Hello,
I have successfully installed and integrated my wordpress 2.5.1 with BBpress latest version today.
WP is at http://calcuttatube.com
BBpress: http://calcuttatube.com/forum
Everything looks good. However, I was wondering if there is any way to post images. The Image attachment plugin says it only works up to BBpress .7 version.
Any help/suggestion?

After upgrading to the latest engine (0.9.0.2) it logs out automatically I close the browser.
So I have to type my name and password each time I visit my forum.
How can I make it to remember me?
With a previous version it remembered me, and did not ask to log in each time I closed and opened the browser window.

I recently imported all phpbb users into the database and it changed my id to 999999… I went into the DB and changed it back to 1 now I don’t have bb-admin anymore. How can I fix it?

I just installed bb press at dailytestimony.net/forums with the latest stable version of WPMU in the root directory. When I goto a page such as dailytestimony.net/forums/profile/user I get the main blogs 404 error page. Do I need something in a .htaccess file or something?
EDIT: I get it with trying to view forums too, I am using name based permalinks.
EDIT2: Ok it seems the answer is simple I just needed to RTD (Read The Documentation), Options +MultiViews
<rant>IDK why they just couldn’t distribute a .htaccess file with that line with bbpress. Save people the trouble because they mention it in the documentation here but at the verry least it should like to the documentation where you set permalink options. </rant>

In the header, the one that is either a login or a welcome message, the text does not change. By making every single url color white, I was able to get that text to be white. How do I change just that text color, size, and font weight?

This may seem really, really strange, but I can’t find front-page.php. Where is it normally found?

Hi
Just installed bbPress and noticed that peoples email addresses are displayed on the profile pages. I would prefer if users email addresses were not displayed on their profile page.
However I cannot find where to edit what user information is displayed on the profile. All I can find in the profile.php is a call called bb_profile_data();.
Anyone know where I would find and edit what info is shown when this is called?
Thanks!

I currently use minibb. I have been running my forum for over 5 years and I love some of it’s features, absence of which would have made running my forum nightmare.
Here are some features I would like to see in bbpress:
1) Ability to place posts of new users in a moderation queue. Once I approve the users, posts by them will appear.
2) Ability to view/review all the posts/topics since I last checked. Once I check the topics/posts, they’ll not be displayed again.

I have a slightly modified version of a GPL’ed wordpress theme I use on my wordpress MU site dailytestimony.net
I want to add support forums an bbpress appears to be my best option however I need to intergrate bbpress into the site visually.
I would like to keep the header as close as possible including links to pages, ect. In the middle I want content to the left, tags to the right, and a simple footer to match the theme.
I am not sure what something like this goes for, but I’m hoping to barter for the work. The site this is designed for has ad space for a button in te admin panel footer I could trade for the theme or we can discuss other deals.
If you would be up for it shoot me an email support (a) (t) dailytestimony.net

Okay, I have to get this out of my system. But first…
I have three websites with WP. I love it. I love you all. I’m not throwing a tantrum or threatening to run off and elope with Movable Type or Joomla!.
But, here is my issue…
I want to add bbPress to one of my sites and quite possibly another that I just started.
I know there are other forum software out there but really want this to stay in the family.
My problem is that fresh out of the box bbPress looks like a manual for a cold war Soviet submarine.
Getting past that I tried to integrate my WP header into my bbPress installation but the info available on integration is either outdated or above my ability. I integrated the WP header into my gallery software (Zenphoto) with no problem at all, so it doesn’t make sense to me that integration bbPress should be harder.
Also, the forum on WordPress.org looks so good that using it is just rubbing salt in my wounds. It is as though WP is saying ‘here is what you could do with bbPress if you had a team of developers and an unlimited budget, but since you are poor and working alone… you’re out of luck!’.
Okay, I’m done ranting.
Does anyone have experience adding their WP header and footer into bbPress? I would prefer to not integrate the databases. All I really want is for the header and footer to be consistent throughout the site. I can handle the CSS part of it.
Thanks!!!
