Cyclecincy is currently using the default theme that comes with bbPress 2.0.
bbPress already does do this, yes.
The process isn’t being sped up, other than 2.0 being close to complete. What would help is having more developers contribute to bbPress core, and if we had a codex where members could contribute documentation.
Once 2.0 ships I’ll be looking into how to best setup a codex for us.
Staff forums, moderator forums, or maybe you want a plugin to create caps on the fly per-forum like BuddyPress. Lot’s of reasons why.
You should alert the theme author. They should be checking the post_type on the query before filtering it.
I’d suggest making a hidden forum and moving your topics into that for now. I’m sure someone will make a hidden topic plugin.
This is a new one. The topic tags are updated on each reply with the contents of the input box. This is by design but will only result in empty tags if you reply to a topic with the tags input empty, so that forum members can self-police them. They are replaced as easily as they are deleted.
One current drawback is if you trash or spam a topic, it could leave empty tags behind. I’d maybe open a ticket for it, and I can look into it further. Right now I can’t reproduce the bug, but that doesnt mean it isn’t one. 
Strangely this doesn’t happen in hidden forums. Create a trac ticket and I’ll take a look.
The bbPress plugin does this, as it’s a pain to mark a user as spam and have their posts not be spam along with them.
Awesome Good to hear it. Should be pretty stable for many Novembers to come.
Makes sense. You should build it
Sounds like a bug. Please make a ticket, and a patch would be awesome. Probably just don’t run the forum update handler if the post status is not published.
At best guess, something is up with the table CSS. Each cell should be allowed to stretch to fit it’s content.
Can’t help because I can’t highlight anything or click on anything that isn’t a link.
Sticky order is based on the last post time, and bbPress treats them differently than other forum software does. They aren’t “super stickies” or “announcements” but rather stickies that appear at the top of the topic index, or are “Stuck to Front.”
That won’t be a good fix. Looking into making the redirect smarter.
Make a trac ticket and I’ll put it in the 2.1 milestone as an enhancement.
Forums don’t have pagination, as generally you wouldn’t want to limit them.
If topics are also being limited to 5, something else is up. Is it possible the theme you’re using is limiting them? What happens if you switch to bbp-twentyten?
I have them turned off for now, as many shortcodes assume the post author has the trusted ability to post content, which for forums might not be best.
It would be a rather simple plugin to create, although you’d probably want some kind of UI to map shortcodes to user roles. You may not want every registered user to post a poll, but you might want to allow users to use code formatting, for example.
I will remove it this weekend. Thanks for the heads up.
The search in bbPress 2.0 is purposely limited. It’s possible to remove the restriction with code (a small plugin) but I wouldn’t recommend it, since the actual number of users that search your forums is surprisingly small.
For an example, had you searched these forums, you would have found several topics about this already. Instead you naturally skimmed the site, didn’t see an immediate answer anywhere, and asked your question.
You can do that fairly easily by reading the plugin descriptions. Please understand that this is a transitional period for bbPress, and things are going to be a little confusing for a while.
Also, keep in mind that any bbPress plugins in the WordPress repo, were there for a very, very specific use case, where bbPress stand-alone was integrated with WordPress. That type of setup is considered ‘advanced’ by most users, so the audience is limited.
Lastly, browsing the plugin repo for ‘bbpress’ probably isn’t going to really provide you the results you want anyways. You’ll have better luck looking for the functionality you want, and then seeing how nicely bbPress plays with it.
Perfect thanks. You’ll have a much better experience with it in the WordPress plugin repo; more downloads, users, etc…
Yes. Delete the plugin via your favorite FTP program, and see if things come back to normal. If so, you need to do some trouble shooting to see what the conflict is. If not, you still need to trouble shoot, but at least you know bbPress isn’t the problem.
