The .pot file needs to be updated. I’ll make sure it’s done in 2.1 by the time it’s released.
Don’t delete anything from the bbPress plugin folder.
Chances are you have a /css/bbpress.css file in your theme. It will now act as the full bbPress theme stylesheet, rather than pulling in two separate files.
endearndrew – can you drop a note in the 2.1 topic that this is resolved, and anywhere else you brought it up? Thanks.
Search for bbp_show_lead_topic. This has been answered here several times before.
Marco – thanks for the feedback. No reason to double post this. Trac is plenty fine.
Not the same issue at all. Also looks like you fixed it.

It’s a bug. Will look into it.
Look harder. Plenty of examples in the forums here and the codex.
What your site looks like is not the intention. Your theme is not compatible with bbPress, since it’s doing something o override the WordPress template loader.
Way is suggested above deletes all revisions, even for your blog posts. Easier to modify the theme to not include them.
I see no pagination on your links above.
Not experiencing any of these issues on several installations. Can you please try your updates again? If you have anymore feedback other than ‘it broke’ would also be great.
Update to bbPress 2.0.3; should work just fine.
Try visiting your permalinks page, and saving them. Sometimes they need a refresh after bbPress is installed.
Tried registering, and it does redirect me to some other weird site (which I assume is the main one on the network.)
I bet it’s WordPress redirecting, since it expects the root site to manage all sign-ups. Could probably use some help figuring this out and fixing, since you have an installation exhibiting the issue already. 
If you’re using the bbPress plugin for WordPress, it will put its data in the same database tables as your WordPress installation.
There is an “uninstaller” in development, but I suspect most people won’t ever want to completely destroy all of their data.
The only security concerns would be the ones you create, like allowing them to be Editors or Admins. The default user role prevents Subscribers from doing anything malicious.
Shortcodes are explicitly prevented from working inside of bbPress.
The reason is because Shortcodes do not care who uses them in what context. If you enable them, all shortcodes will work for all users. This allows all of the bbPress shortcodes to work, inside of bbPress, which enables normal users to embed forums inside of topics and replies. No good.
You’re on your own if you want to go down this road, but I wouldn’t suggest it. Shortcodes are transparent, and a poor experience for most users (since they are completely invisible in the UI.)
Instead, I’d recommend building something for bbPress 2.1 (still in development) and write a plugin to tap into the power of TinyMCE.
Clearly links that don’t function isn’t normal; if everyone had this issue, 200k other bbPress users wouldn’t be using bbPress. Sorry if bbPress didn’t do what you expected, but it’s working great for many others.
Overall, it sounds like your theme is the culprit, and that you don’t like the way it looks. That’s a design decision; one that you will need to solve on your own if you don’t like the default styling.
bbPress has never tried to be exactly like “all the other forum software.” The philosophy is to be the smallest and simplest to use, and I think it accomplishes that pretty well inside of WordPress. If it’s missing things you wanted or expected, you are free to build those things yourself.
Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks. Nacin’s looking into it. Someone will report back soon.
WordPress runs post slugs through a sanitization filter to make sure there are no collisions. As such, no two slugs can be the same, regardless of the type of content that it is.
How can i disable HTML and/or VISUAL editor? (2.1 plugin version)
Have you tried Settings > Forum?
Unless you’re talking about conditionally toggling the mode, in which case you’re on your own to build that as a plugin, similar to WordPress.
Hey thanks! Good to hear it’s working out!
Probably best to fix the issues with your theme instead. bbPress 2.1 is due out soon, and then you’ll be ready for it.
But, to answer your question… Just delete the plugin folder, and no forum/topic/reply data will be deleted.
You’re doing it exactly backwards to accomplish what you want to do.
You do *not* “need” a page with the slug “forum” or “forums” to make your forums appear. They will just work, based on the slug you set in Settings > Forums.
If you want the index of your “forums” to show “forums” then it’s slug needs to be “forums” and not “forum”
If a WordPress page has the same slug as something else (“forums”), the page wins.
(If your forum archive slug in Settings > Forums is “forums” but you have a page with the slug “forums” then the page will appear and it will be whatever the_content of that page is.)
You can have an unlimited number of permutations on the forums to look and work. It comes with the most obvious (and working) settings out of the box.
You can include slashes in your archive slugs, so hierarchical pages work, too.
This part is not broken, it is not a bug. It’s two settings that you need to make match, and you’re in control of both of them on your own to operate however you want your site to operate.
