BuddyPress.org

Yes you need deep integration for the BuddyBar bbPress plugin.

Make sure you follow the instructions in the readme.txt.

Also for the forum look… unless you’re using the default BuddyPress look + Manoj’s bbPress theme (http://manojkumar.org/buddypress-theme-for-bbpress/), you’ll have to basically create a new theme that matches your WP/BuddyPress theme.

There’s no really good way around it I’m afraid.
