bbPress == Free Software.

And actually, spending money when you can’t do something yourself is pretty much how it works. If I can’t rebuild the engine on my car, I pay someone to do it. I don’t think anyone was suggesting you spend more money: upgrading to the latest release is good advice when the software is in BETA. It makes troubleshooting things easier to know you have the latest release. In this case though, I don’t think upgrading will have any effect on this problem. It can be solved with CSS, not new functions or bug fixes from the latest bbPress.
