Thanks for your work on this @lynqoid … I was about 2 minutes from dumping bbPress and installing phpBB and trying to integrate it with WP-United. I’m trying to “start fresh” with an existing community, and since we’re coming from a forums-only site, the functionality, look, and feel of the forums is high priority. I’ve been struggling to learn WP for the past 3 days since I started, and it can be frustrating as heck. I dabbled in PHP about 15 years ago, and have quite a bit of .asp/vbs background… so the concepts are not new, but finding my way around feels a bit like a blind man groping his way through an unfamiliar house.
Our forums software hasn’t seen any new development in nearly 10 years, and it’s getting clunky with lots of chicken wire and duct tape holding things together with a lot of mods. So, we’ve decided to “start fresh” with a more social type environment, and we’re hoping that WP+BP+bbP can be that platform for us.
I installed your files into my theme, and *presto*, my forums looked SOOOO much better instantly. Nice! I’m still struggling with the overall theme/format/layout/whateverthehellyoucallit, because everything is so narrow down the center of the page. I’m still not sure why I’ve got a black bar down the left side of the screen, and a “no-color” bar down the right hand side. Grrrrrr.
Thanks for pointing out teamoverpowered.com…. I would like to aim for that look and feel. And thanks again for your work on the phpBB “look” for the bbPress forums.

“Lost and Helpless”…. so far
