I have been looking forward to the release of bbPress 1.0 since I thought that users at last would be able to use usernames with diacritic characters like my own name Göran. To my disappointment this is not so. I installed bbPress 1.0.1 and when trying to register as a user with the name Göran it was suggested (in Swedish) that I chose the name Gran instead.
Please suggest a solution! This is a major drawback for a simple and useful forum. It must concern a lot of forums with users that have names that not conform to English spelling.
I have raised this question with earlier versions of bbPress but never recieved any useful solution. I run a forum where I have to tell users that they cannot use their real names. Other Swedish forums do the same. Please help!
I downloaded the TERMS OF SERVICE plugin and i see it on the registration page but i don’t know where to insert text for the TOS. the box for the TOS is blank. can anyone please help me fix this? thanks!

Hi everyone,
I’ve successfully installed PHPBB3 forums, WordPress blogs etc etc… and somehow, I’m having a nightmare installing BBpress…
I’m not a coding/IT guru but I’m not a beginner either so this makes the thing even more frustrated. By wanting to make the installation process easy, the description lacks a lot of details I believe. Here’s what I have:
– Yahoo web hosting
– MySQL Server version: 4.1.14
– MySQL client version: 3.23.49
– phpMyAdmin latest version
Steps:
1. download bbpress
2. upload it to gufugumu.com/bbpress
3. go to the url gufugumu.com/bbpress -> installation window appears fine
4. Step1 – fill the information
– Database name : guillos
– Database user : admin
– Database password : *********
Then comes the famous error : “There was a problem connecting to the database you specified. Please check the settings, then try again.”
So I can’t pass step1. I then look in the forum but could not find anything usefull. One would expect that installing a forum should not require advanced PHP or MySQL knowledge. This is quite annoying.
Also, if I try to remove the “-sample” from the “bb-config-sample.php” then I get the error message “ERROR: Could not establish a database connection”. Finally, I have also created the database in phpMyAdmin. Of course there’s 0 tables.
Any help would be extremly nice as I’m about to give up and go for PHPBB3…
Thanks in advance
I’ve looked into the plug ins but can’t find what I was looking for, unless I missed it.
I want to close my forum to new member registrations. The forum is solely for the use of my WPMU members to flick over to. I have the two integrated so I am not going to need forum reg only.
I can’t find the admin section to control the membership registrations anyway. But I’m new probably missed that to.
Dear All,
Please let us know whether we have facebook friend connect or open id support available in new BBPRESS.
Thanks alot for your time to providing wondeful forum software…

At the moment my tags are in a list, which causes a lot of empty space on my page when a lot of tags are entered. Is there any way I can change the coding to make it go in a line? Or Limit the amount? Or both?
Thanks guys.

This thing is pretty pimp. I am using bbPress with a sort of modified Kakumei theme. I also pimped it out with the tinyMCE editor and a bunch of plugins from _ck_ as well as some stuff I wrote myself.
Check it out and post something to make me look popular.

Hi all, is there any easy way to add a youtube video to a bbPress 1.0.1 topic?
I have tried the admin can post anything plugin, but it doesn’t seem to work.
There appear to be quite a few plugins that have been abandoned by their developer.
Under open source is it allowed to take over the development of someone else’s plugin, and then resubmit it (obviously crediting the original author)?
Perhaps all the current plugins should be thrown into some kind of code vault for people to use, and actively developed plugins be resubmitted?
I’ve just fixed two plugins to work with V1.0 but have no way of knowing if their original authors are planning on updating them at any point. I’d want to do more work on them if I was going to resubmit them, but I’m not sure whether to wait a bit to see if the original developer decides to do anything with them.
I know _ck_ is holding off a little bit for bbP to get more established before making fixes (which is fair enough). Have we just entered a stage of limbo?
