One note: I was using Private Forums for several years, and it had an occasional bug where if I saved my admin settings… the private forums would intermittently become public! I had to check the private forums every day to make sure they hadn’t been compromised…
The Hidden Forum plugin seems much more stable since I switched to it a few weeks ago, and there are no reports that I’ve seen of similar behavior:

Just a heads up!
What other plugins are you using, and what version of bbPress are you using?
Hey everyone,
I haven’t completely finished pimping my bbpress forum, though I thought id share it with you at this stage. Let me know what you guys and gals think, good or bad feedback is always good.

BBpress Forum: http://www.flowfm.net/forums
Look forward to your responses,

I have bbpress installed in a subdirectory (http://www.domain.com/forum), with WordPress in the root, and I’m using a Private Forums plugin (among various others) and it was all working fine until this morning, when suddenly I am unable to login. I have two accounts, but can’t log in using either of them. (I have sent an email out to find out if I am the only one with this issue or if it is more widespread).
Symptoms are that I get the login page, so I login and am immediately presented with the same screen again.
I’ve tried disabling the Private Forums plugin, which makes the discussions visible, as you would expect but I still can’t log in, and I can’t post, so I’m not logged in ‘behind the scenes’as it were.
I’ve requested a new password, but that hasn’t helped.
I haven’t integrated with WordPress, I haven’t uploaded any new bbpress plugins, or run any upgrades. I am very puzzled.
So does anyone have any suggestions as to what might have changed, or what I can do to restore functionality?
I’m looking for talented coders/designer who can help me theme a bbPress forum to my needs.

Hi,
1st of all, thanks for this screen-cast.
I have followed your screen-cast and succeeded with integrating WP 2.7.1 and BB 1.0 alpha 6 in different directories.
http://mydom.com/wp/ (WordPress)
http://mydom.com/board/ (bbPress)
My issue is that logging in and out is working fine as long as WP handles log-in and out! And not the other way when logging out from BB.
Issue 1:
When I log-in to my WP and go to BB log-in works fine, also the other way from BB to WP.
But if I log out fron BB and go back to WP – I’m logged out but the META link is not updated and WP thinks I’m still logged in (which I’m not!)
How can I make the log-out work through BB aswell.
Issue 2:
Registering through BB gives me no role inside WP!
I have bbPress integration plug-in (wp) installed and everything else is working fine! Roles are made inside BB-WP integration just like in the screen-cast.
Can someone please help!
Thanks.
Got this error script url right under my “add this topic to your favorites” option:

It links to this URL: /forums/profile.php?id=3&tab=favorites
When I click on this: “Subscribe to your favorites’ RSS feed.” which links to this: /forums/rss.php?profile=3
It is just a blank screen.
This just started showing after I removed a signature from my profile. No idea if they are related…
Using BBpress 1.0-alpha-6
The WordPress plugins directory has improved searching now with Sphinx. See here: http://wordpress.org/development/2009/02/new-and-improved-plugins-directory-search/. Will bbPress get Sphinx too?
Thanks for the comments. I have just released v1.1 to hopefully fix the block issue:
http://ericlbarnes.com/projects/toonewsy-for-bbpress/
we dropped vanilla because of lack of support. things were going out of date when wordpress was being upgraded so the integration was starting to break. we also need PMs and the system on vanilla was extremely unsecure. we’re much happier with bbpress as it’s a lot easier to customise.
With bbPress, Can you categorize people into groups? eg. investors, entrepreneurs, etc? so that you can ask questions directed at a specific group?
~Thanks in advance
Can you check your Apache access log and see what the browser User Agent is, so you can detect that and then craft some CSS specifically for that (or all) browsers?
This thread covered someone detecting mobile browsers and then serving up a different theme:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/change-theme-if-mobile-browser-detected#post-19618
Keep browsing:
https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/10
No release date that I know of.
I’ve browsed the forums, but I couldn’t spot any details on the expected release date of another alpha or the beta?
ok guys i just can’t get it
i figured out, that the file where wiseacre brought me to is the pot for the Alpha 5! I found a pot file for the Alpha 6 @
1 Documentation
2 Installation
3 http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/
4 pot
5 tags
BUT: Big problem with that pot. I translated it two times and everytime i try to translate some phrases with:
“%d” e.g. “%d topic:”
then this phrase cant be translated. And after the try, the pot file is broken. i cant open it anymore and ALL TRANSLATIONS are gone. thats very very frustrating.
Problem of me or problem of this
http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/pot/tags/1.0-alpha-6/
.pot?
Using poEdit 1.4.2
Works like a charm for me 
Saves me about 5 bot registrations per day
Hey I just got:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function do_action() in /usr/local/gathera/bbpress/index.php on line 6
Apache/2.0.55 (Ubuntu) mod_jk/1.2.14 PHP/5.1.2
BBPress: version 0.9.0.4
I don’t know if it matters but, last week I installed bbpress on a server without any problems. So this week I try to install it on another server, but I just got the line above and a redirect to bb-admin/install.php. But when I click the link(“let’s get started”) I see the line above again and redirects to the same page. The only difference between the two I have noticed is that one have an WordPress Installation (I didn’t activate integration, I just ignore it).
I’m really lost. Any ideas?
I assume you’ve already been through these:
https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/phpbb
What version of bbPress are you talking about?
Anyone know of a current phpBB to bbPress importer? I’ve got Jaime’s (http://www.iteisa.com/phpbb2bbpress/) which is getting me some way, but doesn’t seem to be aimed at the current DB schema.
I’m going to keep hacking away, but any suggestions would be gratefully received.
I just converted the TooNewsy wordpress theme over to a bbpress template. Here is a link to download it and see a demo:
http://ericlbarnes.com/projects/toonewsy-for-bbpress/
Hope someone finds it useful!
Flip back to the default themes and see if the problem persists. If no, it’s the theme. If it persists, collect the following:
1) bbPress version
2) Plugins
3) WP version (if integrated)
and report back!

And yeah, that is a pill! You should be able to tweak it with CSS to put in a special layout if you can detect Eeepc … What browser does it use?
hey rowoot, i do not think you can bbSync to replace my wordpress comment system with forum posts, but it doesn`t seem to work with wp 2.6.3 + bbpress 1.0a2. well if there is i too would like to know about the same.
Cheers!!!
You can use fel64’s unofficial plugin to add a new Role:

I’ve used this together with Hidden Forums, and it works really nicely!
