Yes there is, it’s called a WYSISYG editor. WordPress has one, I think (hope) bbPress will get one too. I already have a ticket about this for version 1.0 of bbPress, so time will tell if this gets implemented. If not, someone will (I will do it when I have time for it. I already have a WYSIWYG editor laying around that should be easy te implement into bbPress) make a plugin for this to add a very simple/basic WYSIWYG editor to bbPress.
Maybe this thread will help?

Your example works for me on XP with Firefox 2.0.0.1
I’d like to use bbPress on our intranet – we only have a small number of users and email isn’t distributed to desktops.
I’d like to be able to manually add users in much the same way as I can in WP.
Maybe the Keymaster can do this already – but I haven’t found it??

I think this should be a new topic, but I think what you are looking for are two plugins:
Avatar plugin (for the profile)
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/18?replies=1
Allow images plugin (for the posts)
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/5?replies=16
Maybe a mod can move these two posts to a new topic?
When a user clicks on “Recover lost password,” they are sent an email containing a link to reset their password. When they click on the link they receive a message that says their password has been reset. So far so good. When the user tries to logon with the new password though they get bbPress error message that says “Key not found.” However, their password has in fact been reset and all is good.
The same error occurs on this board as well. Is this a bug? and does anyone know of a workaround?
Hmm got this error now when entered your code:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /xxx/bbpress/my-plugins/bbmenu.php(123) : eval()’d code on line 1
Thats where the $switch begins…
If you want the beta of my plugin (for code), throw me an email and I will email it (got some uploading problems atm)
email: mauricederegt at gmail.com
Thx going to try that, and well I am no programmer at all, learning along the way. It goes like: Hmm that would be cool for bbPress -> is it possible (YES) -> how to make it? (google 
) -> try and error -> try and error -> try and error-> try and error -> getting fed up with it -> post help cry on this forum
I’ll learn along the way
And yes I want it this way, cause it’s only 1 record that looks so clumpsy, all others just have 1 record…
I just wanted to say that the new version is up.
The major change is, that now the times are stored as mysql-date in the database so timezone offsets can be handeled much easyer.
If you’re expecting any problems, let me know

I’m running bbpress integrated with WP on a spanish website.
While the blog itself (http://www.tecnosquad.com/) is succesfully loaded with UTF-8 encoding, the forum (http://www.tecnosquad.com/foro/) loads as ISO-8859-1.
When looking at the meta headers, I can see that both the blog and forum have this line:
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8″ />
And I can’t understand why the blog success where the forum fails. Any ideas?
Just checked. I would go back and read the documentation one last time

If you are not trying to send ‘content’ from forums, I would do what chrishajer is saying. Integration of bbPress and WP has both using the WP users, so why re-invent the wheel and use the WP plugin!
Trent
I for one am not sure what you are looking for.
Are you looking to use the email addresses from the bbPress installation to send out an email newsletter? So, the registration emails become your mailing list? What will the newsletter content be? Is the content from your forums? And if so, what content will be sent?
Also, if people did not opt in to your newsletter (they just registered on your site), you could be spamming them with a newsletter they didn’t ask for. That’s illegal in the US (CAN-SPAM compliance) and might be illegal in other countries too.
The source code looks fine now, but it’s plugin page turned everything in the readme file into a tag!
Note: using id="current" in this way is dodgy because plugins have to generate content that co-operates with other plugins.
If another plugin also uses id="current" the page will not validate (because each ID (identity) should be unique).
You could just say id="X8VQm2_current" but (a) it would look ugly and (b) regardless, you’re not changing the identity of the row, you’re just saying something about it, so using ID is still wrong.
The solution is easy: use class="current" instead and adjust your css so that instead of #current {} you use .current {}
The example I wrote for you before shows how to do it.
There is a painful habit of mis-using the id attribute among many theme designers and that makes it difficult to know what to do or why to do it
Thanks for your reply. Let me give you more information about what I want to do. Think about newsreader programs like outlook express or thunderbird. There is a three pane view. On the left there are topics, on the up-right there is a three view and on the right-down there is a reading pane. And furthermore, when you read a post, the color of the post is changing. Therefore read messages and unread messages are in different colors (at least unread one is bold). At the and you can easly see what posts you read and what posts you haven’t read.
When it comes to our case, I want to implement a similar thing. I want to show forum messages in a three view structure. This is first step and lucky It doesn’t seems hard. By adding some hierarchical structure into database, I think I can acchive this. What is hard is second step.
In second step, I want to keep what reader read. So that on whichever computer user log in s/he can easly saw which posts she read, and which one she haven’t read. As in case of news reader program. But instead of keeping it locally, I will keep each users history in the database. And here your suggestions come. How should I keep what posts users have read? The simplest idea is to make a table (id, userId, readPostId) and whenever reader open a topic, checking which posts in this topic are read. But thinking about all the users, and posts that each one is read, I am a bit scaring. Will it be a total faiulere?
Don’t confuse it, I didn’t want to make a web based news reader. I am going to use bbpress, just some modifications, a different view and an extra feature. I think it’s more understandable now. Thank you in advance, for your suggestions.
This is a great plugin! Did you submit it yet?
Trent
Not really sure what you are after here, but Thomas has created a plugin called Online that keeps track of the posts since you were last logged in. That to my knowledge is the only plugin that keeps track of things since your last visit. You can find that at https://bbpress.org/plugins/
Other than that, maybe someone else can read this and give you some other feedback on where to start and where to start looking! Sorry I can’t be any further help without a little more info on what you are trying to do.

Graphic Display Ranks has been updated. Here are the changes:
- Added the ability to display a “special” graphic for Key Master and Moderator
- Added the text “#Posts: {n}” to the alt and title of the image that is displayed.
- Cleaned up some of the code.
Read all about it here.
Hi everybody, I am new to bbPress. I’ve been using wordpress for a while but never used bbpress. What I want to do is to add treeview display to bbpress including posts. And I want to keep history of users so that s/he should be able to see the posts that she read and unread. Therefore somehow I need to keep each users’ read posts. Before doing anything, is bbpress right choice for those modifications? Are there any similar plugin to start with? As bbpress experts what do you suggest where should I begin? How should I keep database tables for regarding performance? I think you get the idea, if you have any idea, it would be really helpfull.
Actually, when integrated both programs use the users of WP. If you delete a user in program they are gone in both. You can change roles around in either program and it doesn’t affect the role in the other. If you have a user in WP and don’t want them to post in bbPress you can change their bbPress role to inactive. All they would have to do is register another user to post though. WP is different. Registrations in either program creates user in WP with default role until you change that
Trent
Thanks very muck.
Where is the POT (or po)file for bbPress 0.75?
Hello everyone,who has upload on po file for others languages to 0.75.
Could you show give me one?
Thanks.
Oh… another thing… in this scenario if I delete an author in bbPress, will it get deleted in WP?
Trent, Thanks… so if I delete an author in WP, I need not worry about it in bbPress. But if I change an author to a subscriber and don’t want him/her to access bbPress then I need to go and delete the author in bbPress. I hope I got this right…
If your bbPress install is using WP user integration then it uses the WP user table. It doesn’t use the WP roles though. Changing a role in WP doesn’t change a role in bbPress. Really in bbPress you are just a member or not unless they are an admin. You have to change the role in both programs if you have a desired role in mind
