Looking For Direction, Standard BBP or Commons In a Box…..

Greetings all!

I already have a website with a test run of Buddypress and BBpress installed. My intentions are to use it for folks to post public events in. My question is, before it grows too far to turn it in another direction, how can I make it look “less like” a standard forum? Meaning, I sure would like to break the Groups apart, (Christmas Tree Vendors, Races, Parades, etc), Into Blocks of their own, rather than the standard list format. Take a look at my homepage. Intentionally basic, but things are broken down by Group or Category. Can the forum be done the same way, or should I explore Commons In a Box more? Hope all that makes sense ???? .

Not sure what you are asking, but bbPress has their own forums.

HA HA HA HAAAAA! I knew as soon as I hit send, it didn’t make a lick of sense. Let me try again ????.

Buddypress and BBpress. In their “standard style”, the forum is basically in Grid form, (and that’s cool), but, I would like to break the grid form apart so that, say, when a Christmas Tree vendor post, the post has more style than just a grid. By “style” I mean that the forum doesn’t just have a grid format, rather more of a page layout. I am trying to come up with a way to keep the page more visually interesting to the general public, rather than the standard grid view, like this forum for instance. Not knocking standard forum stying, just looking away to jazz it up a bit.
