Im trying plan our forum layout. I have purchased the Support Desk theme from Hero Themes, but I want to change some things to the forum. Most importantly i want to choose topics in a left pane, and have them load in the right pane. The idea is that people dont have to go back and forth.

Were going to post a project on freelancer.com or similar, but it would be nice to know a little bit more before we go ahead. Is this a simple matter of creating a wordpress template, or do i need a bbpress-expert? Is there a reason why i hardly see this layout on forums i dont know about?

Yes this is possible, bbPress posts are the same as WordPress posts so you would be able to send an ID to an ajax function and then retrieve a topic by ID with replies and display it in the “Load topic here” area.

Good luck with your build! 🙂
