*Just* started using bbpress for a forum… have been using blogger for my blog, but the ease of bbpress is making me seriously consider wordpress for the blog.

Looking forward to more bbpress developments.

Hi Massbase…

I’m super-new to all the *press stuff… so I’m not sure what you’re talking about… BBpress can replace WordPress and Buddypress and WPMU?

[massbase]

dont worry about it, just saying bbpress can be configured to become a CMS replacing all the above scripts… you have done right decision choosing bbPress.

As a novice bike commuter (who visits Toronto) WOOT! Your site looks good If you do, eventually, bring WP into the game, you may need some finagling, as ‘reverse’ integration is a bit un-tested.

Thanks Ipstenu.

Still a very extreme newbie to all this “press” stuff… but I’m loving bbpress so far. A little bit of customization with a few plug-ins and a theme has gone relatively smoothly… but I still can’t really get the Admin Can Post Anything plug-in to work properly… it does not seem to like i-frames… which are essential for embedding google maps and docs.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Well iframes are, by their very nature, evil I’ve never used that admin plugin, but I also don’t do a whole lot of embedding of Google Maps.

[Rohan Kapoor]

I agree with iframes being evil.

[bikingtoronto]

Hahaha… yeah, I’m no fan of them myself. Google seems to like them for embedding stuff, though, unfortunately.

I wonder if there’s a way to embed google stuff without an i-frame?

Does that help?
