The login form is also fairly differently organised (with the original theme making better use of the space).
Not sure what black magic you just haxed up there (MySQL I am fairly clueless about), I just did this:
$quoted = bb_get_user( $row->poster_id );
My full modifications are:
function bb_quote_message() {
global $bbdb, $topic;
$post_id = (int)$_GET['quote'];
if ($post_id) {
$row = $bbdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->posts WHERE post_id={$post_id} AND topic_id={$topic->topic_id} AND post_status=0");
$//row->post_text = preg_replace( '(|
)', '', $row->post_text );
$row->post_text = preg_replace( '/<blockquote>.*</blockquote>/', '', $row->post_text );
$row->post_text = str_replace( '', '', $row->post_text );
$row->post_text = str_replace( '
', '', $row->post_text );
$quoted = bb_get_user( $row->poster_id );
$quotesince = bb_since( $row->post_time );
$quotesince = ' - ' . $quotesince . ' ago ';
$quotelink = get_post_link( $row->post_id );
$quotelink = '<a href="' . $quotelink . '"> » </a>';
if ($row) echo htmlentities('<blockquote><cite>'.$quoted->user_login . $quotesince . $quotelink . "</cite>n".$row->post_text.'</blockquote>', ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');
}
}
function fel_addcitetag( $tags )
{ $tags['cite'] = array();
return( $tags ); }
add_filter( 'bb_allowed_tags', 'fel_addcitetag' );
You can see my regex attempt to get rid of blockquotes, although for some reason despite it being marked as code the b-quote tags were still removed.
I also switched from regexing the paragraph tags tostr_replaceing them, which is apparently much faster. Again, though, they’re filtered out.
Keith: Yeah, it can. Easily. By WP handling it I really meant being smart enough to leave it alone. 
Aphelionz, you’re right. I feel stupid for such an oversight to the nesting problem. >_< However, my perl regexes aren’t particularly good and it’s not working (nor is it returning an error).
$row->post_text = preg_replace( '/<blockquote>.*</blockquote>/', '', $row->post_text );
If anyone knows how to fix that that’d be great.
Speaking of which, it doesn’t add a topic-slug either, which is required to have permalinks set to slug. I tried adding the topic_slug field and a variable to make it update, but when I did that it didn’t work at all 
Can someone else have a look at this too?
I also added a snippet of code to append a link to the last post.
Find the end of the function page_links_add_links and replace this
return $title;
}
with this
$felgtlpl = get_topic_last_post_link($topic->topic_id);
$title = $title . ' <a href="' . $felgtlpl . '"> » </a>';
return $title;
}
To get rid of the Keymaster thing the easiest thing to do is set a custom member title for yourself. That’s what I did. ^^
Better yet, find the entry #thread in your style.css file and change the list-style entry there. It makes for nicer code. 
Not as far as I know. Although it’s HIGHLY not recommended, you could edit the name in the database (totally 100% at your own risk). It might be easier to create a new account and make him key master too and perhaps running a MySQL query to associate all old posts to the new account …
In short, there’s no graceful way to do it that I know of.
You can in fact replace decimal with many funky things.
From w3 schools:
- none
- disc
- circle
- square
- decimal
- decimal-leading-zero
- lower-roman
- upper-roman
- lower-alpha
- upper-alpha
- lower-greek
- lower-latin
- upper-latin
- hebrew
- armenian
- georgian
- cjk-ideographic
- hiragana
- katakana
- hiragana-iroha
- katakana-iroha
Still haven’t tried it myself, just about to
I believe that if you attach this to your CSS file:
ol#thread li {
list-style-type: decimal;
}
you would see the post numbers without any extra code, certainly the most elegant method. There is likely already a definition for ol#thread, so you could simply add this property to that one. Bear in mind that this is entirely untested (will try it when I get home).
Did you set pretty permalinks to true?
Sorry. AJAX is alien to me. Your best bet would be finding an AJAX forum. They were quite helpful here with a javascript problem I had: http://www.webdeveloper.com/
Damn right!
bbPress can’t toast your bagels, but a plugin for it sure could!
Unfortunately you’ll need someone with some Javascript mojo to do that. It’s been done often enough before, but I presume it still requires some knowledge.
Thanks for coming back and telling me 
The nice thing is you don’t actually need any of that. People can still read your posts if you don’t.
But I know what you mean; a truly polished interface would be intuitively sensible. I’m not sure what you’re thinking of when you say a plugin to improve it beyond the Quicktags plugin? Obviously minor improvements are always possible, but can you think of a change to make it much easier?
That’s not rhetorical
I have no idea how the bb environment can be detected, but I think I know why your $forumpage hack didn’t work; the WP headers are in different files and such.
When setting $forumpage, try something like this:
global $forumpage = true;
When checking if $forumpage is true, do it something like this:
global $forumpage;
if( $forumpage = true )
{
...
}
If you tell PHP that you want the global variable $forumpage it should work.
Not too confident about this, but that should tell PHP to make them global (ie. available everywhere). Otherwise you’ll probably be calling different variables called $forumpage.
Hey Henry, unfortunately it isn’t working for me. Going to your forum and clicking on the Chinese tab gets me an error page in FF but not in IE7:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
No idea why!
I think this is default. I’d personally love a plugin that ajaxified posts or, even better, it being in by default but not yet.
And the problem is only for Chinese tags? Plain english tags with no special characters work okay?
It’s unsure. Hopefully soon. If you can’t live without, get the trunk version from SVN.
Bah, this is bb (and WP) trying to be clever. It’s annoying; they both mess with your code too much. >_< Although at least WP can handle nested blockquotes.
I’m surprised you have the page parameter at the end of URLs linking to topics, I never had that.
I’d have to read the forums, once again, to figure out what you mean.
Or you could just ask us here. A large part of these forums is just for help making it work. You’d be happier with bbPress in the long run.
The markup thing for example is quite simple; I struggled with it initially but a random guess worked out, and the quicktags certainly help. Any text between two backticks (on a European/English keyboard, the button just above tab) will be rendered as code. The ‘markup’ thing refers to HTML, so to make that work you do this:
<em> makes your text italic </em>
<br />
like so will create a single new line.
<ul> or <ol> will create a ‘list’ structure. Simply put <li> and </li> around each seperate list element. End the list by putting </ul> or </ol>.
To create links, you do this: <a href="www.example.com/linklocation">link text</a>.
Actually I think it does work. There was something I saw here about the OLs in threads having startnumbers (which didn’t validate was the point, I think), implying that you could change the OL styling and possibly display the (in the context of the thread) proper post numbers. I’ll look into it, if someone else doesn’t already know?
