I’m a newbie to bbpress, and while I think I’m getting there, here’s what I’m trying to create:

-All registered users can create topics and replies
-The home page shows top trending topics by freshness (regardless of forum) using [bbp-topic-index]
-Users are required to select a forum (e.g ‘cars’ or ‘trucks’) when posting topics so that users who want to sort by car or truck may do so

The look I’m going for is the user seeing top 25 topics on home page regardless of forum (cars or trucks) but those users who want to look for car or truck-specific topics can still do so.

Questions:
1) Is this possible? Is there a better way to do this within bbpress?
2) How to set user default to ‘contributor’?
3) How to require forum selection?
