I rescued that post from spam/akismet. I wonder if that error occurs frequently when creating a new topic where the post is caught by Akismet? There are lots of topics with a first post caught by Akismet, but the spammers don’t stick around to report bugs if the error IS occurring for them.
This post was incorrectly marked as spam, and that resulted in the error described here:

Never seen that problem personally, but recording the info here for future reference.
@lionbeat, there were never any themes neatly presented here as far as I know. There is a plugin repository here but the themes were always scattered all over the place. For a while, _ck_ maintained the bbshowcase.org and there was a theme directory there. Nothing official though, and now even that is gone.
@petroski. Those my-templates and my-plugins folders are needed, it’s where you put your templates and your plugins (not the ones included with bbPress.) As I mentioned, they are being created with incorrect permissions and that issue has been resolved in ticket #1139.
They didn’t used to get created on installation, you had to create them yourself. Then they were being created but with the wrong permissions (0750 by default.) Now, after ticket #1139 is resolved the directories will be created with 0755 permissions. You need them if you want to install any plugins or use your own template.
I believe those my- folders are still needed. What makes you think they’re not?
1.0.2 was creating the folders with the wrong permissions, 0750, instead of 0755, but that bug was fixed I believe, just not packaged and released yet. https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1139
Josh, how about posting a link to your forum so people can help you troubleshoot the header problem? No need to change themes completely to fix what is probably a simple problem.
If you are not already logged in to the forum when you come from being logged in to WordPress, the integration is not complete. Try this:

Uh oh, I was quoted. I should watch what I say…
Don’t change the table prefix from bb_ to wp_ – that will overwrite wp_tables. Leave the bb_ prefix for the tables, and use the same database, and the bb_tables will be installed into the same database your WordPress installation is using.
This page does show up (in Firefox anyway): http://www.justinbieberzone.com/forums/
But is returning a 404. So my previous post points to the solution for that.
This was the solution for letting WordPress know about your bbPress installation to prevent 404s:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wordpress-mu-or-not-leads-to-404-errors-but-pages-still-load
I didn’t even get that though: I was getting a 302. That specific solution was for a 404 header being returned but the forum content still being showed.
None of the pages are loading for me, they just redirect to the forums home page. Looks like your installation is integrated. I get a 302 redirect back to http://www.justinbieberzone.com/forums/
Didn’t you have some other weirdness with this integrated installation?
Not that I know of. Do you have someone local you trust you to help with this? You will need to give someone access to your web space and possibly host control panel.
What plugin are you talking about?
If the forum cannot connect, chances are there is a problem with the database connection details.
Please report this at https://trac.bbpress.org/ – thanks
Does it *ever* connect to the database?
Why *what* is happening? What does it look like and what should it look like? Looking at it quickly looked like it is was normal to me.
line 19 in the default bb-config.php is the database username. Can you look at the file and see if it’s missing a quote or had an extra quote or something? A syntax highlighting editor is a big help here since it will show with highlighting is the syntax of that PHP file is correct or not. vim is good on Linux. Notepad++ is good on Windows. I don’t use a mac to know what works well there.
Glad I posted a completely incorrect suggestion to get the conversation going 
Can you rename it temporarily to get through the installation? Or, if you configure bb-config.php before starting the installation, does that get around this check? If not, then you might need to comment out the check in the installer code to get around this silly restriction.
I think instead of this:
$result->topic_start_time
you can do this:
echo date ('F j', strtotime($result->topic_start_time))
Worth a shot anyway…
gautam visits here as well. If you check his username you will see many useful posts.

Is there a file called config.php in this directory or one level up? I think bbPress chokes on that too.
Renaming should not break the installation. You can rename the folder bbpress to whatever you want. Many people use forum or forums (as it is here.)
