    Nice look but you need to look into your server configuration as the bbPress pages are being served with 404 error code instead of 200 (even though they display).

    Something might be wrong with your htaccess

    If you do a curl -I http://example.com/ from the command line on a Linux or Mac machine, or check the response headers with Firebug or the Web Developer Toolbar (both Firefox add-ons) you will see the response header is a 404, but the page still loads. This has something to do with WordPress, I think.

    I tried to load a page on your forum just now, to show you the header output, but I keep getting a "page load error."

    The "404 Not Found" should be a "200 OK".

    hmmm never knew about this, do you think it might have to do with permalinks or something... i really dont have a clue how to fix this..

    i would appreciate any help on this thanks. would it be safe to show you the content of my .htaccess file , if the problem lies there?

    thanks
