First of all, loving the theme! Great work guys!
But I'm missing a sidebar for the Forum page to ad bbPress widgets.
There is a Left-Sidebar and Member-sidebar, but no sidebar for the forum page.
I'm asking this because the theme says "BuddyPress compatible" and BuddyPress comes with the option "Pages" - Forum. It would be very nice to have that sidebar feature so I can use it for bbPress Widgets, as I use a forum on my website for support.
I know I can use the standard sidebar on a page that I use for the Forum, but I'm already using it for other purposes that doesnt fit the forum profile.
Could this be easily updated or done by some tweaks?

Hiya!
The theme doesn't allow for a separate sidebars for the forums I'm afraid.
However, you might be able to achieve what you're after using the Widget Logic plugin.
I'm not exactly sure of the conditional you'll need to use, but this should get you started: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-do-i-detect-whether-im-on-a-buddypress-page
Thanks,

Thank you Phil, for the fast reply!
But I found a better solution:

And this works on all themes!
