Check your bb-config.php file for blank lines outside of

<?php



[foo]

?>

Looks like you’re using the bb-online plugin. Does this still happen if you disable that plugin? My guess is the plugin hard coded the bb_ table prefix when it should be using $bbdb.

Actually, if it’s this plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/simple-onlinelist/

There are lots of people with the same issue, or there were lots of people a year ago. Looks like it always tries to use bb_ as the table prefix instead of $bbdb (i.e. $bbdb->online). Take a look at some of the replies.

I had the exact same error, but on disabling the Simple Onlinelist plugin it went the way of the dodo!!

My host’s tech support told me I needed to contact my website designer…

It seems it should be pretty easy to modify the plugin. Just change the references to the table bb_online to the proper $bbdb->online and I think it should be fine. Or, for yourself, you could just hard-code the table prefix for your installation, but I would say that’s bad form and not portable.
