Yah it looks like you need two main sets of features:
* Photo uploads (you can use bb-attachments for this, although you’d have to mod it)
* Extra fields tied to each topic (i.e. store data in topic-meta)
There’s discussion of topic meta here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-bbpress-for-a-university-book-exchange
You could a few existing plugins as is:
* https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-ratings/
* https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/random-topic/
Hope that points you in the right direction! You probably need a developer to help you build/adapt the plugins you need… good luck!
What are the main features you’re looking for… the ability to store extra pre-configured fields in each topic?
If you’re a Keymaster or Admin, you should already have the capability to see IP addresses! They will appear next to each post… and if you click on them, you’ll see all the posts made from that particular IP address.
If you’re an admin and they don’t appear, try switching your theme to kakumei maybe?
Yah ashfame nailed it… if you google the exact text of the error, you’ll see lots of similar reports.
Btw, what’s up with all the spammy tags on this post (free online games, online gaming)… did somebody add those besides the OP?
I haven’t seen any reports of that issue on the forums… you might want to try upgrading to the latest 1.0 release, and see if that helps?
Did you paste the code into a my-profile-fields.php file, and move it into your my-plugins directory… then activate the plugin?
It should be in the root of the WordPress install?
http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/trunk/
If you also have a WordPress install that you’re sharing the database with, I think you can use the values in your WordPress config file in your bbPress bb-config.php…
Your bb-config.php file is in the root of your bbpress installation… you can edit it in any plaintext editor.
It looks something like this:

Ah ok, GoDaddy requires you to change some settings… there’s a nice writeup here:

Here’s the key link:

Hope that helps!
We’re all a bit worried… hopefully Sam is doing ok!
Are you setting up a standalone bbPress install, or integrating with WordPress?
Also – who is your webhost… are you on GoDaddy?
If you’re looking for broad plugin support, you’re probably better off on bbPress 0.9.0.x for now… it’s going to take some time before a critical mass of plugins works for bbPress 1.0.x.
The Hot Topic plugin has a flaming icon – you could just replace it with an animated gif instead:
https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/hot-topic/trunk/hot-topic.png
Or just change this file name in the settings are of the plugin:
$hot_topic=”<img class=’hot_topic’ src='”.$hot_topic.”hot-topic.png’ />”;
WordPress itself just underwent a pretty serious security attack:

Since bbPress 1.0 shares a lot of code with WordPress (through BackPress), it may or may not be vulnerable… hopefully Sam can weigh in definitively on this one!
Yah I’m guessing it’s either a bug with 1.0… or someone needs to use the recount feature in the admin!
Are you browsing in an FTP program? Often FTP programs hide advanced files like htaccess… you have to change some settings in your program to see it.
What program are you using to browse your files?
That’s a pretty old plugin… have you tried this one?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/user-directory/
I can’t vouch for it, but it looks newly maintained…
If you can narrow down the bug report, it might be worth posting to trac?
https://trac.bbpress.org/report
Sure you can upgrade – just follow the instructions here:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/upgrading/
However, definitely back up your files first… as you can’t reverse the upgrade other than restoring an old backup.
Also – do you use any plugins? Many plugins don’t use in bbPress 1.0… so make sure your plugins are available in 1.0 (or that you can live without that plugin) before upgrading.
Good luck!
I’m not following – what’s the issue with the search page?
