So what I did was take my original Wordpress template and put it in the templates folder and it gave me this:
http://vistarewired.com/test2/wp-content/bbpress/
This is what I want except I want to center it, add some grey boxes behind it and that is pretty much it. How do I do this? Because I'm using the same CSS I used for my original blog template which is at http://vistarewired.com
Find the elements in the page that you wish to apply new styles to, then add those styles to the style.css in your bbPress template folder.
I find the web developer toolbar by Chris Pederick invaluable for this sort of thing. You can hover over the item, find out the class or ID, then edit the CSS while still viewing the page. Then, once it does what you want, make the edit permanent in your style.css.
