In reply to: bbPress Facebook page@Ipstenu: that ticket was opened two days ago. This topic was started three days ago. I’d say people bringing integration up here brought attention to the issue. This thread has been good for that reason alone.
In reply to: Login using Facebook ConnectI agree 100% – OpenID.
In reply to: Login using Facebook Connect@lyrics, it’s not possible with ANY version right now that I know of.

Sounds like it could work as a plugin, but I haven’t heard of one yet. This topic was the first I heard of it in relation to bbPress.
In reply to: bbpress is slow like godaddy says?_ck_ – I doubt a visitor is complaining about either
1.298 - 35 queriesor0.489 - 35 queries– that’s not enough for people to complain. I could be wrong, and the performance tips are good, but I doubt this falls into the range of horrible for a forum visitor. Loading Adsense and Analytics takes more time than that.In reply to: bbpress is slow like godaddy says?bbPress could be slow depending on what plugins you have installed. You can use something like bb-benchmark to see where the delays are:

A stock installation of bbPress has never been slow for me. It’s almost always shared hosting.
What *exactly* is slow on your forum? Can you post a link to the forum?
In reply to: BBpress faster than WordPressI recently ran into a problem with eaccelerator installed from source:
When you update PHP, Apache will not restart since eaccelerator was compiled with an earlier version of PHP, and Apache can’t load the eaccelerator.so binary. If Apache won’t start, maybe this is why. Apache didn’t give any good messages at all, but
php -mon the command line showed a problem with the eaccelerator binary being compiled for an earlier version of PHP. So, just recompile, reinstall and restart Apache.Hope that helps someone.

Maybe at wordpress.org, eh?
Last post around October 2006:

In reply to: New forum layoutI liked it with the circle, just not the small caps. It always looks better as bbPress whenever it’s written.
I checked the USPTO online and found the WordPress word mark but not one for bbPress. Maybe Automattic should register that.
In reply to: bbPress Facebook pageI will chime in with my thoughts.
1. Most people who find bbPress do so because of its integration capabilities with WordPress. I would say that is the most common non-problem question on these forums. How do you integrate the logins so you can log in at either bbPress or WordPress and the login carries across to the other side. Integrated; seemless.
2. The other common thing people want to be able to do is make their bbPress install look like their WordPress install. Loading WordPress inside bbPress is not recommended, but it’s the easiest way to accomplish including the header, sidebar, footer, etc. But, that seems to break other things. Regardless, I would say that’s the second most requested feature, how do I get my bbPress installation to look like a WordPress page. I know it’s not a WordPress plugin, but, this is what people want.
So, 1) integrated logins and 2) making bbPress look like WordPress. If it can’t do those things easily, then it’s just forum software. Maybe it’s better in the things it does and doesn’t do, compared to other forum software, but we should stop saying you can integrate bbPress and WordPress because it just doesn’t happen easily. So, it’s forum software from the people who make WordPress.
Also, WordPress 2.5 is recommended by bbPress for integrated logins. 2.5 came out around April 2008 IIRC.
You know, I thought the same thing as johnjamesjacoby when I saw this post: how about fixing what’s broken and leave Facebook alone. Then I thought Facebook doesn’t take much time to set up and it might be a good diversion. So, it’s harmless in and of itself, but, really, I would prefer to fix these two issues and then see the volume of support requests here drop off a cliff.
Just my $.02.
In reply to: New forum layoutI don’t think the the BB in bbPress should ever be small caps. Always lowercase. Looks better.
+1
Looks worse this way, IMO. I like the little bb. Is bbPress a trademark like WordPress is (capitalization included)? If so, then there’s no question. It needs to be little bb.
In reply to: New forum layoutOh yeah, I didn’t see it wide yesterday. Nice.
Are blockquotes styled differently now?
Yep!
Thanks Sam.
In reply to: Check for topic pages > 1Since this plugin does pagination, there are functions in it to figure out how many pages there are then add page links. I suspect if you looked at the functions you might be able to see how it was done by _ck_.
In reply to: New forum layoutIn reply to: New forum layoutMuch better
In reply to: New forum layoutHow about the spacing after a code block?
10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"
20 GOTO 10
How much space is there above this line, after the code block?`
In reply to: New forum layoutNope
In reply to: New forum layoutAre blockquotes styled differently now?
…only wanted to alleviate some of the long standing complaints people had about the layout. I’m planning a more thorough overhaul as we approach bbPress 1.0
In reply to: Can i share blog in bbpressPlease explain further.
In reply to: WordPress and BBPress ThemeIn FF3 or IE7 it does not look like _ck_ saw at all. Looks fine to me.
In reply to: PHP 5 and “500 Internal Server Error”I’m curious though if the files in the initial version you installed had the wrong permissions.
Thanks
In reply to: PHP 5 and “500 Internal Server Error”PHP scripts don’t even need to be that high, 0644 works fine too. Directories need to be 0755. Did you fix the problem by doing something? I noticed this topic is marked as [Resolved].
Were some files supplied with the wrong permissions from bbPress?
In reply to: PHP 5 and “500 Internal Server Error”Can you look at any logs to see why the 500 error is occuring? Sounds like the web server does not allow the directives you’re trying to use in .htaccess.
BTW, I use
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .phpon almost every install without a problem. Maybe the server just doesn’t support it. Does your host have instructions for enabling PHP5 for your webspace?In reply to: Limit front-page.phpDoes this do anything like what you want?
In reply to: Using iframe tags?How about the Admin can Post Anything plugin?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-can-post-anything/
Is this for admin use only?
