bbPress 0.9 is imminent.
We will do some final testing against the final release of WordPress 2.5 first though.
Disappointingly that build does not feature a redesigned admin – is this not in the pipeline? It would be nice if it matched the new WP style!
Any update on a release date for 0.9?
This is really too much. Why can’t I post images in bbPress? I am about ready to give up and go back to pphpBB, even though I don’t like it. Instructions said to upload plugin to my-plugins directory, which doesn’t exist. I created it, but it didn’t work anyway, backticks or no backticks. Why should we need a plugin just to post an image?
After upgrading to WP 2.5 and to bbPress – branches_0.8-r1381
I still have this rights/permission issue. Can’t add more than one tag, etc.
Will wait for official .9 release and post an update. This is frustrating.
Eight so far. But the forum is far from complete. 
I would much rather have stuff like “Unread Posts” and a post preview integrated into the bbPress core than having to hunt down each and every piece of functionality my users expect from a forum.
Well that was a sneaky WordPress release.
They usually seem to wait for Mondays.
If you don’t want to wait for the formal official release of bbPress 0.9 , this is technically 0.9 beta (or release candidate) directly from the trac/svn:
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1381/branches/0.8?old_path=%2F&format=zip
You’ll need it to match the new password method in WordPress 2.5
There are a TON of subtle (and not so subtle) bug fixes in bbPress 0.9 – Sam and MDA have been hard at work.
I think WordPress.org already had Gravatar support for quite a long time, but I’m also interested, if they do run 0.9 by now?
Just a shot in the dark, but I’m guessing the new WordPress.org is using an updated version of bbPress. Looks new-ish! (has gravatar support, etc)
They’ve a bit slow with releasing the new 0.9 version 
^ I suppose you’re right in a way but certainly more feature should be allowed for it. I’m just praying to god someone finds a way to get rid of the password in an e-mail thingy. Lets hope it is released soon…
I am sure the team with have bbPress out very shortly – afterall WP2.5 was only just released.
@MUN33B: As far as I can tell from the nightly build I have been using, the sending password to email is still the default setting for bbPress (as it is with WordPress). In terms of comparing it to MyBB (which is a great bit of software – the team should be proud) it’s a bit hard – bbPress is intended to be a lightweight forum solution, minimal on features but highly customisable – where at software like MyBB tends to have all the features built in.
Well that’s my 2 cents anyway
I’m upgrading as we speak. I hope 0.9 comes out soon aswell. I hope they’ve improved Admin CP and features. And hopefully got rid of the whole send password in an e-mail thingy because that is one of the reasons I moved away from bbPress. MyBB 1.4 is in Public BETA and it is 10x better then bbPress. Hopefully 0.l9 will have major improvements.

2.5 is finally live. So will we be seeing bbPress 0.9 now too? 
Let’s hope so!
I started for some friends a new Fan Forum to the film High School Musical and for this I am using bbpress and I am very confident with this. BBpress rocks. I used the standard Theme and modified it completly: High School Musical Fan Forum
We’ve just gone public today. I decided not to sync with Mu. I am planning to implement BuddyPress when it comes to life. I thought bugger it. Register twice. I thought why break everything when teething that down the road. Paranoid? Maybe.

More pimping to do. Love BBPress so far. Mods are finding it easy to learn.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-custom-profile-fields ?
It’s old but the idea is the same now as it was then. The process may have changed a bit.
oh, i was actually talking about a separate issue where I can’t add/edit tags (well, I can add one per post then I get ‘no permission’ error:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/no-rights-to-create-forum-as-key-master#post-14757
But this issue is not actually related to this thread — anyone reading this that wants to convert following the instructions above should. i just found it odd that tag management works here but not on my own site.
I believe on bbPress users can only edit their own tags.
But that’s a good point where keymasters should be able to edit anyone’s tags – I’ll have to see if that’s the behavior in 0.9 and if not, I’ll put a ticket in trac.
eta: on 0.9 (not sure about previous versions)
keymasters can remove anyone’s tags
The solution I think is to wait for the full and tested new version of bbPress to become available and use that.
Anyone know how I might hook into the user profile to add new fields (I’m talking broad advice here! If you can give me a idea as to where to hook, I’ll figure the rest out). I want to add new fields in the “Edit Profile” section, have them stored in bbpress database, and then display the fields on the user profile page.
I don’t care about editing the core, if that’s the easiest way.
Not a mistake, just that permalinks don’t work out of the box. Turning them off is a quick fix, but if you want permalinks, you’ll have to set them up.
I’ve removed all cookie stuff, but now you have to login to bbPress and WordPress separately. Is there no solution as yet?
hi everybody!
i am new to bbpress. i have come across that bbpress already has an xml exporter. can any one provide me with the information regarding this?
