For those that know what they are doing and have subversion, you can checkout or switch to the trunk of bbPress (which will give you compatibility with WordPress 2.6)
svn switch http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/tags/1.0-alpha-1/
Unfortunately an automated download zip cannot be created because this is the first version of bbPress that uses BackPress which is automatically added by svn, but can’t be zipped by TRAC.
Here’s a ZIP’ed snapshot from yesterday:
http://www.mediafire.com/?y33rsdhxeld
Keep in mind that you should NOT use the bbPress trunk for live websites – it’s bound to have bugs and some might affect security. You are on your own if you chose to use this version – plugins may have some compatibility issues.
1.0 requires the 3 new WP matching keys inserted into bb-config.php (see thebb-config-sample.php for more info)
Sam could use your bug reports via TRAC if you find problems.
Glad to hear it worked – remember to not keep using $bb->secret though in your config and update the db properly as it lowers the security of your setup somewhat.
(The idea being an attacker might gain access to bb-config.php and not your db to gain the second half of the key – not my design and not sure I agree with the logic but I guess it’s still better than keep both in an obvious place)
Is there any estimate on when this will be coming out?
Very much looking forward to it
The syntax of that file is OK (I tried it on my forum), so if it is giving you a 500 error, your host does not allow the directives you’re trying to use in .htaccess. Check with your host to see if .htaccess is allowed and what directives are allowed in it.
If the 500 error was with Options +MultiViews then the host just does not allow that. If this .htaccess file with all the rules does not work, please explain what happens or post a link to your forum.
Also, be sure you save the file as .htaccess beginning with a period (hidden file on *nix.)

_ck_ That worked!!!! Thank you so much!!!

I don’t have access to my client’s hosting plus I’m not very familiar with Plesk to guide him without looking at it myself.
Anyhow, the problem has been solved

On a sidenote: This forum keeps telling me my username does not exist when I try going to my profile or favourites 😮
It might be possible to do this inside bb-config.php
$bb->secret=”blah blah your key”;
and override the internal db.
I have to lookup if “secret” is the real name though.
(that’s in addition to define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’ )
Yeah, apparently it really is $bb->secret give that a try.
Here is a screenshot of my iGoogle page with the bbPress.org Recent Posts feed right at the top/center. Your post is visible there
All the items on this page are RSS feeds.
http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/iGoogle.png
How about just putting the correct value in bb-config.php?
define('BB_SECRET_KEY',
Just make that the same as the value in wp-config.php
There’s no way in Plesk to manage the database? That seems odd. Do you have shell access where you could use mysql from the command line?
You need a feed reader, that’s all. With FireFox, when you click on the RSS icon, while viewing a topic page, I think it asks “subscribe to topic” and if you want to use “live bookmarks” which are RSS feeds built in to Firefox (this is probably different between FF2 and FF3.)
If you are seeing code, then the browser you are using is not equipped to handle RSS feeds.
Google Reader is one RSS feed reader:
http://www.google.com/reader/
The Google Personalize Home Page allows you to add RSS feeds right there too. I follow a lot of support forums that way. Just click “Add Stuff” then skip all the pretty icons and find the text “Add feed or gadget” which used to be called “Add by url” or something.
http://www.google.com/ig/
You just need a feed reader and I think everything will be fine.
energymv, there’s no real answer right now – I know it won’t happen in July and my educated guess is it’s not likely to be August. So for those that insist on a date, think September.
Sam has indicated he’s not inclined to release another version of 0.9 that changes to the 2.6 cookies, so maybe by late August there will be an early version of 1.0 beta that will be usable.
ps. sometimes Sam and MDA have been known to suddenly set a deadline and get cranking on code/bugfixes so don’t be surprised if they prove me wrong and magically churn out a new version in a few weeks – I’m just saying they have quite a bit of things to do before it’s ready…
I was wondering, while designing my new theme, could you implement conditional meta tags? Specifically, robots control. I’d like to add noindex and nofollow to log-in pages, registration pages, user profiles, et cetera.
I wish there was a “Codex” for bbPress…
I’ve been working on this for about a week now, and I think it’s just about done.

