I don’t think you can do it through the bbPress interface at all ( I could be wrong about that, but I’ve never seen it. ) You would have to modify it directly in the database. Using a tool like phpMyAdmin find the topic in the bb_topics table, and modify the topic_slug. Make sure the slug you select does not already exist – the slugs need to be unique.
If you make it work, please post your experience so that other’s may learn from it. Thanks.

What version bbPress are you using?

I will say that I’ve been with 1&1 Internet for 4 or 5 years now, and their hosting is OK, but if you ever have a problem, good luck trying to get help. Their support is abysmal. Hosting is fine when there are no problems, but when you have a problem (which you inevitably will), oh, the pain. I don’t think they’ve ever resolved a problem for me, and I’ve taken to just not calling them and hoping problems resolve on their own. The people you talk to seem to have absolutely no ability to help you. The network engineers seem to keep on top of the problems and they end up fixing things on their own.
I suppose this is true with most cheap monthly hosts. They can’t be that cheap and offer stellar support.
How does a downgrade actually work? I didn’t think there was a downgrade function, I figured you just reinstalled the old version from a database and filesystem backup, or installed the old version fresh if you didn’t have any content to worry about anyway.
How are people actually going about the downgrade?
Shagalaga, what version of bbPress are you using, and what is the server setup? LAMP or other?
What sort of content were you actually trying to post? Can you try to post it here?
I don’t know – what’s easier for you, downgrading to 2.5.1 or upgrading to an alpha release of bbPress?
Personally, if I needed integration between WordPress and bbPress, I would install the 0.9.0.2 of bbPress and 2.5.1 of WordPress. Alpha software should be used for testing only.
Posts are editable for a configurable period of time after posting, by the original poster. You can post then look at the post and see how it worked.
This plugin also worked with earlier version of bbPress:

You’ll see this permalinks discussion a lot with GoDaddy.
What version bbPress and WordPress are you using?
fel64 says bbSync is very, very broken right now.
You could use bbsync as a start then, couldn’t you? If that’s the only problem with it, that would be easier than reinventing the wheel.
If you include bb-load.php in that file, you will have access to bbpress functions. Why not do something like this in that page:
require_once(/full/path/to/bbpress/bb-load.php)
It’s not there now. Maybe you resolved it?
The bb-config.php might have been missing the beginning <?php or maybe the web server was not configured to parse .php files?
Now that you mention it, I think search returns just a snippet of results, not the full post. Maybe look at how that’s done?
If you click on the profile link (the title under your username) you will get a list of all posts you’ve made and threads you’ve started. It’s not search, but it will all be there. I don’t believe the member name is searched by default (could be completely wrong there and haven’t tested it in a long while.) I think it just shows “recent posts” and “relevant posts” (at least in my old version that’s what happens.) If you click the profile link, you get topics started and recent replies.
azsportshub: what version bbPress and WordPress did you install?
Hmm – that makes no sense to me. What is the exact error you get if you do not include the if (file_exists statement?
What did you do to convert the XDForum plugin to bbPress? Did you import content, or export content from XDForum?
