I have the exact same problem but even when they login to wordpress 2.7 they are shown “You don’t have permission to view this page”.

I have to manually change their role to subscriber which is not ideal at all. It seems to me that bbPress should make a user who registers through the forum a “subscriber” in wordpress but it’s not. I think bbpress should have the same roles as wordpress to cut the confusion down. The whole purpose of using bbpress was because it intregated with wordpress but if it doen’t habdle the roles automatically, I may as well install phpbb or vbulletin.

I love bbpress, but if I have to perform task manually, what is the benefit of using bbpress?
