Are there ads or something like that holding the column in place? Because I block most ads and that might be it.
FF3 on XP looks perfectly fine for me too.
The state the trunk is in right now needs a great deal more bug reports – I find at least one new problem every time I try it because they keep changing chunks of code that are critical with backwards compatibility.
You don’t want to unleash it as a regular release in that state, even as an alpha, because despite my constant warnings and explanations, people use the alpha on live, active sites, usually because they absolutely have to use the very newest WordPress despite it’s bloat and bugs.
I’m fairly certain there will be another alpha release before the end of the year though.
If you know how to use SVN then you can help contribute with quality bug reports on TRAC.
In FF3 or IE7 it does not look like _ck_ saw at all. Looks fine to me.
@Nipon: I had that plug-in installed at one point also, but I’m not sure if it is the culprit or not. I actually installed it hoping that it would pick up on the bbPress roles but it didn’t.
If you integrate by modifying the config.php files, you won’t be able to access the bbPress admin regardless of where you login from.
If you don’t integrate the config.php files, you can access the bbPress admin by logging in ONLY through the forum/bb-login.php.
WordPress just isn’t aware of how to assign your session/role the forum admin rights. I am convinced this isn’t a cookie issue because all of us seem to have them pretty well synced up, and we’re able to login and stay logged in.
Are you using FF2 or 3? I’m on Flock, and my husband on FF3 and we’re not getting that. Also, what is your desktop resolution? I’ll try to recreate what you’re getting.
Edit: Actually, what is it that you’re seeing as floating? I’m confused.. I thought you were talking about the tags, but those don’t float in IE or Flock for me.
Have you tested it in Firefox on Windows?
The column float is not working correctly and pushes the middle down below the left.
I tweaked two similiar themes to create one that looks nearly identical. I wanted to post them here. If anyone would like me to zip the themes up, I would be willing to.
I do want to give credit to the person who created the themes in the first place. I’m not great with coming up with raw code so really all the credit is theirs.
bbPress original theme – http://bbshowcase.org/forums/?bbtheme=MistyMorning-bbpress
WordPress original theme – http://themeterminal.com/demo/index.php?wptheme=Ad+Clerum
My merged theme – http://www.asparenting.com
I’m wondering how come the developers haven’t given us a real honest-to-goodness integration yet. It obviously works over at wordpress.org, and one has to assume they are using the newest most stable versions.
The wp.org forums use the same template as the rest of the site, so it is obviously integrated with the theme and everything. Curious how THEY did it, because what we’re doing isn’t working.
I think what CK is saying, is that the developers of WP and BBP have lots on their desk right now, and before we put more pressure on them to produce more results, we should let them finish the work they’ve got.
bbPress doesn’t quite have the panache of WordPress yet. It doesn’t have the user-base or the following or the demand. I think all of us share your enthusiasm for wanting a new version, but I also think that once bbPress gains momentum there will be no shortage of upgrades and new versions, especially if WordPress is any indication of their intent to produce new versions.
I know what is SVN, man 
And use it every day, for bbpress tests too. But alphas are good for bug reports, help others and wordpress integration testing. We sould discuss one named pie of code. I love digits (rev numbers are digits too), it’s my job, but the people is normal guys collection.
Oh and by the way, you don’t have to wait for official releases, simply install a SVN client and you can keep in sync with the very newest trunk copy (or any other release) any time you’d like.
It’s the same technique as for WordPress so use these instructions
https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing/Updating_WordPress_with_Subversion
also see this topic for more details/ideas
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/svn-procedure-for-checking-out-bbpress
and if your server is on apache, here’s how to easily install SVN as a client instead of the full package:

Haven’t made it yet, still pondering the best way to do it (I tend to think about the more complex ones for awhile).
Wow this topic was from last year? I must be slacking. I know I posted another message about it a week or two ago somewhere around here.
Currently working on Super-Search which is badly needed.
ps. ah here’s my more recent comments on this idea: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/to-bbpress-or-to-wordpress#post-21148
I call that full or complex integration and it’s mentioned in Integration 101 and many others do it I believe, despite my advise not to (until WordPress uses BackPress like bbPress 1.0)
I got to thinking, maybe we’re doing it all wrong.
Rather than try to work WordPress into bbPress, why not just include the bb-config.php file inside the wp-config.php file instead.
Viola, from what I can tell, everything works like a charm. CK, your bbCode plug-in breaks some of the WordPress tags/shortcodes though, [caption] etc…
This way, bbpress can be directly referenced inside the entire website, and WordPress can use it’s functions AND the ones from bbPress to micromanage the login situation.
I really need to investigate this more, but I think that I might be on to something with this whole integration issue.
A simple plug-in could be made to include the core WordPress queries inside bbPress for pages, categories, etc… Without having to duplicate load everything inside the header, etc…
Okay, so I just did this like 20 minutes ago and I’m a little giddy about the idea, and I’m sure there’s a myriad of reasons why this won’t work, but I think it’s a neat idea…
You also have the iNove theme.
I use them both on one of my blogs/forums.
You’ll find the WordPress theme here – and the bbPress theme here.
You can see theme live on my blog and my forum.

bbPress and WordPress are not cross aware of role changes.
So, if you change a WordPress role, the bbPress role is not changed;
If you change the bbPress role, the WordPress role is not changed.
I believe that this is is probably the way that most people would want it to be, although it would make sense eventually (once these can be more tightly integrated) to have the option of syncing them up.
mdawaffe will typically approve it in a few days but he’s been very busy with the WordPress 2.7 release so it might be a little longer than that right now.
Ok, so I have wordpress 2.51 fully integrated with bbpress 0.9.0.2. I had a friend who I wanted to show the backend so I had him register and I figured I would then change his membership level to admin. So he registered via WordPress (which is using the register plus plugin) and it worked fine. He had subscriber status on WP and member status on BB. However, when I upgraded him via WP and it gave him admin status in WP but it didn’t change his status in BB, he is still just a member.
Do I have to manually change this or is there a way to have it automatically change?
Hi
I use instant teleseminar for recordings and they generate a code that you embed in your site etc. to display the player and download links.
This is a sample of there code
<iframe width=”452px” height=”130px” frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” src=”http://instantTeleseminar.com/replay.asp?eventid=5220734&preffix=custom”></iframe>
It won’t display the player… how do I get this to work?
Is there an audio player plug in for bbpress like there is for wordpress?
Thanks
Ann
Hi,
I have BBPress 1.0-alpha-2 integrated with WordPress MU 2.6.3.
Users register and login with WordPress MU and are automatically logged in to BBPress. This all works fine.
The problem I have is that the users have no “role on these forums” despite the fact that I have set the User Role Map correctly.
I can update user’s roles manually, but obviously this is not ideal.
I’m stumped!! Has anyone had a similar problem or know what might be wrong?
Thanks,
Oli
Any plug-ins out there to add a change post author capability similar to WordPress, maybe in the admin panel or the admin area of the topic.php page?
@elwagar: Conversely, once they are registered you can assign them a role by going to the bbPress admin, WordPress Integration, and remapping. I feel like a plug-in could help this registration laziness along, but I also think this should just work correctly right away.
I actually had a similar issue years ago integrating phpBB 2.x and osCommerce together, trying to get one to work inside the other with cookies and what-not was a really big problem, one that I never really did get working 100% correctly.
I have no experience with bbPress Live, but it might be worth looking into. CK posted a really nice SQL example on how to grab information without a plug-in, so if you can’t get that to work, you could always put in a little manual labor.
