Trae, thanks for coming back – we all have bad days 
‘As far as sucky themes go, it’s really just my observation. I’m not trying to be cruel. I haven’t seen a truly amazing bbPress theme implementation that makes me go.. “HOLY COW, THIS IS AWESOME.” ‘
Just out of interest, can you let me have a url of a forum (any make!) that does make you go ‘holy cow’ or even “that looks nice” – I’m interested in what bbpress is missing.
