i-badhani is 100% correct.
My needs have been met by plugins, for the most part, but I am in dire straits when it comes to themes.
I am not able to code fluently, so I hack away at existing themes. Finally found one I like but it is not compatible with IE6 (which some people still use)…
Would LOVE to have an easily tweaked bbpress theme similar to THESIS for WP.
Saving that, an easily-tweaked theme, period.

The first one is not avatars (those are for people) – you want topic icons, like gerikg linked you to.
None of the user integration steps should of messed with bbpcore functions. I know if you tried to do deep integration, which wasn’t in those steps that could of made the forums disappear.
actually, i’m using it for build a portal so it just for internal office use so there’s no link for outsider who wanna look. 
i’m using IIS not apache…is there any relation with that? I guess not
ouw, and when i did step #3 and #4, the last 3 didn’t lock as it should be…even i repeated again…
huff…almost frustrating just for this..
Hello,
We’ve been using bbPress for a couple of weeks now, and have been getting a couple dozen automated accounts each day. Now it appears they are coming alive adding spam posts to the forums.
We’re using the instant-password plugin because we don’t want our users to have to wait for e-mail, and I personally despise captcha (see http://www.stopcaptcha.com).
After cleaning out the bot accounts, here is what we did to stop it:
Our registration page: http://www.checkfront.com/community/register.php
Using CSS, we hid the occupation and interest fields (don’t need them). Spam bots will often fill out all the forum fields on a page. If a new registration comes in with one of those filled, we discard it.
We also added a hidden field (potpan) that gets filled with a unique id generated on each page load via javascript. If the potpan id doesn’t match the one in the session, we discard it.
Since we put it in place yesterday, it’s blocked all 35 automated registrations.
If anyone is using the instant-password plug in and would like the modified code, let me know and will zip it up. Perhaps this functionality could make its way into the standard registration.
Cheers,
-J
What version of bbPress are you using?
Give me a link to your site
the last time i remember i follow the instruction from u gerikg (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-integration-coockie-does-not-work)…
i always clear my cache everytime i wanna use my application…
yeah if i login from bbpress i can login to both admin…but, is there a way which i can login from WP first???
and why my post on BP won’t show up??
There is no separation between WP users and users in Pods. Pods is a plugin built ontop of the WP framework. It creates custom tables which are scuplted to fit the exact specifications of the content developed with Pods.
I don’t know much about Pods, but how does this handle things like wordpress-bbpress integration? Is there user integration?
Actually, it looks like bb_topic_labels prints both of them on my install… but I’m on 0.9.x:
<div class="posttitle"><?php echo $sticky_label;?><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?><a>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a> <span class="postinfo"> by <?php $topic_author = get_topic_author(); ?> <a>topic_poster ) )) ?>"><?php echo($topic_author) ?></a> <?php echo get_topic_start_time(); ?> ago</div>
There are some known bugs with Support Forum and 1.0… do you see an error like this one?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/support-forum/page/3/#post-1565
If so, there’s a fix posted at that link I believe!
Or if you don’t see an error like that, please let us know exactly what behavior you see when you activate the plugin and then close a topic and change its status using Support Forum. Thanks!
I have a long-standing habit of using subversion for WordPress and bbPress updates. There are some added features in the trunk that I like, but I wonder if it’s safe to update to the trunk at this point. A look at the tickets seems to indicate that it would be relatively ok.
Anyone have experiences using trunk?
I’m a big fan of fluid theme designs. People used to care about screens with different resolutions, but it seems like everyone has forgotten about their HTML design now. I guess the defaults with bbPress and WordPress don’t help the concept much.
What I really care about are themes with ads that also say you’re not allowed to take them off.
Nice catch! 
I will clean all of them up. Any ideas about the plugin to show preview of bbpress themes?
Hi bforeste
I think you don’t need that step, drop tables means wipe it out as you said
I’m building a migration script that does migration automatically. As for what bbPress itself evolves into, I’m not sure if it will get easier or more difficult, but I plan on accommodating a reasonable amount of trouble
Here’s a crazy question. Whatever bbpress evolves into, will migration to something new, like what you’re building, be a crazy nightmare?
Sabuntu – i’m following your string here to see if a total wipe out / replace will help me get through the 0.9.2 to 1.0.2 upgrade (my saga is chronicled: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/upgrade-errors-it-looks-like-your-database-is-out-of-date)
I have a question in your step #7: What do you mean exactly by “drop it down”? Are you saying wipe out the meta_value for bb_capabilities?
thanks for clarifying
bforeste
It looks fixed, thank you! I’ll put the link below but not complete the link because it will add this post into the search for
“bbpress 1.03”
What’s next?
I guess this is part of the problem with not having an official theme repository. WordPress is finally getting the word out that downloading themes from other than the repository can get you a theme loaded with nasty stuff. bbPress may have to do the same thing.
That’s normal, it’s in the default theme as well.
<?php
$_head_profile_attr = '';
if ( bb_is_profile() ) {
global $self;
if ( !$self ) {
$_head_profile_attr = ' profile="http://www.w3.org/2006/03/hcard"';
}
}
?>
