The words “tag” and “category” are merely different specifications of a generalised mechanism for grouping posts. In some implementations grouping is user editable, in others it’s purely an administrator task. The former is often described as tagging, the latter categorizing. It’s most common too for tags to be flat, but categories to be hierarchical, but again this is more of a result of the reason for the implementation.
My opinion is that both tagging and categorisation are the same thing – they’re just examples of grouping, with different control mechanisms.
Grouping facilitates what psychologists call chunking (the formation of memory structures for perception and meaning), so yes, there really is a definite measurable benefit to tags and categories. The interesting bit is how you measure the benefit and separate it from the other factors such as how page layout can make the tags more or less comprehensible.
Currently in bbPress “forums” provide a single level of grouping (akin to simple categories) and tags provide unstructured flat grouping, though I’ve suggested in another thread that there may be an alternative solution which combines both for increased flexibility/benefit.
I am working at an implementation of the tag-based discussions idea (although not based on bbPress) and would simply like to ask to this community (which, like me is seeing the idea in action):
Do tags *really* improve online discussions (are tags *a lot* better than categories)?
Thanks.

In the default template’s register.php, I replaced the registration form with a message and link and it seems to have worked just fine. ( http://www.bandtr.com/wordpress/bbpress/ ). If there are some other factors at work that I am not aware of and need to know about, please let me know.
I search and read probably everything about localization, but didn’t have any luck updating correctly bbpress.
Where do i put/copy the .pot file. Is the .mo file necessary? Where do I copy that? I need a step by step tutorial on how to make the translation work.
Thanks so much.
bbPress 0.80 will not have the topic resolution stuff. There will be a plugin to re-implement it for those that want it.
Okay, Is there someone working on one at this present time, or..? I was just wondering, because for those downloading SVN commits of bbPress files.. it would be nice to have this plugin already uploaded and handy..
Especially with a few SVN commits back, that was partly, or totally removed already.. right? Thanks in advanced.. 
/Me didn’t upload that part of the SVN commit(s), but will apply changes manually if need be..
Well, I could just leave those files alone for my forums, and if any new SVN commits come through, for other code changes within those “specific files”.. I can manually apply the changes.. I just want to keep this for my forums, just incase needed.

Nope….bbpress-integration goes in WP and wordpress-integration goes in bbPress!
Trent
Oh! Okay, the way I heard it, from Trent I believe it was.. that it went in both locations. 
Alrighty then, then this changes my whole plan of doing things. YAY!
Well, the theme I made up for the forums now, doesn’t include any WP functional calls, or whatever. But, I’ll release the theme as a normal bbPress theme first. Then, I’ll go back to customizing it like I wanted too!

Thanks a million mdawaffe (Michael), for clarifying this!

I like it, although at the bottom, “fueled with wordpress” that would be fueled with bbpress wouldn’t it?
Thanks Vaelrith. Yeah, It’s one of those “things” that I need to change up on theme. I’ll fix that up here soon.. Really, I need to fix up the blog theme’s footer too then..
this is a great looking theme, you’ve integrated it nicely with the blog 
Are you going to make it a public theme? It’s quite sexy ;p
Thanks skrimpy. Um, I might release it to the public then, however, at the moment it’s a slopped together type job though sigh. I basically copied/pasted the blog’s style.css informations right into the bbPress stylesheet.. and so forth.
When I get some more time here, hopefully soon, I’ll make a public release of the theme. As I’m sure others running the WordPress Gathering theme, might want to have it..
Thanks for the nice comments..

I’ve cranked out a trac ticket for this, though it’s not clear if the Akismet code is part of the core or not.
Hi mdawaffe – Great job !
I made the php file (called it as the .mo file name – which was bbpress_il_IL.php )
And once putting it in the languages directory, combined with the improved style.css files – it did the magic.
there are two points to make though:
1) when entering a thread – there is a sliding of the info part – in the begining of the thread. as shown here:
http://www.biostatistics.co.il/forums/topic.php?id=3&replies=1
2) It might be helpful, for less technofillik people as us – to make an option in the admin panel – weather to turn the “rtl” on or off.
(another nice add on – would be to enable different “rtl” setup – on different forums on the same bbpress installation. Not that I need such a feature – but it might be worth keeping in mind)
Again, thanks a whole bunch !
After there is a solid release of a working style-rtl.css – I will gladly publish all the installation detail for the hebrew speaking community (and i believe all will be happy).

I’ve updated things again: https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/592
(you can still use those other links to grab the most recent data).
The UL at the top of the topic page gets shifted too far over to the right. I don’t know why and have filed a ticket: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/541
You can also subscribe to the RSS feeds on https://bbpress.org/plugins/ to stay up to date!
If you look at the top of the default theme’s header (/bb-templates/header.php) you will see:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); ?>" type="text/css" />
<?php global $bb_locale; if ( ('rtl' == $bb_locale->text_direction) ) : ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bb_stylesheet_uri( 'rtl' ); ?>" type="text/css" />
<?php endif; ?>
Currently, you have a file called he.mo (is that the right name for Hebrew?) in bbPress’ languages directory.
You should also put a file called he.php in that directory that has the following content.
<?php
$text_direction = 'rtl';
?>
Then, bbPress will know that your language is RTL and should include both the style.css and the style-rtl.css automatically.
But, you’re right. There are a bunch of CSS bugs it looks like. I’ll see what I can do to fix them.
Any of you that have downloaded my plugins and use them, they are now on bbpress.org/plugins/
I’ll still mention here when I update stuff and I will also keep my own pages up-to-date and monitored, but now you can go to the official bbpress plugin repository to make comments, suggestions, and requests.

It is possible that you are using a corrupted spanish mo file. I read somewhere in these forums there was a problem with an “old” spanish translation (the problem appeas when trying to get to the profile). Try the translation I’ve just published to see if it solves the problem:
bbPress spanish translation for 0.74.
bbPress core will not do this. A plugin could offer such a feature.
There’s a plugin for images: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/5?replies=14
The <blockquote> tag is allowed by default.
bbPress 0.80 will not have the topic resolution stuff. There will be a plugin to re-implement it for those that want it.
