@chishajer ~ thk u for your efforts here on bbpress. i second your opinion! open source doesn’t die, it just forks..
and with 9 active tickets 1.0.3 is just around the corner. 
@dbneeley Buddypress 1.2 is supports WordPress 2.9.1 (or whatever the current version is) so no hassle of installing MU, if you want the multi user functionality you can install the wordpress alpha which is compatible with Buddypress 1.2. @R-a-y did a good job explaining the differences in forums in BB vs BP. If I was you, I would use bp.
Gautum – very nice! Have you investigated the use of @user mentions over at TestBP.org Perhaps integrating the two would be a great idea for future compatibility?
@Dainis ~ I’ve answered this question in the appropriate buddypress forum.
I’m be happy to help out on my ‘off hours’. I believe that, the ole’ Bulletin Board is the backbone of the Internet and that BBpress is the best example of an extremely light, elegant system. BBpress is my fave and i’ve followed the trac from day one. In fact, I’d even go on a personal crusade to get the new JQuery forums off of zoho and onto BBpress. I’d like to re-emphasize this https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/future-of-bbpress#post-60022 and the importance of forums throughout the wp family. +1 to Ron_R “What I would like to do with bbPress is make it a canonical plugin to ensure its longevity and continued development.” And like the previous commenters, I think the codex is the best place to start.
the first thing I would do at this point is get a backup of your database. In Cpanel, (i don’t use) i’m sure there’s a myphpadmin button somewhere. Call you’re host and get em to point you to it. once there.. hit export, and get a .sql format and export again to one you can read (excel). I’m guessing here, but it looks like the prefix on the user tables is the problem. englisl5_bulletinboard. is not being found but the rest of your tables are.. or perhaps when you tried to “doing something” with wp-admin, you meant wp-config.php check in that file .. and this line. “$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;” .. or if you can give me more info on what you did perhaps i can help.
let’s take that as a no. go to this page bb-admin/options-wordpress.php
go down to User database table prefix the value there should be “wp_” is it?
i just tried to register and see you’re problem..
[Table ‘englisl5_bulletinboard.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]
…so you were installing to share your user table with wordpress,
are you able to look at your database?
maybe a bit more about what you did “something to do with wp-admin”? are you sharing the same database for wordpress and bbpress?
delete the bb-config.php file in your installation’s root folder…
and just reinstall by returning to the directory you installed it in.
Disable all plugins! upgrade the bbpress RC-1,
try again. if persist it sounds like your user tables are mangled probably due to something similar to dragunoff

you try to clean up using – http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming/php/#wp-dbmanager
.. are you sharing tables with your wordpress installation?
use the RC-1 version of bbpress if you want to integrate the two
