Two options :-
1. Load WordPress header and footer with deep integration (not recommended)
2. Design the same theme for bbPress (way to go)
WP 2.8.5 + bbP 1.0.2 works fine for me. So the problem is setup specific.
I have a tutorial for that coming online on my series WP as CMS on my blog – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/11/wordpress-cms-series/
I will be demonstarting how to do it without deep integration. You might want to check that out if you are comfortable with code and love to do it yourself 
The best thing that could happen with bbPress is having _ck_ on the dev team. I am a freelancer web developer who uses WordPress & bbPress to power sites. So xHTML/CSS & PHP is my cup of tea. Getting close to being proficient in PHP. I would like to develop more plugins for bbPress (3 tiny ones so far)
Just a reminding note that I will be on this soon.
looking for more suggestions? I do get a few hits from this page but the responses are very minute as compared to that. Please take out some time to comment or suggest here on a new bbPress theme – Pour in your suggestions for an ultimate bbPress theme
Try matching the code with the default theme and if you need to show more additional info then you can take a look at this too https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/unhide-profile-email-adresses
I will help you tomorrow on this. Right now on move..
What I do in my plugin is I fetch what the user has set in the no of “posts per page” option and then calculate where the post will be (which page) and then conditionally add it to the url.
@Navin
As much as you would like to see. I will incorporate as many stuff as possible without compromising with performance.
@mwaterous
Ok! You got the <h1> tag. Happy? More suggestions..
I heard of this problem some time back. Try searching..
As fara as I can recall, the new page will show up when there is one more reply.
The thing is I did nothing other than making forums as forum category. They are coming up as blank by themself and thats the way they should be. Can we have a link to your forums?
Which version of bbPress are you using?
I use 1.0.2 on http://needaproject.com/discussion/
Have a look, I have blanks over there
Category forums are already blank. Did you declare them as a category when they were already holding topics?
@johnhiler
Using the plugin to change roles of a member is overkill in my opinion. I am not in favor of hacking core files either. My method of adding a check for user logged in & then spitting out the code should be enough for the required functionality. Along with a user logged in check it should also check if current user is not an admin so that email addresses are not repeated for admins.
@Kawauso
I put your code in functions.php and it didn’t seem to work.
With a normal user on my test setup, I wasn’t able to see the admin’s email id
Technically its all feasible.
a) you can override bbPress login functions with the ones matching with your portal
b) that’s again feasible (I think CK was working on a plugin for this, try some searching)
c) its feasible but I don’t have any idea of going about it
d) which credentials? login credentials through GET? u gotta be kidding me
@chrishajer
Won’t such a workaround will be an overkill?
And am I write about the pluggable nature of functions in the above post?
@themasada
The link to my tutorial will solve it.
With what I understand, the thing is only functions in functions.bb-pluggable.php can be masked (plugged) as its the last file to look for undefined functions. Defining any function which is there overrides the definition in that file. But what if we need to change the behaviour of a function which is somewhere else?
I would love to see someone prove me wrong.
