Reply To: Forums in a public/private site
Would I be better with a ‘site-wide’ forum rather than the private All Residents group?
I think this is now sorted based on your reply.
Can I make a site-wide forum private?
Same this is now sorted.
How do I modify the formatting of the forum postings?
If you want custom templates then follow the steps outlined here to make copies of the templates in your theme so they don’t get overridden when you update bbPress.

Where do I look to troubleshoot the ‘threading’ function?
You state you are using ‘bbPress 2.2’, threaded replies were introduced in bbPress 2.4 so you should upgrade to the latest bbPress 2.5.2. You can then enable them in bbPress settings per https://codex.bbpress.org/forum-settings/#forum-features
