_ck_, I love you, (and you are without a doubt the absolute best when it comes to plugins) but I for one am very excited to have the ability to use gravatars and voice built into the core bbPress program.
Respectfully to all, just because the ABILITY to use a new feature is built into bbPress DOES NOT force one to use it. It’s still totally up YOU. No one HAS to incorporate Gravatars or Voices into their site, but it is very cool for newbies to simply turn a core feature on or off rather than needing to download a plugin that is probably months or even a year old…praying it will work with the latest version.
Am I saying Sam should build an NES Emulator and a Weatherbug Widget into bbPress 1.2? HECK NO.
(Sam, start with the Atari emulator instead)
But things like Gravatars, (which Automattic owns) have tremendous potential use (goodbye individual avatar uploading for every single forum, hello universality). And the ABILITY to display voices makes sense to add in (being able to show the number of different people contributing to a topic certainly enhances bbPress).
Perhaps I am in the minority here, but I am hoping future versions of bbPress will continue to add these sorts of new features that make the bbPress experience more enjoyable for all users.
There are also changed files in BackPress which need to be copied over if you do it that way.

_ck_, I was fully aware when I upgraded, which I did first on a test install. I am glad I did. Everything works beautifully and it was worth it. All the plugins I am using are working fine. There is only this minor glitch and I thought it was clear enough that I understood you are not supporting the plugins with the new version, and that the question was not addressed to you, not to bother you. I said it’s understandable that you are not, and in no way I was expecting that you drop everything, nor I was thinking that I knew any better.
I am very grateful for the plugins you have written and that I am still using on 1.0. There is nothing wrong with asking if other testers (starting from the alpha) are also using the anonymous feature and if the display name was working for them. It’s a support forum, after all!
The meta bug was pure stupidity on my part. It only caused visible problems in the profile page somehow, but there you go.
Both that and the “get user by email” issue were enough to force a new release.
A reminder to those using 0.9 not to upgrade to 1.0 yet as many of my plugins (and others) do not support 1.0. I will not be addressing plugin upgrades until December.
1.0.1 changes:
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset?old_path=tags%2F1.0&old=2294&new_path=tags%2F1.0.1&new=2309
to download changed files only:
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset?format=zip&new=2309&old=2294&new_path=tags%2F1.0.1&old_path=tags%2F1.0
The meta issue seems the most serious to me.
A number of issues have come up since 1.0 was released, mostly minor, but one that was found today justified a minor point release for security reasons.
bbPress 1.0.1 released
All bbPress 1.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.1
Read Only Forums has not been tested or fixed to work on bbPress 1.0 which is why you are probably having problems. If any of my plugins work on 1.0 it’s mostly luck at this point.
As far as hosting, I wrote this little bit last year:

Try deactivating bbPress Moderation Suite for a minute, I want to see if it reduces the load at all. You can see the queries count yourself if you do a “view source” in your browser and scroll to the very bottom where it says:
This page generated in 0.53 seconds, using 34 queries.
these are the plugins i have activated:
Akismet
bbPress Moderation Suite
bbPress Polls
bbSocialize (since deactivated)
Check For Updates
Google Analitycs
Human Test for bbPress
Instant Password
New User Notification Email
PollDaddy for bbPress
Read-Only Forums
Turns out you need to properly name your bbpress directory identical to the desires url path…
ie: if you http://example.com/forums you have to upload the bbpress press directory to /ftp/path/root/forums/
This needs to be better explained.
Hi,
I installed bbpress, had to do it twice since the first time failed. The second time is installed without errors, however, if I go to the link it emailed me http://domain.com/forums/ I get a 404 error. Do I need to edit a .htaccess file or something? I’m using permalinks if that makes a difference.
Windows has a “large font” mode under the advanced display settings which turns everything into 120dpi instead of 96dpi, it makes some fonts larger. I would guess that at least 25% of the people out there use it because at high resolution the fonts are too small on most monitors.
Something is wrong though with the number of queries used on your pages, I am worried a plugin is malfunctioning under 1.0 – can you tell me what plugins you are using? Queries are how bbPress gets data from the database. Each kind of info needs a query, a user, a forum, a topic, etc. A clean install of 1.0 with some forums/topics uses probably 15-20 queries for the front page, yours is using 35 which seems excessive.
yikes, i don’t even know what query count means, but yes i’m on a shared host from whom i’m looking to leave (they don’t provide any ssh or RoR support). I’d appreciate an explanation of query counts, _ck_, thanks, man.
as far as the fonts go, i installed ie 6 and 8 on my girlfriend’s pc running vista, i made .posts show up as 1.2em because i kinda like when the content itself grabs attention, and it didn’t look to bad (also increased line height to 1.3em), but it’s hard for me to test xp and ie. i know that macs see 72px and win sees 96px but i didn’t realize it changed it that much. should i just inherit the 1em, which is 62.5% in kakumei?
not sure where the “remember me” thing is. i’m going for the “large text, where the content is the focal point” kind of community, ala phorum (which i considered before deciding on bbpress) but if there are problems with any users i definitely want to fix em. mac w/firefox is a small market share, i know, but those are the on-the-fly-fixes.
anyway, i appreciate any and all input.
thanks again, _ck_, you lead a community of great developers.
This is great info. Awesome work.
I recommend continuing to use the plugin. There are only a few cases where integration might work without it.
Then i´m the luckiest guy on planet 
For me it seems to work fine without the plugin. I created some test users and i had no problems to access both frontends/backends logged in at the same time. Tested on different machines. But if you recommend it, i will install it just to prevent later problems that may be appear.
Thanks for your help so far! But what about the two folders mentioned above?
I decided to test out this new version of bbpress on another website I have on Godaddy. I couldn’t link from BBPress to the Msql wordpress database and followed the steps to link to the database. Godaddy tested out and said that nothing wrong with the database.
BBpress asking for
Database Name (so tried with both Name and host name)
Database User (so put in godaddy msql User Name for wordpress database)
Database Password (Put in password to link to that database)
Did not work and gave following message : There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.
Please check the settings, then try again.
Godaddy said that the settings are fine.
Any suggestions.
Reputation plugin is not adding and subtracting points as indicated by users. Also we wanted to change so that a post did not mean 1 reputation point but only when you gave or took away reputation points.
@vulvodynia
I thought those files would be automatically created. I’m chasing this up with our i18n person.
@chrishajer
Nice to know it was smooth for you!
Ah sorry Chris – I should’ve been more specific! Yah exactly what JD mentioned… the first four are doubles of the second four Topics Started.
On my profile, the first two Topics Started are doubles:
https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/johnhiler
Your profile page seems all right, as far as I can tell:
https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/chrishajer
But _ck_ has her first two topics repeated twice:

Hi smi1ey,
Could you elaborate on how you resolved the problem? I’m facing the same problem that you have but I don’t really understand your solution.
Thanks!
