiding subforumsHide them where? And for what purpose? Just curious what you’re trying to do. Thanks.
In reply to: New Installation Problem“Keymaster email not sent” – I guess that’s the error on installation, maybe because the server doesn’t have an SMTP server.
In any case, that is not creating the problem with the plugin, I don’t think. Do you have access to any server logs that might point to why this is not working? I have this installed on a LAMP server with 0.9.0.2 and it’s working just fine for me. I don’t know if there’s an issue with being on a Windows server specifically. It just looks like the plugin is not working at all. It doesn’t convert the img tag to the proper display.
