On 8 inch tablet, single topic page layout is consisted of 2 columns, this layout is same as BBPress page you see on PC’s bigger screen. BBPress’ 1 column layout you see on mobile phones should be applied on Tablets like iPads as well! You see 1 column layout BBPress topic page on this Official Wordpress.org forum pages already. Hope they officially change the BBPress topic page layout to 1 column soon and let us download new version of it.
I needed a tool to convert a phpBB forum to Wordpress and this plugin did a great job. More than 1000 users, all forums and topics with answers were imported in a few minutes without a single error. It’s a cool plug-in for me.
Just use the miriad of forum software that’s still being maintained out there. This hasn’t been touched in 2 years. If automatic don’t bother updating it why would I bother installing it?
and don’t tell me the software is already perfect cos it barely works if the planets align.
I tried out several forums and bbPress was the only one that worked for me. I can’t remember what I was trying to do at the time, but maybe I was trying to delete users and not get error messages from the forum plugin. bbPress worked without problems.
I did have to do some work to make the forum look nicer in appearance. But after that bbPress works perfectly.
I haven’t installed this but I am a user of a forum using this plugin and it’s terrible! I don’t know what part are the rules set up by the admin and what are just bugs. I’ve complained to the admins without results so I post my issues here.
It does not allow external images, sometimes! Sometimes it does?!
The upload function for images is buggy as heck
Spend too long composing a message and the post fails
Edit a message and while it goes through, it deletes the message!
The main problems with the above is that every problem, every issue means the message I mean to post gets DELETED and there are no warnings! It is destroyed and never seen again!
I don’t like not being able to use external image links, but I can live with it. What I can’t live with is the capricious nature of the software and that my messages are so easily deleted. Since this forum has foregone simple forum submits and uses ajax instead, the browser itself can never save the message which on older forums meant you could backspace and save your message. This does not work here. If your post has an error or violation of some kind you are not sent back to the editor, THE POST IS DELETED !
Same thing if I edit a post, if I accidentially did something the forum software didn’t like it again DELETES THE POST! And you get no warnings, you just press the submit button and everything is gone.
