try these two plugins and see if they fix your issue.

@gptxffa

you can also create me a subscriber/participant account and send me the login details through email so that i can see the problem first hand.

Contact

also off topic , but upgrade your web browser to something like google chrome.

IE 8 is just horrible.

Showing the comment your are replying to next to the reply to: text bbPress does not do that. That sounds like some custom development go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and post a job.

as for reply threading , i guess not threading??

see if its a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

@screenwavemedia

create a copy of page.php rename it to bbpress.php and put a conditional tag into the code.

i think use bbp_is_search()

@ronosho

are you still having the issue??

[Robkk]

what version of bbPress / BuddyPress / WordPress are you using?

[Robkk]

If you have a sticky topic for a specific forum when you go to the specific forum you will see the sticky topic at the top.

when you create a super sticky topic the topic with show on all forums.

when you go to the forum archive and have it show topics by fresheness it i think it shows all topics by freshness sticky or not.

if that doesnt help you , link to the weird sticky topic so i can check on the issue.

[Robkk]

@mentions is not part of bbPress yet.

but for now you can use the @mentions feature from BuddyPress and use on forums with this code.

copy this into your child themes functions.php or use a functionality plugin.

function custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts( $retval = false ) {
	if ( function_exists( 'bbpress' ) && is_bbpress() ) {
		$retval = true;
	}
 
	return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_maybe_load_mentions_scripts', 'custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts' );

and i think you would get an email notification from BuddyPress anytime you get @mentioned

for multiple users you can just separate it with a space.

@wuthirsch

glad you solved your own issue.

[Robkk]

@gfxcon

yeah it looks fine to me to , if the issue persists reply back

[Robkk]

This sounds like some custom development.

I suggest you hire a developer , go post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[Robkk]

There is a way using the wp user query

https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User_Query

plugins like BuddyPress have this type of feature too.

bbPress does not have a feature/shortcode like this, but if you use BuddyPress , bbPress is compatible with it.

[Robkk]

you did hover over the topic title right??

[Robkk]

copy the original file from the plugin and copy it to your child theme.

the file should be like this in your child theme

wp-content > themes > (your child theme name) > bbpress

[Robkk]

oh i forgot , it should be in loop-single-topic.php

copy that into a child theme and put it in a folder called bbpress

[Robkk]

@andrew55

I’m still hungup on getting the overflow figured out.

link to your site and i could help with that.

It appears they have the avatar somehow wrapped in a span, and the span has the overflow assigned to it.

i dont think you need a span for it , i could add it into the code but im sure it will be fine with just a float:left;

@stagger-lee

what is that ? Is that bbPress forum ?

that was not a bbPress forum, its something else.

[Robkk]

@stagger-lee

this is for the subscription emails sent to users when they subscribe to topics/forums

not the little notice text above a topic

[Robkk]

thats great!!

[Robkk]

i got my fingers crossed

[Robkk]

only thing i can think of is changing this

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_title' ); ?>

		<a class="bbp-topic-permalink" href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title(); ?></a>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_title' ); ?>

to this

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_title' ); ?>

		<a class="bbp-topic-permalink" title="<?php bbp_topic_excerpt?>" href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title(); ?></a>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_title' ); ?>

[Robkk]

@stagger-lee

the way you did it requires BuddyPress especially the activities part of it.

still neat though, i like how you used the wifi signal for the online status icon.

[Robkk]

i think that is loop-single-reply.php

copy that into your child theme in a folder called bbPress before you make any changes to it.

[Robkk]

it looks like the automatic configuring will be soon in its next release.

1.

change the size to a 48

put this into your child themes functions.php file or a functionality plugin

function rkk_topic_av() {
	    	echo bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '48' , 'type' => 'avatar'));
}
add_action('bbp_theme_before_topic_title','rkk_topic_av');

then use this CSS

put this into anywhere you can put custom CSS

a child themes style.css
jetpacks custom css module
any standalone custom css plugin.

li.bbp-topic-title .avatar-48 {
  float: left;
  margin-right: 5px;
}

2. i guess use the text-overflow property in CSS

here is an example.

remove the http:// when you go past 2 links.
