I’m considering switching from phpbb to bbPress, but I’ve run into nothing but problems when it comes to working on my own profile. The registration process goes just fine, but after I log in, I can’t get to my own profile?

Is there something else I have to do? Do I have to remember that awkwardly long and unintuitive password that was sent my way? Can’t I set any preferences in my profile?

This isn’t on my site, this is right here on bbpress.org forums.

On this forum, to view your profile, just click this link:

The title under your user name is a link to your profile. You have to be logged in for this to work.

You need to log in at least once with the password that was sent to you. After that, in your profile, you can click the “Edit” tab and then enter a new password, something you can remember more easily.

What happens, after you’re logged in, when you click on the “Member” link under your username?
