For sure chrishajer. Mdawaffe is posting something up in the next day or 2 that will allow users to by-pass akismet with known users so that we can get this resolved and have Akismet back working without sending each user to BOZO status!
Trent
Have you updated to the 0.8.1 version of bbPress yet? If you upgrade, you will see the checkbox to unedit the BOZO portion as chrishajer has suggested above with screenshots. Just make sure you overwrite all the files so that you are using the most recent version of each file and then test it again with and without the Akismet turned on.
Trent
Unless I am missing something, I think radkitten’s issue is that they are a bozo when they head back into their profile and they see a checkmark in the box. They can correct me if I am wrong. It most likely has Akismet as the problem because the user is passed through Akismet filter when you view your profile and it may keep flagging them. That is why I wanted them to set Akismet to false in the config.php to make sure that it doesn’t get passed through and test it out.
Trent
This is something that mdawaffe is working on to be implemented in the next version of bbPress because it is almost a ‘bug’ to have certain users even tested against Akismet and the topic check with Akismet will be obsolete here soon. This will definetely be in the next major release!
Trent
It is on the wishlist for sure, but there is no good reason I guess. Future versions (1.0 I would imagine) will have it so that we whitelist users from Akismet check. This will make life much easier! As for the BOZO admin, this is on my wishlist for sure!
Trent
Do you have akismet set in config.php? Maybe try setting it to false and see if that helps. Akismet may be catching you for 1 reason or another. Try that and report back. If you are being set as a BOZO with Akismet off, it must be a weird bug that we need to sort out! Let me know!
Trent
I don’t think you should delete the bb_usermeta table because it is a really important table! It houses the privelages of each and every user! If you later integrated with WP, it might have your BOZO information in the wp_usermeta table.
Trent
The following is the encypted version of the password “test”
098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6
If you go into the database and put that in, your new password will be “test”. That will get you going!
Trent
Put it in TRAC as a recommendation. With the new options, this should be pretty easy to implement!
Trent
Good to hear! It really did seem like a file that was uploaded corrupted or in the wrong format! Good to know it is working and thanks for updating your progress!
Trent
Nice! I learned something from that post! Wow!
Trent
Without stepping out too far on a limb, I think that each blog (or forum) has it’s own key to keep track of what is done with each user and require their own key. Since they are free, it isn’t too hard to get one, just go to this post and follow the directions.
I see what you mean about having a special bbPress key, but I doubt if it will ever happen in the near future.
Trent
I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, but it looks interesting! Do you have a forum with a post that this is working at for a demo linickx?
Trent
I know there are only a couple of us viewing this on the weekend and I am not sure what to change to get the CSS changes for colors. The only thing we have so far for editing the size is:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/67?replies=5#post-295
The color is determined by the #hottags portion of style.css in your theme! There you can change a few color things around!
Trent
We do not have a special key hidden, 
It has to be added to your config.php! Example:
// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage
// of Akismet's powerful spam blocking, you'll need one. You can get an Akismet key at
// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/
$bb->akismet_key = ''; // Example: '0123456789ab'
Still requires getting a key from wordpress.com to work!
With the recent re-works of the admin, this might be a great option to store in the database through a core plugin!
Trent
I can view everything in the forum, just not topic.php and it seems like it starts to load the header information and then chokes. I would suggest uploading from your root:
/root/topic.php
/root/bb-templates/kakumei/topic.php
I just know the URL seems correct, it is just not making it all the way through. See if that helps!
Trent
You can find the German Language file here! Welcome:
http://www.creatom.de/showroom/de_DE.mo
As well, you can find a list of localization files here
Trent
Unfortunely it doesn’t work that way. I have to check up on that!
Trent
I have always noticed this and never said anything. Maybe stick up a TRAC ticket for it!
Trent
The great thing about bbPress is that it can handle a great deal of things that you want and integrates really well (perfect user integration) with WordPress that can handle all the things that bbPress cannot do. There are also many plugins for galleries and chat with WordPress as well. bbPress has plugins for private messenging and other great things! I would think, between the 2, you could have a great online community!
Trent
There is nothing written or in the works that I know of, but if you can get into phpBB format, there is an importer:
https://bbpress.org/forums/search.php?q=import
Trent
A little daunting at first for sure. Here is a link of clients that you can use to connect to the TRAC SVN plugin page for youself:
http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html
That particular link has the clients to connect to the server. Once there, you give the address that you were emailed for your plugin and then drop and drag your plugin files over to the 3 directories. Make sure you read this page on adding a plugin because it has all the information you need including the readme validation. You have to go through that with a fine tooth comb because the plugin shows up on the plugin page based off the information being properly formatted at the top of the plugin and from the readme file. It is all on that page, as well as what to put in each directory.
I created a version number folder and uploaded it using the Tortoise program from the links I gave you first for programs. It then asks for a username and password. Use the one you use in these forums and it will work for you.
That should get your started!
Trent
That is great to hear! It can be a bit of a pain to get going at times, but really worth it!
Trent
Without downloading the entire bbPress again, you can get config-sample.php (to start over) at:
https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/tags/0.8/config-sample.php
