Sorry, I should have looked harder. It can be resolved thus:

After I installed bbPress and integrated it with my WP installation, I’m getting a 404 error when I go to admin > users > edit . It successfully imported my WP users, but I can’t edit any of them, is this a known issue?
Thanks!
Jesse.
Sounds like a bozo problem…? Open the profile of the troubled account, go to the “Edit” page, and see if there’s a 1 in the bozo field. If there is, you need the fix-bbPress plugin. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/822?replies=10
I might have the wrong end of the stick entirely though.
By the way, Nola, any chance you could help me with some .htaccess code? I’ve been having trouble making it work with WP and got no help on their forums.
The only thing better than that is a “go to first new reply” link. 
Out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw some code for “views” in a thread, in the 1.0-alpha version. There’s a chance it’ll be in 1.5 maybe?
There’s also my “has a new reply” plugin: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/45?replies=5
I may be reading into his post, but it sounds like he wants a list of people that are currently online (?).
If so, Thomas Klaiber’s Simple Onlinelist plugin gives you a template tag (<?php show_online_users(); ?>) that you can drop in anywhere to generate a simple list showing users currently online.
You could modify the plugin to display some kind of message, an image, part of their profile. Anything you want to keep cold, Tommy Boy.
What version bbPress are you using?
Does this same problem happen when you use the stock theme rather your customized theme?
What plugins are you using? Looks like simple online list or online list with that SQL error with bb_online? Can you disable the plugins temporarily and try it like that?
Basically, determine if the problem happens on your server with a stock install, then add things back in one at a time and see where the problem comes in. Take a systematic approach, one thing at a time.
Does anyone have any ideas? I’m tearing my hair out here. I was able to create a new user and it appeared in wpmu. It was able to post just fine, the post apears and everything. If I log back in as admin, I cant delete his posts. On front-page.php the admin’s name appears, but when in dashboard it sill comes up as bb_get_user needs a numeric ID
When in the admin account, I promoted the new user to Key Master.. when i log out of the admin account I get the following error:
bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LIMIT 1' at line 1]
SELECT * FROM bb_online WHERE user_id = LIMIT 1
The new account, which i made Key Master is also unable to delete any posts – but can post new ones.
The new account cannot see the posts the admin account made, that were showing up in yellow.
Anyone reading this?

Not sure how to do that specifically, however here’s a quick rip of Sam Bauer’s pagination plugin that’ll add a double-forward arrow to the end of each topic name linking to the latest post. Copy it into a text file, save it as something.php and upload.
<?php

*/
if (!function_exists('is_tags')) {
function is_tags()
{
return is_tag();
}
}
if (is_front() || is_forum() || is_tags()) {
add_filter('topic_title', 'fel_addlatestlink', 101);
}
function fel_addlatestlink($title)
{
global $topic;
$felgtlpl = get_topic_last_post_link($topic->topic_id);
$title = $title . ' <a href="' . $felgtlpl . '"> » </a>';
return $title;
}
?>
Thanks for this plugin, good works,
I will try this plugin on one of my beta bbpress website.
Thanks.
I had a massive phpBB forum and this one worked for me!
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/402?replies=28
I don’t completely recall an IPB to bbPres importer, but it kinda rings a bell somewhere…..just couldn’t find it for you! Maybe someone else will have the thread (if it exists!)
Trent
has anyone been able to develop a covertor from IPB to BBpress?
i have already tried converting one of the phpbb forum to BBpress but it failed massively. only imported the users not the post content.
Yeah, that is really strange, but yes! Do you have the WordPress integration plugin and the bbPress integration plugin installed? Does clearing your cookies and trying on a different browser work for you?
Trent
so when you are logged in on BBPress you are automatically logged in on the WP – and vice versa?
Null, thanks for the help. Yeah, going into the table isn’t a whole lot of fun, but this isn’t something that would need to be changed very often.
PM is private messaging, i.e. this plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/20
The plugin adds a page (/yourforum/pm.php) that lets you read/write private messages to other users. Because it is a static page, you can define the address in the table.
What would be really great, though, is a way to make the links dynamic. The PM plugin also comes with a notification function where users can be given an alert when they visit the forum letting them know a new message has arrived. The tab would say something like “Private Messages (1)” or something like that. Unfortunately, since the page addresses are stored in the DB, I can’t really think of a way to do this.
As far as wanting to see it, you can check my forum here:
http://www.lne97.com/bbpress/
I have it locked down so you have to register, which addresses the issue you mentioned above. However, you can log in using:
user: just a test
password: justatest (no spaces)
Thanks again for the plugin!
This is a simple plugin that will highlight which posts are new since a (logged-in!) user last visited the forums. It will modify your front page’s listing of recent threads, showing threads with new posts as bold.
It REQUIRES the Simple Onlinelist plugin by Thomas Klaiber, whose work this is largely based on.
The plugin should not highlight posts which the user made, since obviously those have already been seen. Please tell me if it does otherwise.
The only testing I have done is on my 1.0-alpha build, so I would be very grateful if people could test the plugin and tell me if it works!
Grab it here.
A couple of questions about what syntax to use, especially on template pages:
1. I see that a lot of people use _e('string...') instead of echo('string...'). Is this just a bbpress/wordpress thing or is this generally acceptable php coding?
2. In front-page.php of kakumei (and many other places), I see people using this shorthand echo where normal text would work just fine. For instance, in the hottags div, it is:
<h2><?php _e('Hot Tags'): ?></h2>
Why would you have PHP echo that when you could just have it as plain ol’ text in the first place? Am I missing something?
I realize neither of these is of any earth-shaking importance, but I would like to know so I can keep my code modifications in line with the default syntax that is used throughout. Thanks!
Still not working for me.
In one of my many reinstallations I forgot to put the wordpress integration file back in my-plugins.
Still no go however.
I do have the bbpress plugin activated in my wordpress already.
Also, yes, integrated from start.
I use this plugin for MyBlogLog avatars, but looking at the code it seems to be already setup for Gravatars as well! Maybe take a look at it!

How about a quick description of how to use in a bbPress site only (no WP). I look at the source and see lots of calls to wp_ needed stuff.
Actually, I think it means you CAN translate it. I don’t know how to translate, and I only know what I have read here, but I think you need a program called poedit http://www.poedit.net/ to create the translation.
Also, maybe this is relevant?
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/576?replies=2#post-3361
And, here is a list of current translations. If you create a translation, maybe you can add yours to the list:
http://proforums.palmansworld.com/localization/
I registered over at your forums to test this out. I registered and then logged into bbPress. I then went over to your blog and tried the /wp-admin/ link to find out if I was registered. It gave me the login page where I added my information and then was redirected to:
http://mpm.org.au/wp-admin/
That URL doesn’t exist. Is there something in your WP install that has the URL of the site as the first URL? That might be causing the problems.
As well, do you have the integration plugin that pulls the registrations from bbPress across to WordPress? That way all users are in the wp_users and not the bb_users table.
Trent
There is a plugin to limit registration on your bbPress and I use the Custom Profile plugin myself for helping in spam registration. I just create a couple of ‘required fields’ followed by a couple ‘non required fields’ and then end with ‘another required field’ for registration. No bot has figured it out yet…..!
Trent
The best thing would be to translate your entire bbPress. Check out this post on internationalization. Since it has ‘You must login to Post” on that post you put up, I am assuming you haven’t used a translation file.
