[bbDev] if (is_home()) function

[fernando]

in trying to add a functional template i discovered that anything added 
to the sidebar pushes the poster id down in the sidebar.
so if you want to add more than a search form in the main sidebar, it 
messes up the template for the rest of the board.

i thought that perhaps the new WP "is" functions would be the perfect 
solution to creating announcements, or index information (include 
stats, rules, testimonials) for the front-page sidebar.

sadly, the function:

<?php if (is_home()) {
foo
bar
foo
<?php } ?>

doesn't function in bbPress

unless of course i have written the equasion wrong...
