Currently the bbPress (in its infancy) does not have facility to save options and preferences in the database. This plugin creates and manages the options database in bbPress.
The will give facility to other plugins and hacks to store the preferences in database and retrieve it on the fly. The plugin also gives a common admin panel where small preference for plugins can be accesses from. the panel can be accessed by going to
Admin » Site Management » Site Options.
Please Note: The plugin is a temporary solution for saving preferences. Once the core is developed and has capability to save options, this plugin will be discontinued.
