@ricardouk you should also not delete bb-config.php – there is no need to use a new copy of it, especially between minor version updates
@pbul2004 to avoid lots of spam you need a registration captcha plugin or “Human Test” and optionally askismet
Unfortunately there is no documentation on what the improvements between 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 were, there still isn’t even an official release announcement which is why I made one.
You’d have to read the notes from TRAC which unfortunately have been made a mess by changing all the file mime property types, even on unchanged files.
Uh oh… I think I just ran into a nasty issue that has taken me very much by surprise.
I have my forum set up and plan for it to be private, for members only. No problem, I just set the status of each forum to “private” and all is good right?
Well the trouble is, the forums are private but the individual TOPICS themselves are not! Anyone would be able to bookmark or otherwise share any post made in the forum, bypassing the hierarchy of Forum -> Sub-forum -> Topic
So, how do I go about making the actual topics themselves also private?
Thanks!

After several years of running bbPress on a forum, today a member pointed out that when they’re logged in and make a post, their member status is shown as “inactive” even though they are clearly active and to everyone else, they are labeled a Member.
This was the first report of this issue, but sure enough others, including moderators, noticed it today when we checked.
We’re running bbPress 1.0.2 integration with WP 3.1. We recently switched from WP Super Cache to W3 Total Cache so have been wondering if somehow that introduced the bug.
After googling around for awhile, the only thing I found about the issue was this old post on the BuddyPress forums of all things that says this is a known bug in bbPress: http://bit.ly/i0RlpS
Is that true? Is their anything we can do to fix this so users don’t get confused that they’re suddenly “inactive”?
do you guys think that it wil gona work on window xp???

Can anyone advise me where exactly to add the code for a paypal donate button if I wan it to show on my main bbpress page? I appreciate it. Thanks.
Any word if this version will play better with login integration on WordPress?

Really had a great time playing with bbpress again to create http://wannaverb.com – a discussion site to help connect people with similar interests, allow them to post activities and see who else would be interesting in attending that movie, going for weekly walks our heading to the pub. It’s just about ready to go live, just thought it deserved to be posted here before anywhere else.
In bbpress.php, topics and replies have 'revisions', as one of their features. Comment out those two lines.

here’s how i done it (1.0.2 to 1.0.3):
1- backup the bb-config.php or write down the database name, user and password.
2- delete “bb-admin”, “bb-includes” and “bb-templates” folders and all the single files from the bbpress root directory with the exception of “.htacess”
3- download bbpress, extract the contents to a folder, rename bb-config-sample.php to bb.config.php and edit it with the details from step 1.
4- send everything from that folder to your bbpress root directory clicking yes if your ftp program asks to overwrite files on the server.
it worked for me but i not using pluggins that allow visitors to upload files or images

Will upgrading help with the 100’s of spam posts im getting on my forum? I have had to take it off line!?
So i just download the new bbpress zip file and replace all the contents on my ftp? And my theme files wont be affected?
Do my theme files need to be updated as well?
Thanks

Upgrade the same way you upgrade wordpress.
You can install the new version over the old copy, just don’t delete anything.
Just make sure your template directory is not the same as bbpress default (kakumei) which you seem to be using “mytheme” so that’s fine.

Hacked means they injected javascript and such that was never meant to be posted by anyone.
Spammed is just malicious posts. If you are simply spammed, install askismet and a captcha plugin or my Human Test plugin.
Also, if you are running bbPress 1.0.2 make sure you upgrade to 1.0.3

Hi Mike, you are welcome to submit your plugin.
There may just be a css problem with the form in your browser?
I see the form just fine and it “works for me” ?

These are the changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.3
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/2958/tags/1.0.3?old=2339&old_path=%2Ftags%2F1.0.2
unfortunately the mime property was modified on files that were otherwise unchanged, so the file list looks huge, but most of them are unaffected.
also /jquery/interface.js was added in 1.0.3 but for some wrong reason they are using the packed version which is slower because it has to be unpacked on every page load, it should be the minified only version without packing and just let gzip do the compression work between the server and the browser
I’ve edited down the list and removed the property-only changes
