Let me first explain that we choose bbpress being a plugin to WordPress to keep maintenance low. The alternative would have been a standalone more sophisticated forum software which would require its own updates and such. We probably more sophisticated than the FMS forum but certainly less than the jwfan forums some of youre may be “spoilered” by (which is using a commercial software which here is naturally out of question).
THe bbpress plugin does not have an awful lot of functions. There a plugins to this plugin to extend functionality but while the forum is maintained its not that actively maintained and lots of those plugins seem to be not. So I probably frequently will not be able to fullfill request (and while I theoretically code things myself that causes some overhead).
On my desktop browser the forum seems to load the Norwegian version and I must use Google Translate to switch to English.
There is a language selector on your user account you have to set as your language explitly. Its set to the default language by default which unsurprisingly is Norwegian 🙂
And, I am asked to log in to the forum but it fails to log in. I think because my own WordPress log in details for my blog are filled into the log in boxes.
The form at the bottton indeed misses the captcha. Sadly the plugin taking over the main login form does not cover the form of the forum, it literally is not compatible as the forum does it’s own thing… I have to look if I can remove that one…

You own WP login surely does not have to do with that. Its just the above issue.
Thor, any chance of a “like” function for posts?
I have to look if there is a working plugin for this. Otherwise………
