   I would like to make my sidebar look like bborg sidebar
   So with a Forum List
   Search Box
   Hot Tags
   RSS
   Views

   and maybe even add a Latest Discussions
   which shows the last five or ten active threads

   in WP you just add widgets but bb does not seem to have that luxury

   Thanks for your help

   Hi Gideons,

   I'm not really sure what you're after here.
   Are you wanting someone to give you a theme, or write the code for you to put in your own theme?

   Either way
   If the theme from BBpress/Forums
   is available great that woudl give me 85% of what I need

   otherwise the code and an explanation where to stick it, I guess
   although I am not a coder

   thanks

   I guess I just figured out something important thanks to another question kevinjohngallagher answered. Kakumai does not have a sidebar!

   I did not realize, stupid me!

   Anyway, I guess I am then looking to add a sidebar with the functions above or find another nice and simple theme, like bborg?

   Update:
   I have selected another theme terrafirmtwo by bbterminal.net
   this one has a sidebar! (it actually ahs a sidebar.php file)

   but in the sidebar it only shows: Tags

   While I want to show:
   frontpage
   Forum List
   Search Box
   Hot Tags
   RSS
   Views

   forum
   Search Box
   Info
   Tags
   RSS

   any help appreciated I can upload the sidebar.php file if needed

   If you want it like this site.... An easy way to do it is...
   the front page of the default theme is broken into two parts.

   If you open front-page.php serach for these div codes, everything on the left is between "id="hottags" role="main""
   Everything on the right is between "div id="discussions"" JUst move what you want in them.

   All you have to do is adjust the width/margin of both css styles.
   style.css (line 285) #front-page #hottags for the left side change the width
   style.css (line 293) #front-page #discussions change margin left to be 20px more than what you pick for the left column width and the width to fit.

   (Why doesn't this site have a demo on bbpress! I hate changing my theme back to default to answer questions!)
