Looked around. There is a plugin called “Approve User Registration” but it doesn’t work. I ran a bunch of test registrations, and never received any emails. Guess it’s outdated.
I also tried the “Private Forums” plugin, but I couldn’t get that to work either.
So, I downloaded the plugin ROLE MANAGER.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/role-manager/
Using that, you can create many roles for people. I duplicated my “member” role, then changed some of the restrictions.
So, I have a “member” who could read everything, but not post.
And a “verified member” who could post. So, when I get someone that registers, I can change their role manually and make them verified.
I’m checking to see if this plugin works well with the “New User Notification Email” plugin. If that works, then I will get a new email whenever someone registers.
@DarkWolf.it – Thanks 
Someone has a signature patch in trac, but I’ve asked them to make it a rock solid plugin instead. I’d rather have that be someone people plugin rather than disable.
Topic/reply promotion could be accomplished as a plugin using the post_order attribute which is currently only used by forums for ordering them similar to pages. We may try something similar eventually for the .org support forums, so we definitely see the need for this.
I would like to have bbpress use the wordpress sidebar widget, anyone tell me how?
Secondly, Is it possible to have it so the wordpress frontpage(without using “Pages”) to show the “Announcements” Forum as posts?

@JJJ: really compliments for latest update 
In past i’ve request user signature but i don’t remember if i’ve already asked for topic/post promotion (i think, like vbulletin/ipb, is a good idea to have a way to promote – or move – an article in blog/category/homepage).
Dunno what conflicts this might cause but I modified lines 86-91 of bb-settings.php to:
if ( defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
//$wp_filter = array();
//$wp_actions = array();
//$merged_filters = array();
//$wp_current_filter = array();
}
This prevents wordpress filters and hooks from being removed.
This is my problem: I can add topic, but i can’t read it. When I click on topic title (forum page), I go to group page with message: “There is not entires in this topic” – this is my translation, becouse I’ve got polish version BuddyPress.
What is wrong?
When BBpress loads it wipes all actions/filters that were registered during the wordpress load. It does this so that all the feeds and sitemaps and external files (js etc.) don’t get put in the bbpress forum.
That is exactly what I want it to do so I am trying to figure out how to stop it from wiping them and will let you know how I get on.
The plugin that isn’t ready yet, John?
…Tease.

I installed WordPress, everything working fine. Then I installed bbPress in folder called /forums. But when I enter username/forums in my browser, “I get This link appears to be broken.” I thought it was supposed to install bbPress at that point and then I would enter the database information.
Well for those interested. Here is how I solved it… Skipped the integration step all together. After install, I defined the cookie path in both config files, regenerated all the unique kees and salts, installed the bbpress plugin for WP integration, entered the settings and role mapping (make sure you do this before saving) I had to redo this b/c I role mapped myself right out and couldn’t get in at first

Awesome the last alpha! This is looking good! Go Fight JJJ and Gautam, good work!
I have WP/BP integrated on a site I’m working on. I’d like t0 use my WP header/footer. If I understand correctly there are really 2 different ways to do this. Deep integration or simply edit the the bbpress header to match the WP header. Is there a preferred way? I don’t really need any of the other WP functions within my bbress install aside from matching header/footer
If you create a topic or make a reply in your bbPress powered forum that comes with BuddyPress, it automatically creates activity feed items to match. The plugin will be integrated in a similar manner.

You can checkout a copy (if you know how to do it). The SVN link is on the download page. Otherwise you can get a copy of the alpha version from here – https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk (scroll down and download as Zip Archive). Hope that helps.

I was thinking… I’m using bbpress, wordpress/buddypress..
Buddypress has @mentions, is it possible to make Buddypress stream forum activity?
(forums is separate yet fully integrated) (including @mentions)
I am having a very hard time understanding the instructions. I have uploaded the unzipped bbpress files to the following folder:
campbellduke.com/sandbox/bbpress (sandbox.campbellduke.com – as it’s an addon domain).
When I go to sandbox.campbellduke.com/bbpress, it redirects correctly to the bb-admin/install, but the page gives the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/camp2909/public_html/sandbox/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/pomo/translations.php on line 139
If, on the other hand, I go to: sandbox.campbellduke.com/bb-admin I end up back in my wordpress dashboard.
Help!

Im running an integrated (NOT deep integration) install with WordPress 3.1.1 with bbpress 1.0.3. Everything is setup and working great between WP and bbpress except for 1 issue…
When I login using the forum sidebar, I can only see that I logged in once I refresh the page, or go to a different page (example: click on a forum). Once I refresh, the login prompt goes away and I see the logged in user information, logout prompt etc.
Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting? Ive went through the integration guide and double checked everything.
Are you using PHP 5.3? If your host allows, then switch to 5.2 till the time bbPress 1.1 isn’t out. (Or you may try out the 1.1 alpha)
