so there is no way to reply to a comment, only to the entire post thread? how does somebody quote another person to reply to them within the post?
You copy and paste into your reply and just wrap it in html
<blockquote>Replies are not threaded in bbPress. Comments *are* threaded in WordPress, if you want them.

If text is small, just buy...

It is great indeed, the only section i miss is the THEME section.
Just like wordpress.org
extend
- plugins
- themes
I think this will also result in more themes.
Everything else is just great, love to see bbpress is getting more mature, in a few years bbpress will be the most used forumboard.
Keep it up!

Noel the fonts are small in Firefox but that may be because they don't seem to scale for some reason when "large fonts" are enabled in Windows.
Like I pointed out, resetting the body to
font-size:100%;seems to fix the whole problem for me.The overly large gravatars still takes some getting used to however, I've never seen a forum system with avatars over 100x100

Noel, here are problems that I think are important to fix:
- no download link for plugins, version etc (major)
- in login form in header, username and password are not deleted when you click on it, so you need to manually delete them
- no subscribe to topic link (I'm now wondering could be this solved by using action topicmeta instead of hardcoding in theme since this won't work in any theme by default)
- better aligning on post form on plugin's pages
- better pagination on profile pages on forum
- more margin between columns on user's favorites page
Also, gravatars could be added to posts on plugin's page too.

Very nice theme!!

Hmm, my font-size increase trick is no longer working, someone changed the stylesheet.
The default font-size is ridiculously small.
Did someone seriously hard code the font-sizes into PX instead of percent or em?
Ah this will fix it in Stylish
* {font-size:98% !important;} -

They're included in the 1.0 branch. I suppose it depends on the template you use to display the avatar.

Is there any update on the insanely small text?
It appears (according to firebug) that the font size is set to 12px, but then it's been made smaller by some later style. For me it's currently looking like a 8 or 9px font size (which is incredibly difficult to read since we dropped the amount of space the text is in by almost 40% to 540px).
The margins and spacings look a bit weird/forced as well, almost like it's using the old version of the 960 grid.
Also, as soon as the discussion includes more than 2 posts, 20-30% of the screen becomes useless whitespace.
Anyway, I'm testing this on Firefox3.6, latest Chrome and Opera 10 on Windows 7 and vista - and my iPhone.
Thanks,
KevP.S. The blog section's a total disaster area also, good thing it's not been updated in over 4 months now - otherwise people might look there for info!!! haha, don't worry, thats not likely.

Love the new look and the fact that _ck_ is around but damn my avatar is ugly that close up.

Here's a screenshot of this page in Firefox 3.0.19 on Ubuntu. Looks the same to me with Chrome on Ubuntu and Chrome on XP as well. Not sure what's causing the problem for you. I can't replicate it.
Screenshot is 1.7MB

Thanks for that Chris, v helpful.
Your text seems a tad bigger than mine but I think i might have found some of the issues.
1) The stylesheet specifies "Lucida Grande,Tahoma,'Bitstream Vera Sans',Arial,sans-serif" and I'm not sure it was tested on all of those fonts.
There's quite a large difference between the way Lucia Grande and Tahoma look on windows (and people with Safari on Windows can now have Lucia Grande; but its not there by default), and at 12px and above Tahoma and Arial start to look differently too...
2) In comparing what I can see on the forums and your screenshot, I'm getting 2extra words per line.
Either way, it's a drop in text size of a considerable amount. And a drop in the amount of space that the text is given in comparison to the old theme (not that an increased avatar doesn't help the conversation but...)
3) On the forum listing, since last week, some of the text has been of a bigger size than others. Specifically:
#bborg-discussions table td div {
font-size:14px;
}Edit: I have no extrnal css stuff going on, which i put down to laziness ;-)

Ok, so I noticed a small bug when posting this (because I went to edit and the edit link is tiny).
Line 99 of the stylesheet has "font-size:0.8em" (which seems accurate) but according to Firebug it thinks that the 960 reset is loaded afterwards as its loaded via 3 different @import commands (fyi - madness) because of how the browser handles loading of child stylesheets (it's not concurrent). The 960 reset states that "font-size:100%" for everything.
So firebug, and chrome tools will all show that they're applying "font-size:100%" which in essence they are, they're just applying 100% of the 0.8em.
EDIT: ok, so a bit more investigation turns out that "em"s were decided to be used for some of the links and things on the left under the avatar, while "%"s were used elsewhere, and "px"s were specified for other text - so its really a bit of a mish mash that has high potential to look different on every system (especially as the css reset is loaded 3rd or 4th by the browser); compunded by a choice to use different looking fonts per system.
On line 103 of style.css we specify the font for the actual forum post text:
#bborg-discussion #thread div.post {
font-size:12px;
}Now according to Firebug and chrome dev tools the font-size:12px is scored out (as if it's being overwritten) because the reset is loaded after. But if you click on it in firebug to actually disable it, hey presto, the font actually grows to the default size.
Oh and more of an FYI as to why it's hard to debug, after we apply our reset and our styles, we then have this added by the 960's text stylesheet that will mess with the base units:
body{font:13px/1.5 Helvetica,Arial,'Liberation Sans',FreeSans,sans-serif}
We basically play about with the font-sizes all over the shop in the stylesheets, and the fonts used too (i can see about 10 fonts listed).

Different text sizes on homepage:

http://www.kevinjohngallagher.com/bbpress_edit_area.pngDifference between yours and mine:
http://www.kevinjohngallagher.com/bbpress_kevs_view.png
http://www.kevinjohngallagher.com/bbpress_chris_view.png(basically, i have 2 or more words per line squeezed into same space on some places)
Hope this helps whoever is looking after the theme, apprecaite the help as always (especially Chris - first on hand as always).
