This seems a great time to mention a new hidden feature in bbPress 1.0 based on a suggestion I made: “Safe Mode”

When you don’t know why something isn’t working, one quick and easy way to prove if it’s a plugin gone wrong or not is to temporarily try “Safe Mode”

The way to activate safe mode is to edit bb-config.php and insert

$bb->safemode = true;

Then your forum will temporarily switch to the default theme (which you should never have tampered with) and disable all plugins, temporarily.

When you are done testing, remove the line from bb-config.php

This is far easier than deactivating 20+ plugins, one at a time and then having to activate them again.
