Is there no way to admin the forums anymore?

Might be a silly question but do you have any forums created for any of your groups?

I just went in and made a group make a forum – and no go –

i am sure it is a template issue, because i moved the bp template into the main template folder to test this

when logged in as admin i can see the forum main page!

Had the same problem with an older buddypress template (deprecated template) on a new buddypress release. Gave me a 404 even when I used either of the forum installs. Then when I used the newest release of the template it worked fine. So yes, its most likely the same problem.

Why not just take an existing template that works and edit that? As far as I know there shouldn’t be any major changes on templates anymore.

but it is trying to load my main website template, i need that – how do i tell buddy press to load a different template for bbpress?
