How do I add a space between lines or paragraphs in the stock theme that I am using? I tried adding the tag
and it does not add a space between lines or paragraphs. See this link “http://invictatrader.com/bbpress/topic/momentum-trading-a-practical-day-trading-strategy-to-get-profits-from-hot-stock” for an example.
Thank you.
How can the attribute “rel=no follow” for links be added to links in a topic? Is there a plugin in bbPress that renders all links or a chosen few to “rel=no follow”? When I used it like this <a href="http://........."rel="nofollow">.....</a> my stock theme removed it and made the link non-clickable.
Thank you.
There is a plugin available that lets you delete users:

Thanks for telling me about BBPM plugin – I will look into that.
Do you know of any plugin for Comment Length limiting that I can use on a bbPress forum e.g. limit a posters text to say 1,000 characters per post.
Yes, i use bbPress 1.0.2 and Human Test work.
Check this http://keskustelu.hpguru.net/register.php
Human test is 6 + 8 = ? etc.
Is Human Test plugin compitable with BBPress 1.02?
Is it one of those hard “write in this word” type of things? Those are impossible to read!
I don’t see screenshots anywhere. I don’t want registration to be even harder.
Are they timed bombs? Will they one day mutilate my forum with spam? Or what is it that they do? None of them have posted anything.
I use bbpress 1.02, will that plugin work for me?
Sounds like it!!
Try this plugin by ck… it really helps cut down on spambot registrations:

The last two days, I’ve gotten four new members on my BBPress forum.
These are Ashlynbap, Dariinortiozy, Queenmum and Tarahum.
All of them have websites linking to Viagra or Acne-removal. All of them have email adresses ending with”.info”. None of them has posted anything. Is it safe to delete these users? What should I do?
Curiously, these users joined after removing Akismet – which did not to a good job.
the private messenger plugin has been replaced by BBPM.

Good luck!!
I want to integrate bbpress with my blog at: http://angerwise.com. I want to create that same theme from the blog for a bbpress forums, and have header, the top menu, and the wooden side panels, appear the same on both the blog and the forums.
I have a budget of $100.00.
Is there anyone here who would be interested to do a job like this?
Take a look at these 3 screenshots taken using the web developer toolbar for firefox. The red outlined area is the current element being highlighted and the toolbar shows the name of that element. I suspect you didn’t intend for these elements to be positioned this way?

(why so much to the right?)
http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/div-login.png
(why so wide, and why does it include the search box)
http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/div-search.png
(look how low it goes)
Also, check when I hover the mouse in the search input field: the toolbar shows
form .login , but nothing about the search div.
http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/form-login.png
(the cursor is a crosshair in the search input)
I suspect that’s a clue to why you cannot access the search input or the search button: it’s “behind” the login form.
i have latest wpmu 2.8.5 installation with built in integration of bbpress. i have created a test group and posted 2 forum topic but when going from front end to forum topic it gives message “Sorry, there were no forum topics found.” you can see my site at http://livetalent.org/forums/
I have just change the domain name of my wp-bbpress integration and I have the very same problem O_O
Before changing the domain name all worked fine. I deactivated and reactivated the wp integration plugin, I checked all the .htaccess, config files, I disabled the integration but same behaviour.
Now I’m looking at the database but I still don’t catch the fail.
1) Do you know if it is now safe to install the Private Messenger Pluin onto bbPress. I know there were some serious security problems some months ago – do you know if these have been solved?
2) Also does anyone know of a plugin for Comment Length limiting that I can use on a bbPress forum e.g. limit a posters text to say 1,000 characters per post.
Hi,
I have installed bbpress in /mydomain.com/bbpress
I have mapped a subdomain http://forum.mydomain.com to /mydomain.com/bbpress – everything works fine – just that the URL shows http://mydomain.com/bbpress
Now, I go to bbpress settings and change the URL to http://forum.mydomain.com – the forum and posts stop working. Gives http error 500. Admin pages work properly.
What could be the problem?
Kanchan
By the way, I also found out that when you are in the same case, i.e., you can’t access the admin when you’re a key master in the first place, you can browse the forums nonetheless and post new topics or reply to them. However, while you’re at it, you can’t mark threads as sticky.
So the real solution will be to logout and log back in while in bbpress.
Ahhh, I’m having the same issues. I guess this is inherent to the BbPress and WordPress integration. So that’s why. I’m wondering if there have been any solution for this.
Is this a theme people would be interested in using?
I don’t mind sharing just my CSS would need some major cleaning and will probably try to work at improving W3C compliance. Also I still think parts of my bbpress main page template aren’t working quite right 
Codex. Codex. Codex.
Open up a BB Codex like we have with WP. How are we going to get more devs to start hopping on the bbPress bandwagon? While many of us enjoy sifting through code when we get the extra time, good documentation is always helpful to get people started. Heck, even some better inline documentation would do wonders right now.
Seriously, when was the last time this page and its subpages have been updated?
https://bbpress.org/documentation/
I’ve got more work than I can possibly handle, but I’d be willing to develop things for the bbPress community. I just don’t have time to spend reading through all the code, line by line, to see how things work.
Give developers a chance to make the platform shine.
The success of WordPress comes from the vast number of add-ons (themes and plugins) for the system. Without them, WordPress probably would’ve died a long while ago.
The lack of documentation is probably turning a good number of developers away from the system, developers that could be creating plugins for many of the features that users want.
This is the area that needs the most improvement. Let’s work on documentation first. Then, we can start thinking about other things bbPress needs.
Themes
I’ve seen a handful of decent themes I’d use, but (as far as I know) there are no major theme developers in the bbPress community. Documentation would go a long way in helping here. This is especially true for designers that don’t know all the ins and outs of the platform’s PHP code.
I’d personally start coding bbPress themes if it supported the same type of parent/child theme setup that WordPress has. I’d be happy to port all of my WP themes like this.
