Oh that looks fantastic benbeltran (is that theme available for my theme demo?)
The list is slowly but steadily coming long.
I either keep getting distracted or burnt out on bbpress stuff.
I cautiously “promise” to put something up this coming weekend.
ps. yup, grindhouse was already on the list…
Actually, now that I look at theirs, mine uses a completely different technique and might be better in some ways…
Coming soon:
Theme List / Preview module for “My Views” plugin 
Doh! Looks like someone make a theme switcher half a year ago but I can’t see it in action or the proforums site?
New – Theme Switcher
Ah, here’s the original post:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/req-theme-demo-switcher-like-phpbb?replies=19
Never got added to the extend section either, oh well.
I hate duplicating work but I learned even more about the bbpress internals…
Well this and the karma reputation plugin are two on the top of my list. Going through a bit of burn out so I might give them a go next month.
Nice! Looks cairoshell inspired.
(oh and yay Wales! Go Cardiff! 
The RSS icon is actually CSS
All you need to do is remove it from the stylesheet.
I guess I could move it to the bottom somewhere.
Found my fix after some digging.
edit forum.php
see where this part is near the top
</table>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( $topics || $stickies ) : ?>
change it to this:
</table>
<? global $forum; $forum = get_forum( $forum_id ); // fix for 0.8.2.1 sub-forum bug ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( $topics || $stickies ) : ?>
it’s related to this bug which is fixed in the trunk (supposedly)
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/704
Yup this is a bug and there is a fix that I can’t remember for the life of me. It might be already fixed by default in the alpha.
Let me google away and see if I can find it… I know it’s very annoying.
I vaguely remember it has something to do with the forum pointer not being reset after the sub-forums are displayed.
Not sure what you mean by “navagation title”.
Do you mean the news article titles stay blue when you mouse over them? That’s because you haev a:hover (and a:visited) set to the same colour as a:link in your css.
ps. does your shell run on win2k or does it need winxp?
Notepad.exe
But more seriously some people like TopStyle.
There is also one or two Firefox plugins that let you change CSS dynamically – as you edit it, the page updates so you can see it in realtime. Very handy.
What do you think of them as white-ish text?
Yeah I was being lazy on the mouseover as I couldn’t quite decide the right colour but I gave in now and made a decision at least for the meanwhile…
The title colour is tricky though. I still can’t decide.
It’s going to have to be lighter though so the thin fonts can be seen.
Ugh sorry.
I will have to create a bunch of fake posts to try to test a similar environment.
Because of the way bbpress calculates those pages, this is a very tricky process (also a very annoying process).
If all you are trying to affect is just the front page, there is a direct hack for the core you can do which should not affect any other page and allow all other plugins to work properly.

In theory it will work better than any other plugin method.
I’ve got my hands full right now working on an advanced user tracking program to replace simple onlinelist that works across wordpress+bbpress.
Oh you were one of the sites that inspired the idea for the list mciarlo!
They are starting to bloat, now nearly 66k
I wonder if 1.2 will break 70k.
Okay I think I have a workaround.
Try this.
http://ckon.wordpress.com/files/2007/08/change_topics_per_page.txt?v002
Don’t really have a way to test, so you’ll have to let me know. You’ll have to re-edit the limits at the top, sorry.
I’ll have to look at what they do.
They probably have a conflict in how they calculate pages.
Let’s start with are you using front-page-topics?
If so, deactivate/delete it and then download this:
http://ckon.wordpress.com/files/2007/08/change_topics_per_page.txt
edit the limits per page near the top as desired
rename .txt to .php
install and activate it
You probably have an incomplete WordPress+bbPress integration.
Go through the steps here and see what you missed:

I bet it’s the cookies not being set to the same location.
You might have a plugin interfering with something?
What do you have installed?
Note there is a bug in the way the “front page topics” plugin works in how it changes the number of topics shown on the front page. It’s method affects other calculations incorrectly. I would almost bet that’s your problem. I posted a fix somewhere around here…
Here it is. Remove front-page-topics plugin and use this instead:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/custom-topics-count-for-different-pages-that-doesnt-break-last-post?replies=1#post-9796
jQuery is really nearly 60k – if you use the 20k version it has to unpack itself on the visitors broswer everytime a page is loaded. Better to use unpacked version and gzip web compression instead.
It’s the same size as prototype but smaller in use when you consider prototype needs other libraries to do other functions that jquery has built in.
When again is bbPress switching to jQuery?
Or is this just a rumour?
Apparently WordPress has ditched the last scraps of prototype from the admin panel this very week:

In your .htaccess file put
AddDefaultCharset iso-8859-1
Actually, I’m seeing in the header.php template
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Which would have to be edited directly.
The key is to edit the topic template so tags are shown as the ?tag=example&forum=123 (where 123 is the actual forum number)
Then you have to make a plugin that hooks
$topics = get_tagged_topics($tag->tag_id, $page);
do_action( 'bb_tag-single.php', $tag->tag_id );
add_action(‘bb_tag-single.php’,’tag_forum_filter’)
where the function tag_forum_filter would manipulate (or regenerate) $topics based on whatever forum number $_GET is set to.
