We have Group forums which are working fine, but we want to have Site-wide forums and phase out the groups. When I click the button to install Site-wide forums, the popup window notifies me that I have the latest version installed and does not give me an option to install them. What am I missing? And thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Okay, this video answered my question: http://labsecrets.com/2012/01/23/buddypress-and-bbpress-forums-made-easy/

Turns out I had to change the slugs and a few settings. That opened up another can of worms, but this problem, at least, is SOLVED!
