I wish as much effort went into more productive activity
Like what mate?
Plugins?
Themes?
We’ve been sitting with a semi-functioning release for over 6 months, and there’s a new version coming out at some unknown point in the future, and given the track record, we can’t develop anything for it becasue BBpress releases = break loads of things from before.
Heck even your single solitary remaining moderator has told people that. (i don’t want to requote chris too much, he’s been a great mod who’s workign his socks off here, and don’t want to back him into a corner).
With the upmost respect bud, we can only go on what we’re told. And we’re told to check the blog, then we’re told to check the weekly IRC logs, then we’re told to check trac updates, then we’re told to check commits etc etc. Every time someone pulls a “chicken little” the place they’re told to check for updates doesn’t have any, and then they come back a bit more worried.
We’re not intentionally pulling a “chicken little” every 10 mins matey, we’re just trying to keep up. It takes very little time (thanks to a wonderful blogging platform ;-] ) to post saying “no irc chat for 3 weeks folks”, and the problem is solved.
Much like spam, it’s best prevented before it sets in, rather than being unhappy about it afterwards. May i suggest that less of the “Wizard of Oz” routine (man behind the curtain saying all is well) might diminish some of the “Chiken Little” routine that seems to irk? Maybe communication could be considered your Akismet
What i’m not sure you get it mate (and you might, so i’ll apologise if you do), that alot of us are in limbo with this. We’re all in a holding pattern waiting for this mythical next release, and man, we want to help. But with no communication, its really hard.

That said, really hope you had a great time on your travels

Hi:
I discovered an issue that I just wanted to share:
I installed bbpress in a subdirectory of WordPress without integrating. I used a new database and did not touch cookie integration. There are no plugins or content, as this installation is just for building a new child theme.
My WordPress child theme was designed using the Thematic theme framework. Now, I’m trying to design a bbPress child theme with the Hybrid theme framework.
However, my bbpress child theme will only refer to my WordPress Thematic child theme stylesheets in a completely different directory. This was even true when I tried to hardcode the @import lines in the bbpress child theme functions.php file.
I don’t know the solution, here, but thought I’d share for anyone else. If you want to test a child theme on your server, make sure you don’t install bbpress in a subdirectory of WordPress. I don’t know yet if it will work when I integrate WordPress and bbPress, but I assume it does since so many have already done that.
Topic: Premium Theme's and Plugins
I was hoping that someone could point me towards BBpress or Automattic’s official stance on this. From what I’ve read, the PHP code that interacts with WordPress/BBpress should all be released under the GPL, but HTML/CSS/JavaScript/Images are not.
I bring this up, because a fellow developer (an old Bbprogress contributor), pointed me towards this piece by Jeff Chandler: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2010/02/08/where-is-the-line-drawn/
The main thing that caught my attention was the comment of Chip Bennet , who states that:
[a] plugin uses a separate library – and it is that library (presumably not released under GPL) that requires purchase if it is used on a commercial site.
This practice is perfectly acceptable under the GPL. Whether or not it is acceptable under the double-secret probation, unwritten, subjective rules of the plugin repository is anyone’s guess.
Can anyone shine some light on this from a BBpress perspective?
I’m going to quote Matt here:
…that themes link and use lots of internal WordPress functions, which make them linked under the GPL and subject to being a GPL-compatible license.
If a theme (or a plugin) used no internal WP functions or APIs, then it could probably be considered independent, but that would be really really hard for a theme.
Basically, I’m asking because BBpress, probably more than WP (at least if you’re only using WP as blog platform) has potentail for premium theme’s and plugins at this moment in time. Getting some clarification would make things alot simpler.
My real concern here is one that won’t go down well…
BBpress forums have 1 current/active moderator
I ask for two reasons.
Should a premium theme/plugin be created and sold, and given that BBpress currently has 1 active Moderator, what is there to stop someone posting the code here or reusing the code that is NOT under GPL?
Not a huge concern of mine just now, but it seems like a likely question of anyone supporting premium BBpress additions.
Marius, i told you what the problem was:
Your issue has nothing to do with the footer, as it doens’t have any background associated with it. Your image of Michael Jackson is associated with your div with the id of WRAPPER. Your theme, for some reason, has not put the footer inside the wrapper. There is no white block hiding your image when you scroll the bottom, the DIV it’s assocaited with simply stops.
and I told you how to fix it :
Just move your footer inside your wrapper and you’ll fix it
I wasn’t being arrogant or mean, i was being honest with you mate, that if you are struggling with this sort of level of web design basics then this forum isn’t the best place for you – for your sake, not for mine
Your post above, like your post yesterday https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/need-help-placing-a-div-somewhere-for-custom-background hasn’t anything to do with BBpress. I’m not saying don’t ask for help, i’m saying that if you were to go to other websites and learn some of the basics of webdesign you’d have more skills to do it yourself – and thats a great feeling
I’m sorry you thought i was being arrogant, i thought i was being honest AND had told you the solution to your problem.
Marius,
With all due respect, if you dont know how to make this simple CSS fix, this isn’t the place for you to get help. The issue you’re having isn’t with BBpress.
I’d strongly suggest that you try one of the CSS websites and play around with your theme to achieve your desired goal. You’ll stumble upon the answer quicker than us explaining the basics of web design step by step
Hi Marius,
These really aren’t BBpress questions mate, and you’d have alot more success going to a CSS website. That said, I’ll try and help.

Hi to all,
I think that Automattic works increasingly on BuddyPress before developing on bbPress at the moment – yesterday has appeared the Second Release Candidate of BuddyPress 1.2.
The Trac shows BuddyPress 1.2 no longer in the originally planned schedule, but the official release will be soon.
I can imagine that after publication of BuddyPress 1.2 the work will be focused at bbPress again. Automattic hopes for the big success of a Single Installation of WordPress (2.9.1/3.0) together with BudyPress as social network module.
Then – as we can hope – bbPress is the third component that will be integrated.
Greetings
Markus
