whilst forums are part of bbpress – I think this is a buddypress question – try posting on there
https://buddypress.org/support/
yes use my provate groups plugin and set visibility
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
No problem.
I think (but don’t know) that many/most mailservers don’t bother actually sending anything to an address that starts noreply.
I don’t see this issue on my forums, so can only think that the emails just get junked somewhere.
If this was a universal issue, this support forum would be inundated !
Anyway I think you have a solution, so yes agree go for that
yes and no.
In essence you have something wrong with your car. This stage is just about trying to work out which bit of the car !
Whether that part can then be fixed I can’t say until we know which part and can start looking into it !
ok, that opened up a whole new area, and I think I’ve worked out what is happening !
When a new topic/reply is created, bbpress sends a email
to : noreply@vpinball.com
bcc : all the subscribers of that topic
Bbpress changed how this works in a recent version. It used to send an email per user, but many mail servers saw say 200 emails going at once as spam, and blocked them.
So now bbpress sends to an address and blind copies all the users, so that in most cases a single email is sent. This still creates a risk, as some mail servers block multiple bcc’s over a certain number, but is probably better for most sites.
Now the problem with this is that some mailservers will return invalid email addresses, and as your noreply email doesn’t exist, you get a failed.
so you could
1. create the noreply email address on your system, so that a mailbox gets them, and every so often just clear it out.
2. change that noreply email address to a valid email – I can give you code to make it anything you want, but as with 1 above a mailbox will get them so it will fill up.
3. change the code to send emails individually – the old code is somewhere.
Let me know your thoughts
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
probably caching software – what caching plugins are you running
so what does the email say?
is it
you are receiving this email because you subscribed to a forum topic. etc.
I take it you neither subscribe to every forum, or have a plugin that does mail type stuff?
ok, so what theme and plugins do you have?
try the shortcodes in my style pack
[bsp-display-topic-index show=’5′]

yes you css will need manually adjusting, but I had a look and couldn’t quickly see what in your css was setting that box width so small, but didn’t plough through all the css !
use my private groups plugin, which allows users to see forums, but not access content
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
It seems like a rather basic thing to have with a bulletin board or forum.
Probably not the best way to elicit a response
try my style pack, which has a breadcrumbs tab to let you decide what to show
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
No, I can’t see what is causing this !
It’s in your css somewhere, but I can’t find it !
suggest you use my style pack
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
and see if that gets you to where you want to be
great – glad you’re fixed !
suggest you try re-installing

yes, but it is a very old version and not supported use 1.2
