Are you using the vbulletin bridge for WordPress?
One quick comment – vb is a much more feature rich forum than bbpress. But, tools have been created to nicely integrate bbpress with buddypress groups. So, you’ll need to figure out how to handle the forums. If most of your traffic will be coming from the forums, you may want to look more closely at vb’s social networking tools.

Okay, looking at the two links, it appears that everything is there except for the positioning is off. Is this correct? Or, do I need to be logged in to see the issue.
If it is the former, I’ll take a look at the CSS in more detail later today or tomorrow. Just post a friendly reminder here if I don’t get back to you in 24 hours!

This sounds like a WPMU-specific support issue. These forums are for BuddyPress support. Please search the WPMU forums for an answer. If you cannot find one, then post a new thread there.
are you using the existing wpmu database or creating a new one for the forums? sounds like it has a problem connecting to the database, make sure all the settings are correct, also make sure the forum dir is chmod 777 so it can create the bb-config file.
Yes, I followed through. The problem is that I can’t get past the second step during the creation of config file for the Forums. It just gives an error when I filled everything in according to the instructions: Please check the settings, then try again, after i clicked Save WordPress Integration Settings.
Additional guidance would be appreciated!

Schafir, are you by chance using “Deep integration” which includes WordPress inside of bbPress?
I am hosting on 1and1 in a shared hosting environment and I have the same problems that Gordon Bunker had. After making the same change to the buddypress-enable.php file, the forums finally work, but I cannot make a post to them. It comes up with the following error: “There was an error posting that topic” Not very informative is it?
I also get the ” -32300 >> transport error – HTTP status code was not 200 ” error when trying Burt’s “say hello” test.
Anyone figure out how to get around this in a shared hosting environment?
Is it time to give up and just go to another hoster? Any recommendations?
thanks!
UPDATE: I just installed it online at http://bp.jason-boyle.com. You can access the forums at http://bp.jason-boyle.com/forums…I haven’t put the button in the navigation yet.
I am still experiencing this problem…however I will not fix it here in case anyone wants to check it out. Just look at the topics I’ve posted in Groups on BuddyPress and the same topics reflected on the BBPress side at http://bp.jason-boyle.com/forums.
If no one responds to this in the next day or so though I’m going to put my crappy fix on it. Let me know if you want to poke around a bit on it, maybe I could set up a temporary FTP for just that folder so you can see my code.
DJPaul,
I deleted all of the wp_bp tables. I’m not sure what you meant by check the wp_sitemeta table for similarly-named buddypress settings? Could you give me an example of what you are talking about? Here are the meta_keys for the sitemeta table? Anything I need to do or am I good to go with the reinstall?

It would only be awesome if people actually answered the pre-set questions and if the others on the site cared about the answers. How much structure do you want to impose on people’s social interaction? It’s a good question. For instance, I rarely if ever use the “buckets” in the buddypress.org forums… I only look at the “latest posts” area.
As for implementing what you’re talking about… you need a programmer. I’m not sure exactly what your goal is but from what you’ve said… it does not sound simple… there would be programming involved.
p.s. Wire vs. Status seems like semantics to me… same difference.
@Fi3ryfalc0nz and @Ineffabelle:
What versions of WPMU, BuddyPress, and bbPress are you using?
Have you followed the additional instructions in the installation-readme.txt file included in /buddypress/bp-forums/ folder?
Such functions are from wpmu and not from buddypress. If you head over to wpmu forum, the documents, you’ll probably find the answer.
bp offers integration options for bbpress only. If there’s no wp plugin for mybb, then you should probably create (or pay to create) or wait for someone else comes up with the plugin.
buddypress doesn’t have any forum unless you install and setup bbpress.
I’m not sure but if you don’t install bbpress as group forum, the group option “create a forum” appears once (when you create the 1st group), and next disappears.

turn it off in your WPMU admin > buddypress > general settings
Matew, thanks for this post.
The two changes (avatar display and linking to members page) are now implemented and released in version 0.7.3 so it should be easier for everyone to use the plugin with BuddyPress. Let me know here or over at the wordpress.org forums if you’d like anything else added…
I have the exact same as Jsonb123 has.
When I look in my forum, I see that ‘Admin’ is ‘member’. And I’m 100% certain that I did set WP Admins to be Keymaster. How can I regain control?
Apart from that, I’m now strugling with keeping the session alive between WP MU & bbPress. The user database is used correctly, but I can’t seem to get to work within the same session. I had it working, yesterday night… Then I thought, perhaps the issue with Admin being a member could be solved by trying it one more time… Got me some extra trouble now 
I think there’s some hack to make certain field non-visible to others, so admin can control. Search the forum and document.
