I’ve done a complete re-write; as before I’m only distributing the style.css (and a screenshot) no template.php files, this ensure that no security issues are associated with my theme.

Installation

• Create a “my-templates” directory in your bbPress installation directory
• Download unzip k2 for bbpress in that directory
• Under “design” and “themes” select k2
• done

Download bbCode Plugin for bbPress

I’ve been playing with bbpress, by default there are no Avatars, I’ve made a little adjustment to the plugin by Joshua Hutchins

echo '<img src="' . get_avatar_loc( $user->ID ) . '" alt="' . $user->user_login . 's Avatar"' . ' />';
}
}

Styles & img sizes could be added into the tag as desired…. then in profile.php template, add…
