frooyo, mine doesn’t look like that at all (my admin panel alignment is fine). Did you change the /bb-admin/style.css
file?
chrishajer you are my hero. My host is also 1&1 and I was really wondering why I couldn’t make these permalink work on my host while it was working perfectly on a local installation. Got really depressed about that. And then I tried to add the line Options -MultiViews
and now it works.
You really made my day!!
Actually this topic is very old and the openid plugin has been out for some time now.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/openid/
In most of my plugins I use curl with a fallback to a solid fsockopen routine I wrote awhile back that works well. I can’t remember if I have it in openid.
I avoid api as much as possible because of how they tend to change and break my plugins 
Plus you learn nothing when you just use someone else’s black box…
You can potentially use “special” characters in usernames via a plugin, but with the ability to have separate “display” names it is not enabled in the core.
Putting this in a plugin might work on it’s own actually…
function my_sanitize_user( $username, $username_raw, $strict ) {
if ( $strict ) {
return sanitize_user( $username_raw, false );
} else {
return $username;
}
}
add_filter('sanitize_user', 'my_sanitize_user', 10, 3);
FYI, the .htaccess file is never included in the distro. Nor are your my-* folders. It’s SOP to copy those, and your config file, over in WP and BB. Probably considered ‘understood’ for anyone using the RC.
I can’t paginate through my users on the admin side. The links give me the URL of:
/bb-admin/users.php?page=2
HOWEVER if I manually put in this, it works:
/bb-admin/users.php?userspage=2
Still can’t paginate from that page, though. Then ALL the links become the userspage=2 (yes, the 2, if I change it to 3, the links are 3, etc etc). I reset my .htaccess (just in case) but no help there.
Logged in #1076
After I created the missing .htaccess file and now using the RC-1 now for about an hour, it works greats.
No problems at all.
Only comments I have, other than say WAHOOOOOOOO
is:
1. It’s feels a bit slower than ALPHA 6 but that could just be my imagination. (Hope someone ports WP SuperCache soon for caching non-logged in content … that will make a huge difference simply by having a cached front-page and user topics/posts).
2. The admin panel interface links seems a little out of alignment for Managing User & Topics but then again – I’ve modified the style.css so much – that could just be a result of that.
3. Wish the user Admin Panel had the same clean interface that the Upgrade database schema interface has. But I assume that will all come later, after 1.0.
I got URLs to work by creating a .htaccess file in my root bbPress directory with the following:
.htaccess
Options +MultiViews
Works now, though it appears the rc-1.zip file is missing this file.
Hi everyone, bbPress 1.0 is moving beyond Alpha stage and skipping Beta to go straight into a series of Release Candidates towards a final 1.0 release. The first RC is now available for download.
We’ve made this decision to push towards 1.0 final as the scope of what was going to be included in 1.0 has been whittled back and we have had some serious real world trials through TalkPress.
Please note that if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress version 2.7.x or lower, you will need to add this line to your bb-config.php
to maintain cookie compatibility:
define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1);
When you upgrade WordPress to 2.8 that line will have to be removed.
I’m using Allow Images on 1.0a6(trunk from last month) and it seems to still be working. But I’m not using the bbCode plugin so people just put in <img src="http://mylink.com/image.jpg" />
I just tested now and it’s working okay.
Maybe this is the way to set it:
$bb->uri = 'http://path.to.local';
That might be an interesting discussion, but for another forum. We’re not going to change that here. Maybe try the wp-hackers maling list?
Or, there is some pretty good info here on why NOT to do it:
http://us3.php.net/function.mysql-pconnect
Thanks, why in BB and WP no one is using _pconnection ? Would it not be better than _connection?
I don’t have the latest beta installed, but I do have an Alpha 2 installation and the database connection is here:
./bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php:123:
$this->dbh = mysql_connect($host, $user, $password, true);
Trying to locate the file that has the routine that does msql_connect or _pconnect…
It has not been fixed in 1.0-a6 (as of three weeks ago). It happens on WordPress.org too 
(And _ck_, what’s a good plugin for that on WP? I’ve yet to find one I like, but I’m picky.)
The newest 0.9 branch should have it fixed. Since 1.0 already has this fixed I assume you are using 0.9
So try upgrading to this version of 0.9

I’m attempting to install bbPress on a completely fresh site, latest WPmu and bbPress and have php5 and I’m getting the same message.
please help!

Thanks _ck_ for the info.
Just to make sure I understand correctly … ALPHA #7 will be bbPress 1.0 rc1, right.
I’m eagerly awaiting the announcement. Hope to hear it in the next few weeks
It would be possible to do that via a plugin.
this might work, untested:
add_action('bb_head','close_long_topics');
function close_long_topics() {
global $topic;
if (is_topic() && $topic->topic_open===1 && $topic->topic_posts>299) {
bb_close_topic($topic->topic_id);
$topic->topic_open=0;
}
}
Okay, I’ve managed to figure some of it out, I’m using:
<br />
<pre><code><?php $posts = get_thread( $topic->topic_id, $page ); //pulls posts fo each topic?>
<li <?php topic_class(); ?> style="border: 1px solid green;">
<?php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class(); ?>
<ul class="TopicStarterInfo">
<li><?php post_author_avatar(); ?></li>
<li><?php post_author_link(); ?></li>
<li><?php post_author_title(); ?>
<li><?php printf( __('Posted %s ago'), bb_get_post_time() ); ?> </li>
<li><?php echo $bb_post->forum_id;?></li>
</ul>
<?php endforeach; ?>
But its pulling all the post authors. I think I need to limit to the first one, but I’m not exactly sure how to do that.
Edit: figured it out from: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/separating-the-first-post-of-each-topic#post-21808
using:
<?php $bb_post = $posts[0]; unset($posts[0]); $del_class = post_del_class();?>
instead of the foreach.
Hm, when I set
$unread_posts['indicate_last_login']=false;
tracking of new posts stops and all topics appear as read. 
Does there have to be an actual logout of bbPress to see results?
Which is not a good option cause most users won’t log out (untill the cookie expires).
To anticipate the question: secret keys match each other
wooooooooow thanks very much
