I had to shut down my neighborhood forum due to nasty spam content mostly from Russia. How can I prevent it. I do not have problems in WordPress, just the BBpress forum area.

Erm? bbVideo works fine for the stand alone bbPress version (I have it working on my site).

If it’s bbPress 2.0, my post toolbar plugin handles Youtube videos fine.

I currently only have three topics so I can follow along… I have made them all favorites… What does that achieve?

Next I clicked subscribe.. What does that do. I tried to see if that was an RSS feed and get all comments funneled to my outlook rss reader.

I thought having all new postings go to my outlook reader would be good… Am I correct or does the subscribe do something else?

Just below the comment box (or new topic box for that matter), you can check whether you want to receive an email when someone posts a follup-up…

And you can mark topics as favourites, which would be usefull when your forum grows and you want to make sure you don’t miss updates on certain topics.

@Trifon I made the change per your last.. http://jeff-foliage.com/fall-foliage-forum/ and I think your’re correct that this will make it more user friendly… Of course if anyone else has suggestions I will be happy to consider them also…

I had a server issue and the admins were scrambling to try to figure out why is was dog sh*t slow… Well it seems to be back among the living and running nice and fast.. I hope not to many here got fed up with that…

It’s looking good as far as I can tell… Oh! if anyone feels I have earned a +1 on the page, feel free… I’m trying to get some more traffic.. aren’t we all?

One thing that might be nice is an email when a post is made so I can follow up.. This won’t be good if the forum got real active but when I only get one a day it would be nice to see new comments…

I’m assuming that new replies is where I should look for comments and if someone posts a new topic it will show up there.. If I had my way though I would want one page that shows both new comments/replies/topics all on one page… This I don’t seem to have with RC1 release… Unless it’s buried somewhere and I haven’t seen it..

Does anyone have some expertise with importing from the stand-alone bbPress? I created another topic a while back with a very detailed account of my failed attempts at importing a somewhat large forum.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-plugin-20-rc-1-large-forum-import-failure

There haven’t been any responses yet so I’d be grateful for anyone who might have some further ideas to try. I’d be happy to dig in and share my findings with everyone if I can get pointed in the right direction.

@folgerj

You can use the Dashboard’s menu’s to see most of that.

If you use the default ordering of topics and posts, combined with the excerpt view, it displays the items by freshness and gives a small preview of all which happens on your forums.

From a UX point of view, I don’t find the page with the forums very user-friendly. I’ve got a pretty high screen resolution, but I have to scroll down to see the forums which I expect to be there.

I’d put the forums on top and the login and such at the bottom. If I want to read, I can go right ahead. If what I read interests me, I’d look for a way to sign in anyway… But the content should come first.

Hi there,

can anybody recommend a nice theme which is compatible with bbpress 2.0?

Thanks

Jo

Pretty excited to see if you can find another topic to paste that link into.

[lakospeter]

I discovered this problem today and it’s so frustrating I don’t know what causes it:

On most topics I can only see the first post per page. I can turn the page, but only the first one shows up on that particular page. Nothing under the post shows up, not even the html tags are put out. The HTML just ends with ‘[less_than]li id=”post-1218″ class=”alt”[greater_than][less_than]div id=”position-‘.

I later discovered that I can only see a finished, normally rendered page if only one post shows up (e.g. the items per page is set to 15 and there are 16 posts on the topic and I’m on the last page).

The reply section only shows up if the above condition is met and I’m on the last page. After I send my post, it makes the number of posts on that page 2, so again, I can only see the first one and nothing below it.

---

I was using version 1.0.2 with the Ajaxed Quote 1.2, Allow Images 0.9, bbPM 1.0.1, Private Forums 5.0 and reCAPTCHA bbPress 0.2 plugins when I discovered the problem.

Shortly after that I updated to bbPress 1.0.3 thinking that a file might got corrupted, but the problem hasn’t been solved.

The strange thing is that I didn’t update or change anything in bbPress since yesterday (when it was working correctly).

I have no control for the phpversion, this is on a server I bought access to, so this might have got updated. phpinfo says: version 5.2.17-0.dotdeb.0

I was searching in the database too for a potential malitious comment (because I have had spam users despite using captcha) but I haven’t found any. Plus the nature of the problem doesn’t hint to that. (I can see all posts if I set the items per page to 1).

MySQL version: 5.1.49-3

BTW, everything in the admin area and besides this problem seems to be working just fine.

Please help me.

Thanks,

Peter

I’m having the same problem with a floating.js script. It works fine on my main site, but not on the bbpress site. Implementation is identical.

[Rian Rietveld]

@pimarts, Thanks looks good, i will try it.

[Kye]

Excellent, thanks!

[John James Jacoby]

I’ve added a multisite option to handle the assigning of the default role and caps. I see value in having it work either way, and can see a case for toggling this setting even on a per site basis.

Multisite crisis averted.

[pimarts]

You might want to give this one a try:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/

[Rian Rietveld]

Well actually, all I want is some buttons for text markup and links and a way for users to add a picture to the post. Apparently the plugins I picked can’t do that.

I really like bbPress a lot, as far as i can see. It’s simple and the visitors of the site i’m building it for aren’t geeks, so it looks just perfect. But adding a picture and links would be nice.

[pimarts]

@7i7GRiFFiN – bbPress 2.x is still in beta. It’s perfectly normal that it has ‘problems’, that’s the risk of running beta software.
