WHere can I find themes for bbPress 2.1.2 which is inside BuddyPress 1.6 with the BP Columns 1.5.3 theme? Have you an advice for design, formating and “make up” my forum?

hi, I am sure, I am not the only one, but I do think ‘Reply” button (and maybe also “quote” button should be added by defult in every post, so users do not have to go to the bottom of the page to reply to given topic,
threaded comments are available in WordPress and it is great feature, so I think it should be nr1 new feature in bbpress 2.2
it is especially useful when replies to a topic take more than one page… especially for new users who never used bbpress.. but different forum software, this would be really great
we are using buddypress forums (after moving from phpbb, and the number of replies is now dramatically lower, because users can’t always find an easy way to reply.. and just give up…
and considering that forums are normally used for “support” – volunteers who would like to reply just give up! 🙁
Solved! – Somehow or another I had the plugin ‘bbPress Threaded Replies” activated. After disabling it the replies appeared under the topics as expected.
I really don’t like the auto-formatting in this bbpress forum demo ><
Just to add more info. I can see the reply if I view it by clicking on the provided link from the dashboard. So it seems like the topic and the reply are disconnected.
Also – maybe this information makes any difference, maybe not. I have several forum categories, and then in those categories I have at least one forum. So within one of these forums I have the topics where the replies don’t show up.
I’m using the 2010 bbPress theme in Blogs MU theme.
I recently started using bbPress in conjunction with BuddyPress on a multisite environment. The issue I’m running into is that the topic replies down show up when I click on the topic. I can see that the topic has a reply from the forum, but when I click on it I just see the screen where I can enter my own reply. Attached is a screenshot. Any idea what this could be?

those was RAW data from MYSQL DB …
i actually DON’T NEED to convert BBCodes – i need original post texts, and that is the problem, cause bbpress converter convert [quote] to DIV
temporary fix was – to get original text from the phpbb_posts table via wp_postmeta key _bbp_post_id

I checked the privileges of the what my subscribers have vs. what bbpress users have, and it matches. I am not sure what the issue is.
There are 20,000+ plugins in the WordPress plugin directory alone, at times there will be conflicts.
If you do not specify the exact problems you are having here regarding bbPress or prepared to specify them to the other plugin developers then no developers know of your issues and this indeed comes to mind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_a_tree_falls_in_a_forest
The chance that each plugin happens to do that? And how long til they do? Not a chance.
I just tried Mingle Forum instead, and that works fine with all of my other plugins. Sorry bbpress, but you don’t play nice with others. This is the third site that I tried using bbpress with, and its always been the same issue (but with different plugins).
Have a look at the raw data in your MySQL database not the rendered HTML output, apart from some ‘line breaks’ (<br />) you will find this data is identical.
phpBBv3: phpbb_posts.post_text bbPress: wp_posts.post_content
If you are actually wanting the importer to convert phpBB’s BBCode during import that is being worked on for future versions of bbPress and the import/conversion tool.

Thanks for all the work you do, netweb. I was also happy to see some dude suddenly appeared with a solution to this important feature of stripping bbcode of useless stuff: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1884

He uses paid gd-taxonomies-tools as plug in.

Import Forums -> Select Platform by default is “Example” I think it must NOT be selected by default, because the user may forget to select the right platform – and in that case nothing is going to happen, and user will think that the converter is broken …
