Yes they are custom post types.
Something custom will need to be coded up. Nothing exists for bbPress that I’m aware of.
If you can point me to a more specific problem, a plugin, a specific issue, I’m happy to help. 
You probably don’t want to edit the files directly. You should be able to limp by with a few CSS edits.
None of it really makes any sense. When we have a moment to all dig in deeper, I’d like to access someone’s installation directly to look into it.
That’s pretty intense. Seems like some other CSS is getting in the way.
If there are places where bbPress is not busting the cache properly, I’ll need your help to figure out where and why. bbPress currently relies heavily on WordPress’s API’s to do this for us. bbPress runs very few manual queries of its own, and new or edited posts should be busting the cache automatically.
Glad you approve. I think it’s an improvement over 2.0, and about as good as it can get for now.
Working on the BuddyPress Groups. Opponent right now. Probably a beta soon, to test some things I’m trying out.
Permissions issue on one of your plugins folders. Google what the perms should be and how to repair them. Should be relatively straight forward.
I felt the same way at first when I found WordPress, but check out how the functions work and what you can pass into them. Most of them accept a before and after attribute so you can customize the output.
I’m working on something for bbPress core in 2.1. Right now there’s no easy way to get a post count without querying the posts table directly every time. It’ll store counts in user meta and keep things in sync.
If you absolutely must have a page there, you’ll want to use Shortcodes or a custom page template of your coding to customize it.
Awful spammy to bump a 5 year old topic. Closing.
You’ll probably need to hook a custom function ithat you create nto one of the actions in the template files, depending on where you want the code to appear.
Don’t use the Shortcodes, just use the widget already supplied by bbPress.
It looks like the CSS just isn’t being included at all. Does your theme use wp_head();
Probably easiest to stick with what you have, at least for your users. Eventually the bbPress 2 templates and styling will take over forums entirely, and you’ll have the option to migrate your existing forums over, which will be strongly recommended.
bbPress 2.1 will come with support for the WordPress visual editor.
BuddyPress uses the activity stream component to accomplish this. You could use it, and bbPress will work with it.
Probably something our of wack filter wise. Possible autop is missing or unhooked.
Will need way more specific information to be of any help. Links to sites, versions of WordPress/bbPress, etc…
I don’t know what ‘gform_full_access’ is, but it sounds like another plugin is interfering with bbPress’s role and capabilities. That, or it’s a bug. Will need you to figure out which it is and report back if it’s something we can fix on our end.
@patking76 – is this with the 2.1 re-release?
@MTPower – Age old WordPress and bbPress UX issue. Could use some ajax to make it easier. bbPress 2.0 solves this, and when we update bbpress.org it will no longer be an issue. (You could have also used the link in the upper left, but it’s easily missed.)
