i had to uninstall the whole thing, including the database tables, then set it up fresh, i did not touch permalinks this time!

at one point I had to delete the htaccess file. but don’t take my word for it, there are several posts on the subject.

this is probably not the best solution, but I do hope the bbpress people can make set a sticky topic on this subject, including a warning, as looking through the forum, you and i are not the only ones who had this issue.
