@traveljunkie – Looking into it.
@_ck_ – Thanks. By virtue of WordPress.org Extend we already get a dedicated tag for support questions (which I’m keeping an eye on.) I fear having a specific forum here only calls attention to an issue that doesn’t exist yet. Half of the topics here aren’t in the correct forums anyways.
If your theme isn’t compatible, there isn’t anything more bbPress can do. You need to talk to the theme author and ask them to update it.
Read through the sticky topics here. It sounds like your theme isn’t compatible with bbPress, or something isn’t configured correctly.
Just making sure since you said “trunk” 
What theme are you using? Can you link me to your site to see what’s happening? I just checked my installs with bbp-twentyten or using theme compat, and can’t duplicate.
Are you using trunk for standalone, or SVN plugin branch for WP plugin?
@moshimuncher – I don’t see any bbPress powered forum content on that site at all.
@_ck_ – Doubtful. For the small volume of topics per day that come in, I don’t see the point of forking our own forums.
Remove the bb-config.php file at the root of your site. Chances are it’s getting in the way. Also there’s a meta entry you’ll most likely want to delete. If there’s anything in your wp_options table prefixed with “bb-” go ahead and delete those. Lastly, your bbPress install needs to exist in a folder that the server can access and that WordPress isn’t trying to control. This is typically a “forums” folder somewhere in your public_html folder, depending on your host.
The language files are different, but people are already translating 2.0 over at translate.WordPress.org.
Probably the place for it to get the most developer discussion is in the Trac. I’ll put it In the 2.1 milestone, since we’re already in beta for 2.0.
@Paul – once again you’re right on target. Originally bbPress hijacked the WordPress login URL function, which proved problematic as there was no settting to to say WHERE that page lived. Same with the sign-up page. These functions of WordPress are not easily extended, but they can be completely replaced. Sadly, replacing them means recoding a great deal of them, which starts to take a great deal of time on something that does already exist and already has pluggable solutions in the form of WordPress plugins.
@Chip – That’s probably the easiest way, yes. If you’re familiar with WordPress themes (which I am fairly certain you are) this should be pretty painless.

@kai920 – Please don’t bump topics, especially if they’re still on the front page.
I’m against the idea of using wp_register(); since it redirects you to wp-login.php to sign-up instead of using a registration page in the theme. Also, the idea with community sites like bbPress and BuddyPress, is usually to keep members out of the admin area. Promoting them to enter it seems counter intuitive.
@selise – that will be fixed in Beta 3
@Syrhen – Only forums can have topics. Categories cannot. I’ll likely add a note to the metabox before release.
Nope. Both sound like plugin territory to me.
Not really an optimal fix, since it’s still loading the sidebar. Ultimately if you want a custom theme, you need a custom theme.

Anything is possible, but that’s plugin territory.
Nope. Definitely not a bug; that’s the desired behavior.
The thing about these breadcrumbs is everyone wants them to do something different, because everyone configures their sites differently. I’m aiming for a ‘please no one’ approach now.
If you want to remove the home link, you’ll need to filter the breadcrumb with a custom function in your themes functions.php file, or write a plugin to remove the link or change the text. I’ve made it pretty easy to do, and it will be easier for Beta 3 which should be out in a few days.
The plugin itself should work without a hitch. You will need to adapt it to work correctly within your bbPress powered forums however, so chances are something like that will not be turn-key simple.
I will +1 the members plugin. It does exactly what you need it do.
I think I know what it is. Fix pending, and will probably require a Beta 3.
Will update in a few hours with a definite answer.
It would take a small plugin to piggy-back on top of bbPress. It would hook into the ‘bbp_has_replies_query’ filter, and switch the ‘order’ argument from ‘ASC’ to ‘DESC’.
Or, you can drop something like this in your functions.php file. (Note: Not tested, so this code might not actually work.)
function bbp_reverse_reply_order( $query = array() ) {
// Bail if no query
if ( empty( $query ) ) return;
// Change the order
$query = 'DESC';
// Return the adjusted query
return $query;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_has_replies_query', 'bbp_reverse_reply_order' );
