bbPress is finally moving towards 1.0, and it looks like it may get there quickly. The tutorial that I wrote up about integrating WPMU, BuddyPress, and bbPress was actually for bbPress Alpha, so I took the time to update today. The cookie integration details changed slightly for me for WPMu 2.7.1, so I figured I would update the tutorial. Particularly because it has gotten almost 10,000 views in six months, something that reminds me that people read the bava for WPMu How-Tos far more than my navel gazing film and theory posts—though I would argue the latter are far superior 
Anyway, below is a link to the updated tutorial, if you are still working with the Alpha I recommend you update because RC3 seems pretty stable and the cookie integration is almost there, which will make this tutorial obsolete so very soon.

Thanks for the heads-up, I fixed the problems. And if it is any consolation I call them templates too
