It’s a nice site; no worries about the ad, but I would be curious to see what that code does to an out of the box version of bbPress. It should get it pretty close; I just use a lot of ‘Inspect Element’ clicking to figure out what might be broken and tweak it. The main issue with bbPress and Pinboard is to do with the .onecol format, which for some reason is broken. Just an FYI, I’ve also modified the header.php file and the search.php file in Pinboard to move their built-in slider up to the utmost top of the page, so I can use it as a banner. It doesn’t quite work on my forums page, because that’s actually in a sub-category but in the blog section it slides. Just to explain why that may look different.
One other thing of note: in building my site I did a multisite install with three different instances of Pinboard running different sections. This allows me to keep the (1) Board, (2) Blog/Gear Reviews/Podcasts/Videos, and (3) Photoblog separate. The photoblog has like 1700 images so I didn’t want those mixed in with general purpose posts, and in order to make the board work with the CSS tweaks above, I had to set it up as a multisite so I could configure the other sections differently, get away from a one column layout, etc. The good news is in a multi-site the user carries their logged in status and identity from section to section regardless of which blog they’re in.
