I wanted to throw this link out to you all, it’s the Justin Tadlock’s Forum Plugin For WP thread where Justin chimed in on a few things about what he’s done, and where he’d like to see bbPress (Plugin) go and whatnot! 
The only other thing I want to say right now is that I read on IRC that JJJ will have an official demo site up and running on bbPress.org very soon, where I’m hpoing we can join/login to and try and break stuff, so it’ll obviously run the latest development copy?
The adove (^^) is just so JJJ doesn’t forget about it! 
LOL
I installed the reCAPTCHA plugin (noted above) and it seems to have nipped the problem spam in the bud. Previously, CK’s “Human test for bbPress” plugin had been doing the trick on my board. However, with this more aggressive & annoying automated bot spam, it was guessing the equation and then getting in the door.
I’m not overly happy about having to install captcha software, because it’s difficult to make out the characters sometimes and I feel it’s an impediment to quick and easy registration for people. Nevertheless, something that stops the hoser spammers is appreciated and reCAPTCHA appears to have succeeded (for the time being).

Having an error when attempting to use the bb-avatar upload plugin. Its when anyone tries to access the avatar page we get presented with this error:
“Warning: include() [function.include]: Filename cannot be empty in /home/X/pastelportal.com/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 45
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ” for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php5/lib/pear’) in /home/X/pastelportal.com/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 45″
We were using a custom theme and it was working fine. We just switched about an hour ago to the default theme and now its doing this. I have done some searches and found a few solutions, issue is those solutions were related to other problems and I’m not sure if they would work with this.
I will say we were presented with a similar error when we upgraded to the latest bechet version of bbpress (1.0.2) but it was fixed after the admin did some tinkering around. But this time we are both clueless to what is going on.
We did change back to the custom theme for a moment, its working fine. But just the default theme, its not working.
I have the same problem. I tried Human Test and bb-NoSpamUser and they didn’t work properly. I don’t want to try Akisment because it makes to many faults and blocks real users.
I just installed reCaptcha. I’ll let you know if it works.

Hard Seat Sleepers theres always people like you who have to tell me Akismet should be fine. It was back when I tried it the first time too. They had a hard time believing what happened, untill loads of members gave the same testimony.
Fact is, it treated normal users as spam/spammers. And Akismet for BBpress does not allow you to see what the spam IS. It just tells you that it has deleted this and that. Then suddenly three good members stop posting, because their efforts are thrown in the trash. And then your whole forum goes under.

I´ve done some searching myself, and hopefully you guys can help me pick the best solution of these listed plugins:
bb-NoSpamUser
-https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/nospamuser/
Sounds good if these spammers IPs are included in the database
Project Honeypot
-https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/php4bb/
Same goes for this one. Which is more reliable for BBpress 1.02?
reCAPTCHA
-https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/recaptcha-bbpress/#post-3955
Ugly, but may work better than Human Test, any opinions?
Clickcha
-https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/clickcha/
Same goes for this one
Blocklist
-https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/blocklist/
Perhaps more labour intensive than necessary?

Hi all, just installed locally on a XAMPP install. using Latest version of Google Chrome. I only recieved one error when installing: “Key master email not sent!”. I assume this is because my local site has not been set up for email? When I navigate to my forum http://localhost/mysite/forums, I am able to browse my first topic, however when I login, I get a blank page with two warnings and 4 deprecated messages:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:xampphtdocsmysiteforumsbb-settings.php:186) in C:xampphtdocsmysiteforumsbb-adminincludesclass.bb-install.php on line 390
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:xampphtdocsmysiteforumsbb-settings.php:186) in C:xampphtdocsmysiteforumsbb-includesfunctions.bb-core.php on line 1101
I assume that this is a PHP config issue, any ideas?
BTW: I followed this guide: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/idiots-guide-to-installing
I just started a new forum with bbpress 1.0.2. Akismet is catching spam and deleting the posts but the tags left by the spammers don’t get deleted.
So I had a couple of questions: first, is this a common problem and second, is there a way round it?
I’ve just installed the Human Test plug-in which will hopefully keep the bots off the forum but still won’t keep any human spammers away.
Thanks for any assistance.
hey guys,
i wonder if it’s possible to link to the LATEST Post by any user in any forum on the frontpage of my forum. if i click it i don’t want to simply link to the forum where the latest post was written in but link to the post itself with the hash-value
e.g. myforum.com/topic.php?id=1&replies=33#post-40
how can i do that! thank you for your help!
I don´t know if they are spambots or human spammers, but they are registering at a rate of every day now. And creating senseless topics used ford mustangs and stuff.
They are normally registered on Gmail with emails like this:
c.am.e.ron.n.e.dic.iml.i.n.e.r@gmail.com
farl.eyd.a.rr.i.ck@gmail.com
I do not run Akismet, because it messes things up, but I do run the plugin Human Test. So they are getting past that. But since they are so very similiar in their postings, names and email adresses, I assume they are bots.
If I could manually accept all registered users before they could post, this would not happen. But what can I do to prevent them from spamming my forum. Whatever they are?
I do have a test version online, I’ll update it to the latest version sometime over the weekend.
It would be great if JJJ and team could start a test site where the latest plug-in version was installed. It would make it easier for this group to pound on it and help bug test the code.
Absolutely! I’m quite uneasy around all of these development versions, but I would really like to lend a hand by testing whatever I can.
It’s not really at that stage yet. personally I prefer to test locally.
Anyone has a demo of the plugin running in a website…

We updated from 0.9.0.2 to 1.0.2 bechet. Tags worked fine before the update occured. We do have a custom theme installed and tags worked fine with it installed before the update.
Just reverted to the default theme, and tags are not deleting.
Can you give more detail into what you mean by changes modifying core bbpress files? please and thanks
Thank you for helping me out so far, and providing tips on how to get better support. I apologize that I’m testy. I’ll be more patient.
