Topic replies are squashed on some themes

[NickMackz]

When using some themes (Custom Community is one), replies to forum topics are all squashed making them unreadable. This can fixed by adding this into bbpress.css. This makes all replies the correct height for their content. I suppose this would also need to be added to bbpress-rtl.css.

div.reply {
    height: auto;
}

Don't suppose you have a site with this theme active I can see?

I am using it on ​http://talonstrikeforce.net with this 'fix' on an older version of 2.1 (about 2 weeks old). However the forums are members only. Feel free to register and I will approve you, or I can create you an account and PM you the password if you like.

This code change alone will be too far-reaching, since comments or any other thing might have a 'reply' class. Do you have any other alternative?

[NickMackz]

Changing it to

#bbpress-forums div.reply {
    height: auto;
}

should make it only apply to bbPress replies and not others.

I'm going to move this to 2.2. I haven't experienced any themes on WP.com with a height issue on replies in 2.1 dev, so my guess is it's a table layout issue that's already resolved.

I haven't encountered this exact problem, but I have ran into similar issues with bbp-theme-compat. It's always weird CSS getting applied to .reply via the theme. This seems to be an easy preventative fix. If we see more issues in the forums it could be bumped to 2.1.2.
