Heh, I feel bad, and I know better. I’ve been in the Open Source community since 96′ and I do know better. I just always assume all the things have been sussed out.
I’m tired, exhausted from 24hrs work in two days. I do appreciate what you’ve said and actually was able to figure out how to get a different theme to show up.
I just wish there was a less “command-line”y way of doing things for those that might not know how to deal with a shell or to get their hands dirty.
I may not be able to code, but I do know my way around a unix command line.
As far as sucky themes go, it’s really just my observation. I’m not trying to be cruel. I haven’t seen a truly amazing bbPress theme implementation that makes me go.. “HOLY COW, THIS IS AWESOME.”
Anyhoo, again, thank you so much for taking time to respond.
Cheers,
Trae
Heh, stop being so awesome in your replies. 🙂
Anyway, me, the non-coder, still doesn’t understand why it(bbpress plugin) can’t simply have an option to use styles from other themes. If nothing else, the CSS etc would be a nice “base” for things like link colors, font sizes, whatever.
*sigh*
I tried bbPress Tweaks. Meh.
I’ll read the link you posted. Hopefully it doesn’t suck.
bbPress has such a non-WP feel about it though in everything I’ve come to expect from WordPress. Part of it is my frustration with PHPBB, and part of it is my frustration with not being able to get a non-sucky looking forum with bbPress.
And, I have yet to see a non-sucky bbPress based forum. Most are fairly crappy in how they present and deal with the content.
Easy of me to throw stones in a glass house when I don’t code I guess. I just wish there were more sane defaults in bbPress that looked better out of the box.
