An update- that worked splendidly, EXCEPT:
Now when you create a new account and go back to login, after typing in username and password, the redirect to the admin control panel on wordpress doesn’t work- so you get stuck back on the login screen thinking it didn’t work.
If you’d like, you can create a test account to see what I mean.
Thoughts?
I’m game to try, let me have it oh hell ya

Still toying with this one, but I can tell you that it will be shocking to most people……

Tested and experiencing the bug with no plugins on both WP 2.2.1 and WPMU 1.2.3. Only happens if wp-blog-header.php is inlcuded in the config.php for bbPress.
Might it be some server setting?
Currently experiencing on three different machines, very similar setups though. I will test this on a different machine/setup tonight.
Yes it was evil! I have removed the important parts of the post that revealed all.
lol. Gotcha. Sorry to pry it out of you. 
that was evil of me.
I’m completely new to all this, so I don’t think I’m qualified to test it out for you, but it’s a great idea! Best of luck.
That’s funny REV 892 works fine for me. If I were you I’d roll back a few revisions and then update again.
The plugin is in the mail.
You have my email already Sam from the list and I am game
Problem is that REV 892 has ate my forum, but I will try it out!

Ssshhh! It’s very secret……
OK, it’s a ************. But I can’t just throw it out there. Reason is it directly queries the **************, so it needs to be a limited release for now.
EDIT: revelation of secret removed to re-create mysterious allure.
I am game.

Erm, why so top secret? You might get some help and brainstorming if you disclose it, you know.
I’m after a few brave souls to beta test my latest plugin.
Anyone got the time? I promise it’s worth it.
Raise your hand here and add your email address (in some obfuscated fashion). All will be revealed via email…
Is this plugin supposed to work with the latest version of BBPress because following the upgrade – I’ve lost complete access to my restricted forums – they don’t even appear in the list of forums on my admin screen – As these forums are the ones used by moderators and admins – they are very important to retrieve without displaying their contents to the world
Also worth noting is that the config screen for this plugin doesn’t appear to be working with the latest version either
<h2>< ? php _e(‘Latest Discussions’); ? ></h2> will only give you the h2 element saying latest discussions. You also want to move <table id=”latest”> and everything in it.
only this part ? <h2>< ? php _e(‘Latest Discussions’); ? ></h2> or anything relating to latest dicussions
Edit the template file front-page.php so that the ‘latest discussions’ part is beneath the ‘forums’ part.
how to move latest dicussions to the bottom of the forum instead of up top
I can create a test account and help test if you put the URL up!

Latest status: I can’t even log on to wp now. Even with re-install, I’m getting invalid password error.
I have confirmed this issue with a squeaky clean install of wpmu 1.2.3 + bbPress 0.8.2.1. All attributes are stripped from html elements included in a post. Now installing and testing with plain old WP 2.2.1, will report back shortly.
