Hi. I just got bbPress up and running this evening, and I’m really liking it so far. I have it configured for “pretty permalinks”, and I’m seeing a strange “replies” argument in the topic URLs. For instance:
http://example.com/topic/2?replies=1
This makes pretty permalinks not quite so pretty after all. I thought the whole idea was to minimize the arguments to be more search-engine friendly.
After looking through the source code, it doesn’t appear that this argument is actually used for anything functional. My best guess is that “replies” is an attempt at a cache-buster, so that the URL changes each time a new reply is posted. Wouldn’t it be preferable to simply set the “Last-Modified” header to the time of the most recent post?
It seems like this would achieve the same thing without ruining the pretty permalinks. Also, I notice that the bbpress.org support forums don’t have this extra argument. Can you share the magic?
Thanks.
I have just finished my first plugin. It is, as they say, rough as a cob. It allows you to display an image with the author’s name based on the number of posts they have made. You can download it here:

You can see it in action at http://www.brightandearlyblog.com/bbPress and then looking at any topic.
Suggestions are greatly welcome. I have submitted it to the development center plugin repository.
I hope you’ll continue to populate the plugins browser with your clever works

Topic: bbPress 0.8
I have a unique problem it seems. I have bbpress 0.75 installed and WP 2.0.5 installed and playing together nicely… except that I get a forward slash in front of apostrophes and quotation marks. I have found that if I take out the require_once( ‘/…/wp-config.php’); and define(‘WP_BB’, ‘true’); from the bbpress config.php the problem vanishes. I have been searching all over the forums, but haven’t found anything that seems to match.
My forums are at: http://www.digitalfrontierplus.com/wordpress/forums
bbPress config.php:
<?php
//This will get all the functions from WordPress into bbPress
//require_once(‘path/to/wp-config.php’)
require_once( ‘/home/users/web/b1442/pow.drinknbud/htdocs/wordpress/wp-config.php’);
//Set this value in the config file so the functions defined in WordPress are not redefined
