Thanks @netweb for the reply.

Which makes me wonder why you would use a nested forum such as:

Software (forum)
– Apple (forum)
– Microsoft (forum)

Is it the case that if you are then looking at the Software forum you see topics posted directly there mixed in with topics that have been posted in sub-forums, eg Apple and Microsoft?

Whereas is in your category example, if you look at Software, you don’t see any of the topics from the sub-forums, only links to the forums themselves?

Sorry if I’m being a bit dim.

Thx.

I just joined the forums to be able to ask about my failed install, but I think I see your problem having just gone through the install myself (albeit unsuccessfully).

You say you uploaded the files to your wordpress directory.

You’re not supposed to.

If your site is example.com and you want bbpress to live at example.com/forums/ then use your ftp program to create a directory called forums in your root directory (ie at the *same level* or alongside your wordpress directory, not *in* it), and copy all of the bbpress files into that directory.

Then in your browser visit example.com/forums/ and an installation wizard should start up (not that it does for me).
