Make it:
if (strtolower($thats_all->post_title) == "forum" || strtolower($thats_all->post_title) == "forums") {
$addclass = ' class="current_page"';
} else {
$addclass = '';
}
This is the CSS from the default (kakumei) theme:
/* Page navigation
=================================== */
a.page-numbers,
span.page-numbers {
border-right: 1px solid #bbbbbb;
border-bottom: 1px solid #bbbbbb;
padding: 4px 4px 2px 5px;
margin-left: 5px;
background-image: url('images/page-links-background.gif');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0 0;
}
span.page-numbers.current {
color: #ffffff;
background-position: 0 -100px;
}
#latest a.page-numbers {
font-size: 0.8em;
padding: 3px 3px 1px 4px;
margin-left: 3px;
}
a.prev.page-numbers,
a.next.page-numbers,
span.page-numbers.dots {
border-width: 0;
padding: 0 4px;
background-image: none;
}
span.page-numbers.dots {
padding: 0;
}
a.page-numbers:hover {
background-position: 0 -100px;
}
a.prev.page-numbers:hover,
a.next.page-numbers:hover {
color: #006400;
}
Check the settings of the plugin.
I think I’m now an expert at porting themes 
1 day for a theme (without a large settings page)
Agree with grassrootspa.
By the way, mimicked your forum’s looks (only the table part 
) – http://forum.gaut.am/ (This is the Mystique theme which I have ported today to bbPress, still under development)
I really like the way you columnize the topic table. Thinking to follow the same layout in my future designs, if any
It should be added (also signatures, emotions, bbCode etc.). People should get to know the power of bbPress on this forum itself.
Agreed, no need to make it into a plugin.
A *leeching* type script can be made via cURL…
Here are some steps when converting WP plugins into BB:
- Change everything from WP to bb (except some functions like wp_enqueue_scripts, etc – they are borrowed as it is from WP, actually they are in BackPress)
- Activation & Deactivation are hooks, not functions
- There are some different functions like
bb_title();, bb_option('description');, bb_option(’uri’);
- If a function name doesnt start with
wp_, then most of the times bb_ is added to avoid conflicts when WP functions are loaded into bbPress (integrated)
- There are also functions like
bb_is_topic() etc like is_single() in WP
- etc….
BTW, nice theme of your forums…
Michael, I am already working on bb Cumulus, and it is almost completed.
You can see it active on my test site – http://forum.gaut.am/
ahh… that’s 2:30 in the night here… 
Can you please when the next meetup is?
I think there is a plugin for TinyMCE too – https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/tinymce/
So no need of integrating it into the core.
Read the whole IRC chat…
I would like to just suggest upon some of the major topics:
- bbPress.org redesign would get a lot benefit (which is in process), it could/would get more attention to the community, the new theme which Sam was working on was looking more user friendly and gave a Web 2.0 feel – I think it should also include Themes Repo, as bbShowcase is down, the list compiled by ck is no more – I tried to check the cache but couldn’t get it
- bbPress should contain major admin-side part. I want to discuss some below:
- Auto-update feature as in WP (for plugins and bbPress – also themes in future, if a repo is created) – This would help people stay updated
- Ability to edit Plugins & Themes
- User & Topics management should be improved, like selecting multiple users and deleting them
- Some more small things can be added like ability to edit which HTML tags are allowed
- Coming to the integration part, I think bbPress has to be a standalone forum, as TalkPress runs on bbPress and similar services by the users can be created in the future (eg. there are many phpBB forum hosts), similar things can be created with bbPress too (live example is TalkPress, but it is paid). The only thing I can think of is a 2 sided plugin (WP part and bb part), which should take care of all the issues like database access, cookies, settings etc. Now the only issue left is of themes, and if it is needed, then the bbPress theme structure must be re-worked upon or revamped (I know, it is a difficult job) to be compatible with WordPress themes.
- The sidebar should be only in one file (and dynamic), should support widgets like WP – theme compatibility issue would make it do that.
- At the end, when everything’s done, codex should be there. This would encourage people to build bbPress plugins. Stats & compatiblity section (as on wp.org could be added in the near future). An IDE style coding would also help (to create phpdocs).
These are some of my views, some are very difficult to achieve but once they are done, everything would be like butter and users would always come to this forum with positive replies!
Also note that the functionality provided by the plugins need *not* be integrated into bbPress core, the plugins can be handled by their own respective authors – and could need more frequent updates than the bbPress core part. The thing I want to say is, if a plugin needs update then the author can flag a new version, but if the same thing (which is not needed by all) was integrated into bbPress and the update would have been critical (update in that part only), then a new version of bbPress had to be flagged, which shouldn’t be the case. Also new features & enhancements to that part (which can be as plugin) cannot be added frequently.
Are you installing social it on wordpress?
Then use SexyBookmarks plugin.
Please note that bbPress is not a plugin.
It is a standalone forum software.
I think you need to hook a filter into the slug and then explode “-” from string, then only join the number of values from the array with “-” as many as you need in slug
