Things like PM’s are more BuddyPress territory. Image uploading is built into WordPress, so that can be turned on via a plugin to the bbPress plugin pretty easily.
The bbPress documentation will be revamped along side the plugin launch.
@willabee – This is fixed now. Subforums were still defaulting to 5 instead of adhering to the setting.
@ch8rt – How about removing the plugin entirely, and reinstalling it?
@alanchrishughes – Development has sped up in the past 2 months, and we’ve been able to get a lot more features in as a result.
P.S – the forum recount procedures are done, tested, and going through optimizing now. So one of the final bits before an official alpha on the plugin side is near completion.

Only recently has anyone stepped up to give bbPress any dedicated attention. Namely, me. 
Also consider that bbPress as a project is pretty much feature frozen. There isn’t anything more to add to it. There will be a 1.1 soon with a few extras, and that’s it for the stand-alone version aside from maintenance as needed.
A lot of this is already on the forums in several places.

Out of ideas honestly. If you have /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/ and all the necessary files are in there and not corrupted from the download and moving around process, then it’s file permissions.
That’s really the only one. Anything else is just loose ends at this point.
@andrejcarter – It isn’t obvious, but as it stands right now you need to make a WordPress page with the slug ‘login’ and assign the Login Page Template to it. Janky, but still being worked on.
Right now there’s an issue with trashing/deleting replies and topics in the plugin. Basically the topic/reply/voice counts don’t have correct logic, which can result in the counts going all wacky. This wouldn’t be so bad if the recounts in the admin area worked, which they don’t because they use essentially the same logic. This is a known issue and is next on my list of things to do on this.
@chuckmac @LPH2005 – Those meta keys are relatively new, and were an addition that wasn’t backwards compatible with previous development versions. Check this topic for the exact date of the change, but exactly what you found will cause exactly what you describe.
@Rob Bunch – With any prerelease software, you need to understand the risks involved. Just like @chuckmac and @LPH2005 experienced, it’s still possible for there to be architectural changes in the software that aren’t backwards compatible. There are countless changes between the stand alone and plugin versions since the data schema is so different, so certain things needed to be worked around late in the development cycle.
That said, it’s available for download so that you may test it however you are comfortable doing so. Just be aware if something crops up on your live site, there is a limited pool of resources to help you.
Moderated.
@jwindhall – You basically want shared user tables and nothing else, so follow the typical integration methods as if BuddyPress wasn’t in the picture.

Was in Phoenix at WordCamp, and am working on the BuddyPress side of things as well. Updates will come this week.
@Ramiuz – That’s not true at all.
The problem is an ongoing one that even Matt has blogged about in recent past. Part of the reason they’re able to pass the human test it because they might be humans registering real accounts and making real posts. WordPress.org, bbPress.org, and BuddyPress.org all suffer from a similar problem. I’m about sick of it though.
The news is in trac. There’s one ticket left in 1.1 and then it gets released. No sense in putting out a 1.0.4 to fix one bug that 1.1 will fix. Right now we’re in the middle of a WordPress, BuddyPress, bbPress trifecta release, so there’s three times as much testing to do to make sure nothing breaks.
If you can’t wait for a public release, download the trunk and do some testing.

This comes from using PHP 5.3 and having E_DEPRECATED turned on. WordPress and BuddyPress are equally bad about those notices, and eventually I’m sure some effort will be put in to prevent them. Right now the number of users on 5.3 is still one of the smaller audiences, so the urgency isn’t there yet.
Note: Those notices and that particular method of coding works fine in any other version of PHP. It will also still execute in 5.3, but will trigger errors if your server is configured to do so.
Such is life on the edge. 
I’m aware of the login issue and will fix in the next day or two.
Thanks for keeping up with the development though. It’s great to have eyes on it.
It’s a little weird to see bbPress installed inside of a theme, so there could be almost an unlimited number of things wrong.
The error looks like there’s a rogue semi colon in your password-reset.php file.

@rootside – Placeholders for the login and registration pages are in the current bbp-twentyten theme, but they don’t work yet. The goal is for the bbPress plugin to include these pages as WordPress page templates and short-codes, to allow for maximum flexibility in configuring your site.
Forum performance inside of BuddyPress is improved in 1.2.7 and will be further improved in 1.3 (which still includes the bbPress stand-alone version.)
Having BuddyPress load all of its code and process everything that it does is the bottleneck in your circumstance. You’d be better off loading bbPress standalone properly themed, then the bbPress plugin, and lastly inside of BuddyPress groups (regardless of standalone/plugin.)
But, I think it’s a horse a piece.
The more you need to load is the slower it’s going to be, and the more important caching becomes. The bbPress plugin will respond to W3TC much better than bbPress standalone and BuddyPress will, since it uses the existing WordPress object cache.
