Altough i’m waiting for the next bbpress version i can recommend one forum script that has a importer for phpbb2 and others, its MYBB, they’ve got a great comunity forum with international support.
http://www.mybb.com/downloads/merge-system
i like mybb but it has too many options etc, nothing wrong with it, if you use phpbb i think you’ll find it simpler but i prefer it even simpler like bbpress.
ps: i tested the importer a few weeks ago, imported from phpbb and smf and the importer worked perfectly (tried it on wampserver with dummy forums)
I had this functionality in my phpBB installation before I switched to BBpress,. A friend of mine wrote me a piece of code which does essentially the same thing. Don’t ask me to extend it. I’m not a programmer.
What does it do:
It will automatically replace keywords and link them to a page you have specified.
Example use:
Deep linking to affiliate products or articles on your website.
How to install it:
1) Open the file “Text2Aff.php”. Specify the keywords and links.
2) Upload it the folder “text2aff” to “my-plugins” folder.
3) Log in to your admin panel and activate the plugin
Version: This is version 0.1 and has been tested with BBpress 1.02
Planned:
Would be great to have some sort of admin panel to manage the keywords and urls. Moving this into the database. You are welcome to extend it. Any comments appreciated.

mr_pelle: How can we contribute if no one submits patches […]
You just answered your own question! 
And as for #538 believe it or not JJJ has submitted a patch, some testing probably wouldn’t go wrong with that, then maybe someone with commit access can add it to trunk!
Hi! Plugin structure has changed a lot after v5.0: I suggest you to first backup your .htaccess, then delete it and the nicer-permalinks folder too. After that, install plugin latest release (following the instructions) and activate it from the configuration page.
Please note that since v4.1 PHP5 is required.
Ok thx,
never thought about writing it in the table

Open the user table with phpmyadmin, locate the test user, change the password field to whatever you want (make sure to use MD5.)

Can any help me with making a testuser in my local bbPress setup?
The pwd is always sent per email, but it doesn’t work on my local setup…
grz,

Thanks for the update JJJ, sounds like a few lines of code still need to be written, you are the man for the job though! 
If you need anything tested, let me know and I’ll do my best to *try* and break anything!
Take a look at these topics: https://bbpress.org/forums/search.php?q=0.9+to+1.0
Some people do not raccommend doing this, since it would break most of your plugins. Others say you can, with no problems at all.
Anyway, those threads are way old…
Hi,
what I needed was the change of order of the replies on a topic. So that the latest reply comes on top of page instead of the at the bottom of the page.
Topic

Latest Reply
Oldest Reply
Since I use only one topic in the forum I was able to do so by changing these lines above. I think that there was indeed some confusing between the problem of changing the order of topic replies and the order of comments.
Kind regards;
wim
You can download bbPress latest version, located here, via SubVersion.
I’ve now added experimental support for bbPress 1.x
starting with version 0.0.4
Looking for feedback from those running a realworld, robust 1.x setup as I only have a test install.
Personally I also think it looks better in 0.9 but that’s just me.
It cannot damage anything during testing as it’s a read-only kind of plugin (for now).
I am using the default WordPress and Kakumei themes at the moment. It seemed that bbPress was very sluggish, so I activated the default theme in order to check the load on the server and found that it was significantly less with the default theme than with the integrated theme. In my case it’s a personal call in favor of performance. This is a well known trade off about which there is plenty of information available.
Having an integrated and non-integrated theme created no issues of which I am aware. Unless I am forgetting something the only change to the WordPress theme was the call to the bbPress style sheet in header.php. All other changes are made to the bbPress theme. So either remove, comment out, or leave the call – I don’t think it hurts performance. I commented it out so that I can do some testing. I may be wrong about something here, but it’s all working for me at the moment.
I’ve just setup bbpress and installed a whole bunch of plug-ins, but I realize there’s no backup option and I think I need to do it manually in my server setting, which I think is annoying.
Another thing is that I realize there’s no option in filling the birthday in the user account information. I would also like to have a restriction on some pages where only certain ages are allowed to enter/browse. And I would also want to restrict users must fill in the birthday, and without privilege to change it.
I have tried to added the plug-in for admin to add users, but it failed to work with an error. Is there other way to do so?
So I would like to know if there is a plug-in or something like that available that works on the latest version of bbpress. Thanks.
I’ve never used bbPress before and went for the latest stable release but most of the plugins I want to work don’t work.
Should I regress or should I wait?
It’s really only what I consider the most important ones – the bbCode buttons, the page number links on topic lists and quoting other people’s posts that I’m after
I’ve solved the problem of sending email. Now I only need to put all posts on moderation queue.
Can anyone help me, also with a link?
Is anyone moderating posts in the latest version?
It always seems to load homesite/community/wp-load.php instead of homesite/wp-load.php when you test it out. Any thoughts?
*****************************************************
Is it possible to improve this plugin a little bit as –
1. It will allow admin to post any clickable links(including outgoing) on the the topics
2. It will allow anyone to post clickable links ONLY when the link is from the same domain as the forum? (internal links)
To give an example, lets say this plugin is activated in bbpress.org.
A member post a topic saying
“Buy cheap Viagra from http://www.cheapest-vira-xyz.info” <– this link would be plain text.
“A member post a topic saying “Has any one got this working? https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-switch-themes-in-081” <– this link would be clickable
again if any member post a topic saying “have you read this bbPress blog here ? https://www.bbpress.org/blog/latest/bla-bla-bla-bla” <– this link would be clickable as they are from the same domain as the forum
If the above functions can be implemented on this plugin, that would be a brilliant tool to put off most of the spammers.

Any tips from anyone?
That query IS working properly on my test copy.
I purposely changed the topic_posts on a topic from 46 to 99.
Then ran this
INSERT INTO bb_topics (topic_id, topic_posts)
(SELECT topic_id, COUNT(post_status) as topic_posts
FROM bb_posts
WHERE post_status = '0' GROUP BY topic_id)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE topic_posts = VALUES(topic_posts);
and it reverted it back to 46
So try changing the 80 to 81
then try the above query and see if it changes it back to 80 or not?
Actually I can simulate the problem on a test copy.
I’ve just got three other things going on right now so this is taking me longer than the few minutes it should have taken to investigate
