How about a little more information?
URL?
What happens when they try?
What happens when you try?
Any error messages?
What version bbPress?
Integrated with WordPress? If so, what version WordPress?
Stock theme or custom?
Any plugins active?
Has it ever worked or never worked since installation?
What host are you on?
You never know which of these items will be important, but starting with a little information is better than nothing.
In reply to: Future of bbPressbbhack, you should take your arguments to Automattic.
This is something Matt said a while ago about MySQL and Oracle:
http://ma.tt/2009/04/oracle-and-open-source/
There have been discussions before of using different databases, or abstracting the whole thing, but I still feel there are many other bbPress features that need work before they tear out something that is working completely fine right now.
Yes they should change the documentation, but right now the project is without a leader, so a few things have fallen by the wayside, including documentation.
You can use browser add-ons for Firefox like Firebug or the Web Developer Toolbar, or you can use a command line tool, or there are places online that you can submit your URL to and they will show the headers returned.
Using the Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox, I get this:
Response Headers - http://fakeplasticfish.com/discuss/

Server: Apache
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=99
Connection: Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
200 OKWhich is correct, and different from before, and it looks like you fixed it.
In reply to: Do I have to protect the forum directoryNo – it has nothing to do with the program they use, it’s how that file is served by the web server. If the web server is configured correctly (to process PHP files and not display them) then there’s nothing to worry about. If your forum is usable, your web server is configured correctly.
In reply to: Do I have to protect the forum directoryYou don’t need to protect anything. All php files should be 0644 permissions, the directories should be 0755. Any file with a php file extension will be processed by PHP on the web server, so for something like the bb-config.php that does not return any content, the browser will not display any contents. A lot of php files with private information in them are like that, with no content returned.
Load this page:
http://www.autogas-umruestungen.de/forum/bb-config.php
There’s nothing displayed in the browser since the web server returns the processed output of the php file, not the source of the file.
I think you should be including wp-load.php instead of wp-blog-header.php
I think the difference between browsers is due to your forum returning a 404 but still displaying the content. Some browsers ignore the 404 and display the content (Safari and Firefox, apparently) but others treat the 404 as a 404 (IE8).
Check the headers being returned from http://fakeplasticfish.com/discuss/ :

I think those are related.
In reply to: Revolution Theme – Please Fix itI suggest you contact Brian Gardner, the creator of the Revolution themes. That theme was created over a year ago and I suspect there are at least a couple problems with 1.0.

If Brian is not interested in updating that theme, if that is the problem, you may need to pay someone to make the modifications you need.
Did you see this?
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-bbpress-theme-peacemaker#post-15554
That theme is over a year old, before bbPress 1.0 was out. There are probably some incompatibilities.
In reply to: How do i load bbpress in a wordpress site?You will need to create a bbPress theme that looks like your WordPress theme. If you’re not comfortable creating a theme, you will need to find someone to do that for you.
In reply to: Future of bbPressBuddyPress and integration are two things I am weak in, so it’s good you’re around. Thanks again.
In reply to: Comment Lenght LimiterWhere do you want to limit the length of input? Just in the replies? Line length, or overall amount of content? Too long usernames?
In reply to: Rss ticker pluginSince there doesn’t appear to be any interest, or at least anyone interested hasn’t posted, maybe you should consider hiring someone to code it for you. You could then share the code with the community if you are so inclined.
In reply to: Where is BBpress Television?I think it took a while for WordPress to get where it is today, including video tutorials at wordpress.tv – bbPress is not there yet. WordPress 1.0 was January 2004, and the first video tutorial on wordpress.tv was posted January 2009. bbPress 1.0 was released June 2009. I think there is a lot more development to be done with bbPress before resources would ever be devoted to anything like bbpress.tv (which is not registered ATM.)
In reply to: Future of bbPressHey jjj, thanks for stepping up and helping Andy with BuddyPress:
In reply to: Merging TopicsNot currently possible with bbPress.
In reply to: Plugin for City/Country displayNotice the flags at the bottom of this forum:
I thought it was part of _ck_’s mini track plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mini-track/
I’m not saying this will do everything you want straight away, but the idea exist and maybe you can extend from there.
In reply to: Admin Functions not workingPlease start a new topic for your new problem. Thanks.
In reply to: cannot unstick topicAre you using the stock theme?
In reply to: Plugin for City/Country displayThe poster would have to set the city and country, or would that be automatic based on their location? When would the poster set that, if they do: once in their profile or on every topic they start or something?
In reply to: Admin Functions not workingDo those functions work when you use the default them, as the same user?
In reply to: Approve Avatar/Gravatar facilityI’ve never seen or heard of that for bbPress.
In reply to: Future of bbPressI have to disagree strenuously with the suggestion to support Oracle databases. In fact, I don’t believe I ever heard of anyone asking for that before, or heard of anyone turned off by the fact that Oracle was not supported. There are dozens of other features and fixes I would want to see before seeing support for other databases.
MySQL is the defacto database for open source blogging, CMS and forum software, with Postgres right behind. I think there are bigger fish to fry than supporting Oracle databases.
In reply to: Tags on bbPressNo, the top ‘so many’ tags are shown, based on how frequently they’re used. It’s a heat map, to show the most frequently used tags.
In reply to: errored when installedLooks like it’s a problem with XAMPP. Are you going to install it on a different type of server to be accessible to the public?
