@JJJ: Thanks.. I’ve created a bug for the missing option to choose a Hidden or Private forum as parent. And after moving the language files to a subfolder named bbpress the translation worked. I’m trying to figure out the importer problem, to make a good bug report, and as far I can see you’ve already fixed problems that I made quick-fixes for (the same way I did it).
So the problem now, is that I can’t run the importer at all (returning the blank “content” after specifying the path. I’m looking into it, and testing to see if I can figures out what’s going on..
I have a new and simple questions, which might be a bug:
* Shouldn’t it be possible to choose either users og user roles of which are able to view hidden and private forums? As far as I can see, Administrators are the only one to view these, and no changes can be made.
Assertion:
The problem with forums is that one must read/browse/scroll thru all the information you don’t want to see… until you then find what you have been looking for.
Question:
Is there a theme for either WordPress or BBPress that would like a Microsoft File System Explorer provide access to BBPress?
Q2:
Is there an inherent limitation in the BBPress database or Theme or Widget Plugin that would disallow a developer from implementing a theme with these types of widgets?
Thanks,

@jerledb – Login/register are supported via page templates, there is a login widget, and eventually shortcodes too. A register widget is a nice idea but leads way to lost-password and activation widgets, none of which will make it into 2.0.
Spam isn’t really handled yet, since there’s no one spamming forums that don’t use software that isn’t released yet. 
There is a Trac ticket regarding Akismet integration, but either Akismet will need to be updated or a special version of Akismet to concentrate on post spam (which isn’t really a WordPress issue.)
Regarding IP addresses, there are WordPress plugins to help with this, and WordPress multisite comes with this kind of functionality baked in. Traditionally WordPress doesn’t handle spam at a user level, since registered users are typically already trusted to some regard. We run into this issue a little bit even here at bbpress.org. bbPress does log the IP address of every topic/reply that is created, so a plugin can use that to check against a ban list or something.

JJJ – thanks.
Is there any point installing Standalone… if it is not to be continued?
Now you didn’t say it was a dead end… but that is what I am guessig.

Let’s try to keep these conversations in one place. I see three topics from you about the same one thing. I’m closing the others and let’s keep the discussion here.
See https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-plugin-theme-integration for more…
@kmessinger – Never *modify* existing bbPress files. Nothing in /plugins/bbpress/ should ever be *changed.* If you copy the theme out of bbp-twentyten is one thing, but never make changes to core files unless you plan on contributing those changes upstream to the bbPress project. Regarding the templates not appearing correctly, did you follow the instructions here properly? Did you move the files from the root of bbp-twentyten into your child theme too? (archive-forum.php, single-forum.php, etc…)
@zeldain – Are you using a shortcode to output your forum root? If so, there’s no way for bbPress to know where the root of your forums actually are when you’re *not* viewing that specific page.
Check Admin > Settings > Forums for a better understanding on how breadcrumbs work. You are able to make adjustments to bbPress slugs similar to making changes to your WordPress category and tag slugs, to help you configure your forums the way you need them.
@Tokyorock – Please don’t ask the same questions in multiple places. There aren’t a whole lot of us answering questions yet, so it’s just more work to do. The reason your theme isn’t styled, is because your style.css is empty.

@telesoft – Lead post updated. There is no comparison chart, and nothing like that will happen until bbPress 2.0 launches.

@DanielJuhl – Those don’t sound like questions as much as noticing bugs. For the fixes you’ve incorporated into the importer, can you share them on the development Trac so I can look at your approach and use them as the basis for fixes for Beta 2?
Regarding the languages folder, you need to put them in /wp-content/languages/bbpress/
In Beta 2 and beyond, the bbp-languages folder makes a return, and it can use GlotPress integration to provide the proper language files.
Questions
If the answer to previous question is the Standalone stream does have a future then is there ‘feature’ comparison chart that would serve to differentiate the state of each stream?
I suspect that the Standalone stream will be orphaned and hence would seem to make sense to install Plugin 2.0 as either ‘plugin or standalone’.
Interested in learning more… thanks.

Question — Standalone or Plugin Stream?
Q1: Does the bbPress Standalone stream have a future?
Q2: Can the bbPress Plugin 2.0 Beta be installed as Standalone?
—
Q3: Shouldn’t this information (response to the above questions) be front and centre on either the download or the installation instruction pages?

I’m working on a danish translation of bbPress, and is about half way through, but would like to test if the terms are used correctly in context. But for some reason I can’t make it use my .po file. I’ve copied both the .po and .mo to the /wp-content/languages/ folder, and the files are named: bbpress-da_DK.po/.mo
What is wrong?
@JJJ: Any change, you could take a quick look at my questions? As I would love to move on testing tomorrow..
My dashboard now shows this under forums.
Theme natively supports bbPress
You are using bbPress 2.0-beta-1.
Progress!