For #1, you can add the following to your style.css file as near to the bottom as possible:
#latest th a, #forumlist th a, #favorites th a {
color: #eee;
}
#latest th a:hover, #forumlist th a:hover, #favorites th a:hover {
color: #eee;
}
For #2, I downloaded sv_SE.mo, and it does not have the words “Register or log in:”, “Log in »”, or “Remember me”. I don’t know how to edit MO files, so you’ll need to wait for someone who does.

wow..im an idiot. i searched for everything but the word anonymous. thanks for not verbally abusing me!
Thank you for kind comments

As for these statistics, I guess it was _ck_ who posted this originally somewhere here, but I will repost it:
<?php include_once("bb-includes/statistics-functions.php"); // This need to be included ?>
Our <?php echo get_total_users(); ?> users have made a total of <?php echo get_total_posts(); ?> posts in <?php echo get_total_topics(); ?> topics
Sorry, lost this topic.
Looks like you have a button already, it’s just in the wrong spot.
1. Make sure your HTML tags are lowercase. This is what you have now:
<FORM METHOD="LINK" ACTION="http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="ASHB Home">
</FORM>
Should be more like:
<form method="link" action="http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/">
<input type="submit" value="ASHB Home" />
</form>
2. To have control over that, I would put it in a div, and give it a CSS id or class. Something like this:
<div id="navbar">
<form method="link" action="http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/">
<input type="submit" value="ASHB Home" />
</form>
</div>
3. Now, with an id, you can make some modifications to your style.css. Something like this (add it right around the lines for the #header, since you’re still in the #header div):
#navbar {
position: relative;
/* top: {number of pixels from the top of the header}; */
/* left: {number of pixels from the left edge of the header}; */
top: 100px;
left: 0px;
}
Try different numbers in your style.css for the #navbar top and left positions you just added, and see where the button ends up. I’m not sure where you want it, but that will allow you to move it.
If you want it beneath what is inside the header div, with the background image, you will have to move the code out of the #header div in header.php.
Does that help point you in the right direction?
hello,
where i can download the latest version of this plugin? 
bye
I speak about that:
div.updated,
div.error,
div.wrap {
margin: 0 1.5em;
max-width: 98em;
}
so, i want to add in my plugin the function for put:
div.updated,
div.error,
div.wrap {
max-width: none !important;
}
it’s a little modification but i want to make a plugin for that, and not manually editing the files in bb-admin
1. Please post a link to your forum so we can take a look.
2. No styling usually means the path to the stylesheet is wrong. You can look in the source of the HTML to see that.
3. Redirecting is probably because you have true or slugs for your permalinks setting, but you haven’t set up permalinks yet. You can set the permalinks to false to get the forum working right now, then take the next step and make permalinks work.
https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks
Either that, or the stylesheet is really not there at the URL you tried, and WordPress is intercepting that and sending you to 404 page.
Oh yeah, RSS feeds are built in 
Good idea.
You want to remove the max width of the whole admin section? In my installation, the admin section appears to be at max width already (my monitor is at 1280px wide right now.) It doesn’t look like there’s any restriction, unless it shows up at wider than 1280px. Did you look at the css for the admin section?
~/bbpress/bb-admin/style.css
very very original and beautiful 
so, what is the code for show “Our 13 users have made a total of 160 posts in 39 topics ” please? 
Very nice forum, with beautiful colors: good job! 
bye
Hello, i try this in front-page.php:
<tr<?php bb_forum_class(); ?>>
<td><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?><small><?php forum_description(); ?></small><?php bb_forum_pad( '</div>' ); ?></td>
<td class="num"><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>
<td class="num"><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>
<td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?>, il y a "><?php topic_time(); ?></td>
</tr>
but the “><?php topic_time(); ?> show me all time the date of the first post, in all the forum themes … Why?
bye
I’ve never figured out how to do direct query setup for views, so what I do is just short-circuit the internal function and write my own. For example:
bb_register_view("highest-rated","Topics with the highest rating",array('append_meta'=>false,'sticky'=>false));
add_action( 'bb_custom_view', 'highest_rated' );
function highest_rated( $view ) {
if ($view=='highest-rated') {
global $bbdb, $topics, $view_count, $page;
$limit = bb_get_option('page_topics');
$offset = ($page-1)*$limit;
$where = apply_filters('get_latest_topics_where',"WHERE topic_status=0 ");
$query = " FROM $bbdb->topics $where ";
$restrict = " ORDER BY cast(topic_posts as UNSIGNED) DESC LIMIT $limit OFFSET $offset";
$view_count = $bbdb->get_var("SELECT count(*) ".$query);
$topics = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * ".$query.$restrict);
$topics = bb_append_meta( $topics, 'topic' );
}
}
.
Obviously change the query to your own and that might work for you. Don’t forget to use $bbdb->bb_ratings the $bbdb part is critical.
