I love this (ugly) solution, thanks for taking the time to do what you did, and if what Ryan Boren did in a particular change in WordPress helped too then grand! 
With this, you can tell Automattic made a good call adding you to the team (congratulations again!)
Rich Pedley: Works OK for me, I never thought of just changing that portion (doh).
You always think about it after you see the change made, I’m sure I’d been playing about with that at one stage but had nothing like the final ”solution” shows … least we’ve got JJJ to help us! 
DeysonOrtiz: I dropped the ‘plugin’ folder into the wp-content/plugins folder and then changed the folder named ‘plugin’ to bbpress.
By rights it should show up fine in either folder. So inside the /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/ directory do you see a bbpress.php file? Can you just double check all the files needed to run the bbPress Plugin have been uploaded!
what is in the bbpress directory?
Hello,
It seems the plug-in does not show up in my Plugins-admin page.
I dropped the ‘plugin’ folder into the wp-content/plugins folder and then changed the folder named ‘plugin’ to bbpress.
Am I missing something
I am really excited to see this work!
Thank you.
Hi all.
Just set up a BBPress and WPMU integration. Finally got access to bb-admin files after a bit of tinkering around with the MySQL tables. I had to set a bb_capabilities value and set it Administrator, rather than the Keymaster I made etc. etc. I mention this only as it could be of relevance, I doubt it, but there we are!
I can now login, set up forums, admin them, people can register on the WP site, login at the forums, it’s all going great. Or so I thought.
When I go to the bb-admin pages, everytime, this hasn’t just started occuring, I get the following error messages:
Warning: Division by zero in /home/unibbco/public_html/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-statistics.php on line 214
Warning: Division by zero in /home/unibbco/public_html/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-statistics.php on line 194
Warning: Division by zero in /home/unibbco/public_html/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-statistics.php on line 174
Warning: Division by zero in /home/unibbco/public_html/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-statistics.php on line 244
Any idea on why this is and how I can fix it?
The forums have 3 users, no posts, only one forum.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
We need to create a basic import plugin. — This I have done, it’s experimental and I’d like some more eyes on the code before calling it “done”
I’ve looked for it but haven’t found it. I guess it hasn’t been published yet?
I ask for help in making a single-use script to import topics and posts into existing BBPress installation.
I need to import a legacy Q&A (hundreds of them) stored in a flat file. I need to handle fields missing in the source, which contains: Q poster, Q poster’s e-mail (optional), Q post date, Q content, A content. I want to import those and fill the missing fields with arbitrary values.
I chose to use API to do the task, which is a right choice, what was pointed above. I converted the source file manually and imported it into a multi-dimensional array. Then I want to use functions bb_insert_topic and bb_insert_post in a simple loop:
$topic_id = bb_insert_topic(array(...));
bb_insert_post(array('topic_id' => $topic_id, ...);
The problem is: I can create topics/posts only for current user. Any poster_ parameters passed to bb_insert_ are ignored. In other words, I can’t create anonymous topics/posts with poster credits I specify. I guess I’m missing a setting or constant?
The PHP script is located in the root folder of BBPress. I do require('./bb-load.php'); and log in to my keymaster user in the browser. All of $bbdb, $bb and $bb_current_user are populated (I used FirePHP to debug).
What am I missing?

That doesn’t work though – then you’d have to put the forum in that subsite as well.
So I’ll raise a ticker for the roles.
That’s in the plans but feel free to open a trac ticket. I’d like to work within the existing WordPress roles and caps if possible, but also understand it might be nice to have dedicated forum admins and moderators.
My immediate thought would be to enable WordPress multisite and use a dedicated site with dedicated ‘staff’ for the forums, but I also understand that’s only one particular use-case and isn’t optimal for everyone.
Hi Everyone,
First of, hello bbPress world!! I am a newbie here and am about to install bbpress on one of my wordpress sites. This is my first time adding a bbpress forum onto a wordpress blog and I have a few basic questions. I have browsed through several of the posts but have not really found a specific answer, so here goes my questions:
1) Should we be creating a separate database for bbpress or share the one we are using our worpdress on?
2) Is it recommended using a bridge so wordpress users can be members of the blog and forum without having to create 2 separate accounts, one for blog and another for forum?
Thanks,
Alex
Can I suggest that in the core plugin some new roles are added:
Forum Mod & Forum Admin.
Admin may not be quite as useful, but Moderator surely will be.
Couple of things:
sub forums currently don’t list on the main forum page – intentional?
currently the default order position for forums is 0, unless you are going to add in a better method for organising these, could I suggest a default order value slightly higher – or is this better served by a plugin.
style.css
would it be better to have an additional forum.css imported into this to keep the style for the forum separate, and making it slightly easier for people to copy the whole thing (minus style.css) to an existing theme?
Normally I’d also suggest importing the standard style.css from twentyten, but that may be difficult.

create a dynamic sitemap.php file in the root of your forum that appears as a regular xml file but what it does is displays the topics and replies and forums in a sitemap order using mysql and php.

Hi,
everything was working fine and all of a sudden the 3 field holding post count, topic count and author were blank
Anyone else have this problem ?
I didn’t change anything in the admin area, I think.

I actually thought the first sentence of above post was directed at my previous comment. That BBPress would triumph in the end. Before handbags came into the picture.

I think the correct way to add tags is by a plugin, normally you should never edit the core code of bbpress! because if you do, next time you update your bbpress you will be deleting the modified core files, then you will get trouble with your forum not working properly.. So the best is to use a plugin for things that deal with core files..
PS: Core files are files that are not Themes nor plugins, such as files under; bb-includes and bb-admin,
