    Thank you, that plugin was exactly what I wanted. Not a highly refined plugin but still works.

    Any other updates on how you can moderate posts prior to them getting published? I think this is one of the “MOST” basic function that one expects from a good forum software. I am surprised that such a basic function is missing from this software including some very basic profile features.

    I think it is important that the developers/owners of bbpress write/disclose this (lack of features) clearly on the homepage of the site so everyone will know what they are going to deal with once they install the software. Would save someone who absolutely requires these basic features a lot of time.

    I spent quite a few days installing and configuring the software only to find out later that such simple features are missing and there is no way to install them except by hiring a high end developer and spending loads of money.

    The software in its current form is great for running an internal/private/inhouse forum but not a public forum.

    I am looking for the way to reduce the topic size too. 80 characters generates large ugly URLs. The above solution is not working. Would be cool if someone could help.

    Thanks John for the heads up. This is what I did:

    1.) Open Wp-includes > kses.php

    2.) Find the following:

    $allowedtags = array(

    ‘a’ => array(

    ‘href’ => array (),

    ‘title’ => array ()),

    ‘abbr’ => array(

    ‘title’ => array ()),

    3.) Remove:

    ‘a’ => array(

    ‘href’ => array (),

    ‘title’ => array ()),

    I tried adding // but it does not work, so I removed the tag.

    Not sure if what I have done is the right method, but it seems to work.

    I have been trying to figure this out for months now without much luck. To the point that I am planning to shift to some other forum software.

    It would be nice if someone could explain in proper/simple steps as to how you can add custom profile fields?

    Still waiting. Would really appreciate a response.

    Ability to disable ahref tags would make it a lot easier to deal with ‘link spammers’ as this would discourage them to add useless replies/posts. So this is really a basic functionality.

    Ok was able to display the messeger IDs as well:

    <?php echo bbp_get_displayed_user_field( ‘yim’ ); ?>

    <?php echo bbp_get_displayed_user_field( ‘jabber’ ); ?>

    Now I jst want to figure out how to add a custom field like facebook ID? Any help appreciated.

    I was able to display website address in the profile by adding the following code to the ‘user-details’ file: (located under ‘bbpress > bbp-themes > bbpress > user-details.php’)

    <?php echo bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'user_url' ); ?>

    But I am not able to do the same to display a user’s yahoo messenger, gtalk and AIM handles.

    Also is there a way to display a user’s facebook page?
