Good!
For body use
body {
background-image:url('img.gif');
}

Was the earlier post missed or the answer was no? Just be frank and tell me. I am cool either way. 
I understand your reasons very well.
Actually it is too much unless someone can really write tutorials here for such things. No Offence but It would be better to hire a freelancer if you really don’t know what are you doing. (You will waste much of your time and if you are here to learn then read on)
Q1>> Use a variable to count for each topic displayed and then break out of loop when it reaches the value (5). In theme folder, you need to edit front-page.php
Q2>> Increase the font instead of making a link bold. Use CSS here.
Q3>> For background-image use CSS to specify for DIV body
Instead of placing the image as background in CSS, use the <img src="" alt="" /> tag and make it clickable.
<a href=""><img src="" alt="" /></a>
You can change that in post.php file of your theme. If you don’t have it then copy the file of default theme in your present theme and edit it as per your need.

Nope! I have installed bbPress into a sub-directory. I will look forward to install it in a sub-domain also.
You probably need to look into this wordpress file wp-includescapabilities.php and mimic that function in bbPress or alternatively load WP environment and use it. I would recommend avoiding the latter option due to performance issues.
Hope that helps!
ohk! I got it now. Its called as user role.
So you want to check the user role of WP and then show content based on it or something similar. right?

I have successfully integrated them without a plugin as per my tutorial in the 2nd post.
Then what do ya mean by checking if the user is in a particular WP category? An example would be great!
No plugin is needed for integrating WP2.8 with bbP1.0 and no need of playing with COOKIES setting too if you have bbP in a sub-directory.
if you have the code, its feasible. 
what are you really trying to have here?

How about I will help you fixing your plugins? In this way, I will get to learn many things from you. I know it will consume more time of yours but I can work on pointers. How about being a mentor? Just a thought.
I can jump into it directly after my this semester exams and as soon as my new session starts. What say?
I didn’t get it. Are you loading bbPress on a WordPress page? In any case, WP functions can be accessed on WP pages. Please elaborate.
I didn’t get it. If you are not using the same databases, then how come the users are being shared? Are you sure on this?
If you have the WP environment loaded, then you can use the regular WP functions. You need to put some more light on the subject so that we can brainstorm.
I would like to hear what others have to say on this.
I think it should not be a issue with Google because it helps the user and till you are genuinely serving your visitors, Google will respect you. Earlier I heard that SEs might treat them as different URLs but I strongly believe that its not the case.
Its always hard to track what you missed as compared to a fresh procedure. If you are doing fresh installations of both then I would want you to take a look at my tutorial that I wrote yesterday : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/07/integrate-bbpress-10-with-wordpress-28/
and if they already hold data, then we will try to trace the cause and get it fixed.
Hope that helps!

I don’t think so. Why it would?
Just replace the old files with new files. That’s it. And as a precaution, do take a backup before you do anything.
Which version of bbPress are you using?
If you have phpMyAdmin access, then open the usermeta table (should be bb_capabilities if you are not using shared user tables and should be wp_capabilities if you are using shared tables) and change the value of bb_capabilities to a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;} for your user.
Hope that helps.
P.S. – Change the default table prefixes as your case may be.

WordPress 2.8 integrates easily with bbPress 1.0
I just wrote a post today : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/07/integrate-bbpress-10-with-wordpress-28/
I will also be writing a post on how to upgrade existing integrated installations (most probably tomorrow morning). Let me know if you are facing any issue, I will try to help.
P.S. – No plugin is now needed for integration.
Nope. Its a pending issue of mine. May be we can get a response now.
BUMP!
