    Update, it seems no bbcode works inside the forums anymore.

    I got reports that some plugins were causing this by disabling shortcodes in bbPress (for whatever reason). Try to disable other plugins you have to determine which one is causing that.

    Hi, that was me that had emailed you. It was the advanced BBpress Stats plugin that required the bbcodes to be white listed in order for them to parse.

    Milan,

    I emailed you with regards to you not filtering out shortcodes at all, I consider this a blatant security risk and you completely disagreed with me. (Even though you have enabled shortcodes parsing in bbpress pages without permission from the user, this means every single shortcode is available for the user to use… May sound OK until you realise people install plugins that add shortcodes that could easily break stuff. Just try [bbp-login] in your forum and you’ll see it breaks the page elements in a non-pleasant way… This is a side-affect of this plugin enabling shortcode parsing in bbpress pages without any filtering!)

    Since I use your plugin on my bbpress forum, and since I use my own plugin on my forum, I decided to implement a whitelist feature so I could whitelist the shortcodes I wanted to see and only those.

    On your website, it states my plugin has this option enabled by default. **this is not true**, by default it is disabled. It is simply careless users not actually reading the options they are enabling and realising a few days later their codes are broken. I’m not sure how this falls in either of our court, However… I will post a thread here tomorrow evening explaining how people should set the whitelist up to work alongside this plugin **should they want to**, I will also make sure that in future versions a few of the main bbcodes added by this plugin will automatically be whitelisted within bbPress Advanced Statistics

    I hope that clears some of that up,

    Jake
