Not sure why it’s not working for you even at testbp.org
After many tests I found that if you have not previously installed the old version BP 1.2.10 Forum groups will not work ..
With me not working because I installed 1.5.5 on a clean database and forums so groups do not work. But when I delete the database and installed 1.2.10 and Forum work groups. Then upgraded to 1.5.5 and forum groups continue to work … I think something is missing to be added to the database when you first install it BP and the latest versions from 1.5 up!
I am not a programmer and I can not say exactly what is omitted is added to the database but I hope to investigate this and fix the problem. Many people have this problem … write “There was an error when creating the topic” google and look at yourself.
For all who have this problem the solution is very simple …
1. You must install the 1.2.10 version of the BP .. To create a forum topic group and see if everything is okay.
2. To upgrade to BP 1.5.5
So everything will be fine.
so where do I get a copy of BuddyPress 1.2.10? I’m using a brand new install as well and get 404’s when I try to go to the group admin page, the thing made a group page (which is empty).
Here is the address of all versions of BP ….

Hope you get better and you.
