This is more like it! Had to use bb_set_current_user() to make that work if anyone’s curious. I also found that adding $bb_cache to the list of globals removed an error similar to the one I was getting with $bbdb (so adding global $bbdb, $bb_cache is worth a go if it gives an error as in post #1).
Should work now, it’s generally nicer plus you can set the forum and excerpt length on a per-post basis if you want to. Hopefully stupidity on the scale above is avoided.

I should have tested everything. >_< A new problem’s come up somewhere down the line and new topics are not created. On the one hand it’s not working for me … on the other hand I’m too tired to fix it now.
I don’t advise download until I’ve fixed it.
Crowspeaker, started working on that but it’s been a little disrupted.
Sorry >_<

Yes. Do not supply a valid Akismet key.
A1: Yup.
A2: Not sure.
Q1: Why don’t you try keeping bb at example.com/forum instead of in a wpmu subfolder?
Q2: Do you need to include WP, anyway?
Jnewing, it is possible to give forums subforums in the latest development version. Grab a copy of 1.0-alpha off trac or wait for release.
Thank you for being awesome.
Dear individual,
that is strange. What did you change the name of that made it work? my-templates to what, or was it the name of the forum?
There is no such DB entry as far as I know.
There was absolutely no change just before bb switched to english?
Not really an explanation, but there is a very self-explanatory file that contains it all. Open bb-includes/capabilities.php and it’s laid out quite straightforwardly.
If you want to help future people with such things the best thing you could do is edit in entries for Member, Moderator, Admin etc. at http://bbpulp.org/ which is the unnofficial documentation we have going.
Not as far as I know. The worst is behind you, and if you’ll be administrating the site in the future then it’s a good idea for you to do this yourself anyway. Cursing about implementing it now will save you a lot of cursing in the future when something breaks, because you’ll roughly know where things are and how they work. Everything you’ve mentioned there has been done, though, or has a plugin for it. Plus we’re willing to help.
I recommend Quicktags over tiny mce, but it’s a personal thing really. 
Relevant also is #thread li.
Note that threadauthor has position: absolute; so it won’t affect the height of the post. As soon as you get rid of that it, the post is pushed to full height.
Alternatively, you could give #thread li the min-height: 200px property, which will make sure it’s at least 200 pixels high which should be sufficient to accomodate for avatar and username. However IE6 does not support the min-height property.
margins will push things apart, which might be what you’re looking for. Also .post needs to have a bigger margin.
Both approaches will give you a workable design. However when you’re working on these things there are really two things you should do:
- Change one thing at a time. Check result.
- Use Firebug.
Both of those are lifesavers and greatly reduce the amount of work and panic you’ll have. Switch to FF if you have to, Firebug is pure gold and absolutely worth it when you’re making websites.
Alright. Split up the <?php endif; else : // $forums ?> into <?php endif; ?> and <?php else : ?> and put the </div> we were moving around between them. Could work.
Did you actually go around to each user and set their bozo field to 0 and update? Otherwise the fix won’t work and neither would disabling akismet.
I’m think $bb->akismet_key = 'anything other than a key' does disable it. Take a look at bb-includes/akismet.php.
I’m not sure. You could grab 1.0 alpha or you could wait for the next major release which is when it was actually promised for.
Hey, if that worked for you can you do me a big favour? (If it didn’t work, this is worth a try!) Put it back at the top like you had it and then underneath it add
global $bbdb;
and see if that works. Thank you very much!
That’s too bad. It’s a pretty nice site anyway. 
Beige with green’s an interesting combination, but I think it works. The link colour when you hover over them clashes a bit, and I suggest making the brown you get when you hover over a thread title to be the same beige as that for the table headers, but I like it – especially the header.
Front-page.php I believe is used to create the ?new=1 page.
Near the very bottom, look for a <?php endif; else : ?> line. Below this it should have code for <h3 class="bbcrumb"> ... and then <?php post_form(); endif; ?>
The code between the else : and the endif; are what executes to make the ?new=1 page. Looking at my theme in comparison, I think that the </div> underneath the else : ... endif; should actually be above it. Try it. If it works, come back and tell us please, because then we should probably make a trac ticket. Never noticed this before – I hacked up kakumei into my template straight away and assumed it to be a fault of mine in rewriting the horrible if : endif; method into nice braces.
[Edit] Just tested it myself, and there are five </div> in the page source in kakumei and only four <div. Pretty sure that’ll be your problem.
Finalboss: look at the way this plugin filters the private forums from view currently. Look at the list of filters, find the appropriate ones and do the same there.
Pop this in at the top of your register.php file:
header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */
/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
In the long term it might be good to solve why bb users don’t work with WP, but I can’t think of anything off the top of my head.
What was the stupid thing? So future people can also solve their problem.
Was it that $bb->path should have been ‘/wp/bbpress/’?
I have a different version of functions.php to you, so I can’t track it down precisely, but my guess is that that line makes a call to $bbdb and that doesn’t exist. Could you check this? You can go to a certain line in Notepad by pressing Ctrl + G and typing in whatever line you want.
If the problem is with $bbdb, it’ll be interesting. I have the same problem (only when trying to load bb from inside wp).
Have you tried putting those lines at the end of config.php by the way? That could circumvent the problem.
To get it to be for Key Masters only instead of Admins (and above) only, use 'use_keys' instead of 'administrate'.
I recommend using Firefox.
Otherwise it seems a bit of a template issue to me. I’d personally hate using a template that used slow JS to tab what I was looking at, instead of letting me use FF to tab what I want to look at – although perhaps I still don’t understand it right.
