Ok. found a css sheet, a new header and image files from Fernando_Graphicos <http://fernando.dubtribe.com> and got the forum up and running but it won’t let me add a forum, doesn’t recognize me as admin [after initial screen] etc…

looks like this is already being discussed – the time zone isyour server time, not yours. the two may be different. My server is in California while I like on the east coast… i had to set it to -7.
Now you guys just need to make a wiki, and a gallery!!! 
Greetings all! I’m having a slight problem, for some odd reason when I create a new topic, it seems to create fine, but it doesn’t appear in any of the lists. I’ve tried readding the entire forum and what not to no avail. Here’s the link: http://dev.abunchofcars.com/forum/
Also when I try creating a new user through WP, it doesn’t show up in BBPress even though I’m using the WP plugin. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
It was a bit fustrating in the beginning, but I’m finding it kind of fun. It’s a good back-to-basic-code refresher for me. Here is a little modding I’ve been doing: http://dev.abunchofcars.com/forum/ and I like its pretty easy to integrate into WP since its practically built off the same engine.
Hello,
It looks like I’ve successfully installed BBpress, but when visitors (or admin) click on a forum post from internet explorer, the page hangs and times out. The post is never displayed. The same thing happens when trying to create a new post.
Is there some firewall issue with my host? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
thanks nolageek. I’ve actually had that part correct. After messing around, now only one topic is like that. The other is fine.
In fact the default topic that was made called “Your first topic” portrays the correct “freshness”. All new topics give the -1 year weirdness. I’ll keep tinkering.

YES U R RIGHT AphelionZ, i agree with u, a big big thanks to all bbpress team. great job!
i like that bbpress forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Howdy,
just tinkering around with bbpress.
In the config.php file it has this:
‘$bb->akismet_key = true;’
How do I enter my key into that? Let’s say my key is 12345678. How would the code look after inserting the key?
thanks.
oh, guess I could add that I get this in my dashboard everytime I try to put the key in:
The API key you have specified is invalid. Please double check the ‘$bb->akismet_key’ variable in your config.php file.
Great work! You and the rest of the bbPress team (whoever that might be) should be commended for your fast, quality development.
PS. the plugin works now and i’m so PSYCHED!
Details on the blog post.
Upgrading should be straightforward, but please backup your files and data first, just in case.
What are you waiting for? Download the sucker!
Ok….did that – got the install up – but am STILL not getting the css (or stylesheet) to load.
Am seeing non-styled HTML – and most important – when I click a link to go to the first post, or login, I’m taken to the front page of the WordPress blog (posts and all)…
no sign of bbPress…..
what’s going on do you think?
Hi I’ve installed BBPress and I see no style sheet at all
My blog’s URL is http://phlog.it. BBpress is installed in a subdirectory called forum. I can’t see no style sheet. I’ve copied the stylesheet’s URL seen in the source code of the Forum’s homepage (http://phlog.it/forum/bb-templates/style.css) and it doesn’t work. How can I fix that?
Ah!
My sincere apologies. I’ve sent you on a wild goose chase. That plugin will only work with the upcoming next release of bbPress.
Don’t dispair, though. That new release is coming soon.
Sorry!
Then you’re in luck!
Login to your bbPress site
go to the admin panels by clicking the “Admin” link next to the “logout” link
Click on the “Content” tab
Click on the “Forums” subtab
Then add whatever forums you like
I have successfully installed a WordPress blog and am trying to add a bbpress. Upon installation, and going to the install.php file, I get nothing but a white screen. Any ideas?
If bb_ really is your bbPress table prefix, and that is what is entered int the integration plugin page, users registering through bbPress should be given WordPress’ default role upon logging into WP for the first time.
So I’m not sure what’s wrong exactly, but it may be caused by the stuff you’re doing manually (as you expect).
zapata, this plugin.

I am setting up a web site that has two main groups of users: The (WP) blog editors, and the readers, who are supposed to be able to make contributions through comments or in the forums. The registered WP users can use the bbPress forum seamlessly, however, there’s a bit of a problem on the other end, with the users who first register themselves in bbPress. It seems that when someone registers as a bbPress user, they are also automatically a WP user. This would be fine and dandy, if only their user level was set low enough to keep them out of the WP backend. But it doesn’t work like that. I’ve set the default user role for new users to “Subscriber”, but something in the communication between bbP and WP goes wrong, and they are granted some mutation of the administrator role instead: They aren’t able to publish, or edit posts from users with a higher level, but they can edit each others drafts, and they can change both their own and others user levels and passwords. Or edit the templates.
So what I want is a way for registered WP-users to flow freely into bbPress, but not vice versa. I don’t want the forums users in the WP dashboard area at all. I’ve tried the bbpress-integration.php-plugin, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference, its only option is to set the bbPress prefix to bb_ (the bbP-tables already has this).
in config.php try find this line “$bb->name = ‘New bbPress Site’;”
try like this
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
require_once(‘path/to/bbpress/config.php’);
?>
I guess I messed it during install, but my site’s name is New BBPress Site with the first forum named what I wanted the site named.
How can I change it without re-install? I couldn’t find it in the admin panel.
TY
… I remember when WP was at this point. No easy plug-in function, no template function.. I was still ecstatic..
And I also remember trying to use BBPress a year or so ago.. Heh. Come along way baby.
In short. Just give it time.
