yes – it’s BBPress which also integrates with the wordpress database if you desire that so you only have one log in for both.

Great thanks so much. is it a wordpress product or is it created by someone else?
no – it is a wordpress product – support forums are great, too.
Here is a test install I did a while back to check out the integration

is that the out of the box install? If so it look great!
yea – with the default theme installed – pretty slick
So I have given this a try. I copied the content of the bbpress folder to my domain_name.com/forum. I then navigate to this folder and I get an install screen. I get the following error message: There doesn’t seem to be a bb-config.php file. This usually means that you want to install bbPress.
I try to go through a setup but I never get there. I am not sure what to really do. I also tried to rename the bb-config-sample.php to bb-config.php to see if the same would run but then i get another error.
Is there a link to setup instructions?
I have been poking around through the forums and it seems I need to create a database first, or use one that exists… Is this correct? This is where I am stuck, which is the begining http://www.vuuch.com/forum/bb-admin/install.php?step=1.
Should I use my wordpress database? and the wordpress user id? Or am i better to create a new database? I have notes about the wordpress database but what file would I be looking for? In my notes I have i wrote the the db was at a link like this http://gmpg.org/xfn/11… Does this mean it is not on my hosting account?
Thanks
you will either need a new database or be sure the bb-config.php table prefix is different than wordpress (which it is by default).
Also, if you have wp-config.php at closer to root level than bbpress, it won’t let you install. You will need to temporarily rename your wp-config.php and do the bbpress install.
Any further questions should really be taken to the bbpress forums.
