Actually its same hosting company, EU datacenter rather than US west datacenter. I was being a little vague as to the hosting company, 5 hops on a tracert rather than 18+, much more responsive.
I have got it to connect to the db by editing the bb_meta table, values for user_bbdb_name, user_bbdb_user, user_bbdb_host and user_bbdb_password, its now working to some extent, but user identifiers dont seem to be mapping correctly, so I cannot access as a logged in user on the bbpress side.
try the hidden forums plugin
What mods to this would you need to do, to instead of killing registration, diverting the registration to your integrated wordpress registration, I’m using bbp 1.0.2 and wp 2.8.5
