The new post template is stored under post-form.php. register.php and bb-login.php are seperate pages that only include header.php and footer.php, so you’d need to include the sidebar either manually or in the header or footer respectively. Hope that helps!
I fixed the second & third issue but I am still stuck at the first one.
Looking at the markup I found <select name="forum_id" id="forum-id""> is being generated by bbPress codebut the same works in default theme flawlessly so this isn’t the cause. Can I have the complete lookup order for file required to generate the “Add new” page.
Hmm… as far as I can work out, (at least with pretty links on) a forum link redirects to forum.php which invokes post_form() towards the end of the page. That’s found in functions.bb-template.php (under bb-includes) and as well as running the respective pre/during/post actions, it loads the post-form.php template from the theme’s directory.
Could you post your theme’s post-form.php here?
<?php bb_new_topic_link(); ?> the code to add new.
The first one I know is in front-page.php
you have
<?php if ( $forums ) : ?>
then the Latest Discussion
then Forum
<?php endif; // bb_forums() ?>
Then Views
and the part you’re missing
<?php else : // $forums ?>
<div class="bbcrumb"><a href="<?php bb_uri(); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a> » <?php _e('Add New Topic'); ?></div>
<?php post_form(); endif; // $forums ?>

Mine post-form.php is exactly the same as that of Kakumei.
I can trace the problem to an unclosed anchor tag <a> which is in bbcrumb DIV.

Where does this code comes from? I mean which file?
Username:demo
Password:demo
@gerikg
I don’t get any of what you are trying to tel me. Probably you misunderstood my question.
Maybe you can hardcode the URL like this http://domain/forum.php?id=9#postform
ashfame,
Is this what you’re trying to generate? https://bbpress.org/forums/?new=1
Then continue reading.
The template file is front-page.php that does the “new?=1”
look at line 84-88
https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-templates/kakumei/front-page.php
@gerikg he’s trying to fix an additional <a> with no closing tag in the new post form, not generate a link to it 
@ashfame have a look at the bottom of front-page.php, it should read <div class="bbcrumb"><a href="<?php bb_uri(); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a> » <?php _e('Add New Topic'); ?></div>. Your code seems to have somehow dropped everything between the last two PHP snippets and the trailing </div> too. That’s not being returned by the breadcrumb function though at least, so it should be easier to fix if it doesn’t work with your template’s front-page.php deleted/renamed though, there might be something wrong with your core files.
Kawauso, you just said the same thing I did.
If hes trying to generate this page (go to the link and look) https://bbpress.org/forums/?new=1
then he’s missing the bottom half of the front-page.php
that is why I said look at :
look at line 84-88
https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-templates/kakumei/front-page.php
the same line you just brought up.
Replacing a line from Kakumei did the job. may be I accidentally removed that closing div tag. anyways. thanks for your help so far.
Also I want to fix an IE thing.
The sizes of input type text of login are not equal in IE even though I have defined their size=”20″
That double quote issue is there in the core file. Even the Kakumei produces invalid markup with it.
I have reported it to trac #1191
It’s IE, I’m not suprised. Try setting the width using CSS rather than the size attribute.
form.login input { width: 100px; } in the stylesheet
Using CSS, I managed to do it with little weirdness. God, kill IE asap 
Thanks buddy!
