strange, there must be a limit to how many links are included in a post?
Thanks again Robkk
I was able to successfully replace the loop-single-topic.php file in my theme with the stock bbpress version and voila, large avatars are removed as I desired and they’ve been replaced with the stock smaller ones. Awesome!
Searching the support forums here I was also able to find this code and add it to my Custom Code section which allowed be to play with the size of the avatar too. Awesome again!
.bbp-body .bbp-topic-title img.avatar,
.bbp-body .bbp-topic-freshness img.avatar,
.bbp-template-notice img.avatar,
.bpp-author-avatar img.avatar {
width: 24px;
}
I think one of the last pieces I need to fix before converting my phpbb3 forum to bbpress is adjusting the padding on the Forum list and Topic list pages.
http://splitboard.com/talk2/
The padding is much larger than I desire, I’d like the padding to be as minimal as possible which will allow for more content on the screen without scrolling.
Can you please help me adjust the padding to be closer to the stock bbpress styling, like here?
As you can see, the topics are much narrower.
Thanks!
Let me know if there’s already a topic on adjusting the padding or if I should start a new thread.
Thanks Robkk
I’ve typed a reply to you and submitted it but bbpress isn’t displaying it. If I try again it tells me I’ve already submitting that comment but it isn’t showing up?? Is this a bbpress bug or is my comment awaiting approval or something? Is there a limit to adding links in the post? I had 3.
I sure would love to share my comment regarding your last suggestion.
Hello,
I’m still trying to get a solution for this.
Is it a secret or something? It seems like it should be a pretty easy and common request to be able to remove or modify the size of user avatars.
Can someone please advise?
Thanks!
Awesome, thanks Robkk!
It gave me the exclamation point error that said “Element (div.bb-reply-author) is overqualified. Just use the .bb-reply-author without element name”
I’m not 100% sure what that means but ultimately it let me lower the font! So that’s great!
Follow up question, is there anyway to bold the author name in that box?
I’d also like to know how to make the avatar smaller like on the pages here

Thanks!
and this is how I would like it to look, notice how it just says “started by” and does not show the avatar.

Bumping this thread to ask the question again.
Is it possible to have a multi-themed site?
One theme for the main site and one theme for bbpress forums.
Although I’m new to bbpress I’m thinking that it’s probably possible yes…but may be complex and tricky. As a result, we may be better off customizing one theme vs trying to use two?
Thank you both for the help!
I’m sorry it took a few days for me to check back in.
Robin W, you’re correct. Technically long usernames like splitboard.com are not truncated, they’re just not fitting nicely in the author box.
Robk, widening the box could help but since my current theme is non-responsive I don’t want to make the body of the forum posts any narrower.
I think the best option may be to decrease the font size in this box. Can anyone advise how I can accomplish this?
Looking at my current phpbb3 forum, it seems that is how they handle it.

I really want to convert my forum of 6,0000 members and 125,000 posts to bbpress. I just need to work a few of these things out..
Thank you!
Chris
