Aw, you’re all so afflicted. 
A few of the more vocal people in the BuddyPress forums raised concerns about me dual wielding projects, so it made more sense to address it there than here. Plus there’s a bigger audience over there, and since both blogs feed into the WP dashboard you’re all going to see it regardless.
It’s easy to assume that no one is thinking of you guys, I am, I was, and I did.
And yes, I’d like to have /something/ usable in a month or so, like I said in that post “give or take a missing feature or two.”
So, buck up. 
Thanks for the link Gautam. I’m really looking forward to the plugin.
I would however appreciate some more info on THIS site. It feels a bit strange that we don’t hear information like that on bbpress.org.
Its not integrated at all…
you’ve just used
<IFRAME SRC="http://tangotool.com/gmodforum/bbpress/" WIDTH=870 HEIGHT=1600></iframe>
I’m sorry but we don’t call it seamless or deep integration.
You can learn about the capabilities assigned to each role in the file bb-includes/functions.bb-capabilities/php
https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/tags/1.0.2/bb-includes/functions.bb-capabilities.php#L56
Well, According to my little bit experience in bbPress World, its really not a good method to use just iframe to make forums seamless.
You’ll actually need to make your forums seamless / deep integrated with wordpress by following these Instructions. I hope it will work. Thanks
Try this:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registration-email-1#post-71361
You can modify the registration email and add the proper link there.
You could also do it with Mod Rewrite and .htaccess. But since you are not using permalinks on your site, maybe you don’t have access to mod_rewrite with .htaccess.
Shane, if you would like to talk to someone about having this work done for you, please post your contact information here and then we will close the topic and people can contact you directly. Thanks.
If you’d like to contact Ashfame, you can do so at his website:

Specifically, Key Master and Administrator?
They seem pretty interchangable… I know the BBPress Doc files are pretty infantile at the moment, but what are the key differences between all the roles?
…*insert ZOOL reference here*
bbPress in Iframe? that’s really strange
I’ve never heard about it before.
Can you please mention your forums link here?
It will be easy to find the problem.
Thanks,

Hello, I have integrated bbPress in an iframe and looks perfect to be honest. 
My only problem is being that The theme doesnt look good out of the frame but when someone registers for an account it will send them to the actual forum location.
I was wondering if there was some way that instead of the email telling them the actual installation path it would direct them to the page on my WP I have the frame at or not even have that at all.
I’m open for any solution. Thank you.
I saw ashame’s suggestion, but I’m afraid I don’t know enough about bbpress to manage that. I’m not opposed to paying someone to get this problem solved.
There was things I could have done much better
for sure man. Mass email = 99.998% flagged as spam.
The only way to avoid been flagged as spam is to send the notifications into batches that by default are no more than 50 addresses per email like what happens in the “Mass Email” functionality of phpBB. (addendum: a lot of hosts allow you to only send X email per hour.)
I have built a lot of newsletter-like server-side software that sends the newsletter out to X of them every Y minutes using a cron job, with X and Y adjusted from host to host.
Right now there isn’t a plugin that provide this functionality but it can be easily achieved as ashfame suggested but you need some PHP+bbPress knowledge to code what you want.
Yes it was, and still is stupid.
There was things I could have done much better, but the absolute best thing, would be if you could do this with BBPress.
Oh ok. thanks for all your help
That is a question for BuddyPress then. The version of bbPress they included in BuddyPress is not really anything like bbPress any more. There are enough differences that you will have better luck resolving your issue at the BuddyPress forums.

It has bbpress integration in buddypress according to the admin panel
thanks
Sean
You say “groups”: are you running the forums that were installed with BuddyPress?
bbPress has forums and sub-forums. Just edit the front-page.php template file.
I am looking to have my bbpress forum mimic how a vbulletin forum works from a management standpoint.
I would like to be able to set main categories with sub headings underneath. Then within each sub category or just the main category, users can create threads.
Right now users can just create threads that must sync with a group in order for it to show up.
So I would like to be able to do something like this http://www.3si.org/forum
thanks
@Kralletown this search will also useful for you.

Happy Searching.
Thanks,

Please do it then. I got spamblocked for having sent out a mass email to all my members.
A couple of months ago I wrote:
“I mean that you will likely be banned. You should hire an email marketing service. “
and then you replied:
“Thats the stupidest advice I have gotten in all of 2010. “
It seems that my advice wasn’t that stupid.
Hi Kralletown,
You will lose some data in the transfer (attatchemnts as I recall was a biggie for some folks), but in theory none of the important data.
It also depends on how much you want to integrate with WordPress whether this is a good idea or not.
I’d loook at:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-gt-bbpress-converter-beta-release
A phpBB to bbPress database converter
Good luck
Hello.
I searched the forum for an answer, but I couldn’t find any up-to-date answer to my question. I’m doing a website for a mate who has a phpBB-forum which I’d like to integrate with a WordPress theme – and my first choice would be to import everything into bbPress. Is this possible without losing any information?
Thanks in advance,
Kralle
Who knows, its not like we get told anything, we just give up our time trying to help and answer support requests – and every 6 months Matt turns up and tells us we should have known everything all along ( usually, by Magic or telepathy, i guess we’re meant to know which ;-] ).
