Hi Christopher,
Thanks for the reply. I finally figured out that the forums are indeed “odd” and really not very friendly to setup or use. I was really excited when I found the WordPress, Buddypress and bbPress combination but my excitement soon turned to frustration.
I finally gave up on WP, BP and bbPress and went back to Joomla/Community Builder. While the Joomla/CB combination doesn’t have the finesse and cleanness of Buddypress they does offer a far more conventional UI on the front-end and far easier to manage back-end.
They also do a far better job of integration with other extensions.
WP, BP and bbPress feel like the Mac O.S.’s to me. Very pretty and work well… once you figure out how *they* want you to think. But they do things their OWN way and if you want to deviate, you get kicked out of the cult.
And the documentation is very Mac-like. “Do step 1 and then it works.” But they forgot about steps 2-10 as it’s assumed you already knew that.
