Comment (by samuelsidler):

 As I said in another ticket, our forums theme mixed with the bbPress base
 styles are a mess. We really need to fix that situation at some point.

 Case in point: this ticket.

 There are a couple of issues on the linked page.
 1. The sidebar has three columns.
 2. There's some unnecessary padding to the left of the sidebar.
 3. The "Topic Tag: [tag]" is missing on the right column.

 I was unable to fix the third issue because... well, I have no idea where
 that exists. I can't find it at all in the bbPress base theme, so I punted
 on it. We need to revisit all of this and do it over again sometime.

 This is what I did:
 1. There are three columns in our version. bbPress.org has two columns. I
 removed the Topics column and left the Posts column.
 2. I removed the padding.
 3. I removed the breadcrumb by removing the filter (but leaving the code),
 because it's not very useful right now. (We should have breadcrumbs, but
 we should have useful and good-looking ones.)

 One thing to note is that expanding the width of the sidebar div actually
 breaks the sidebar on the tag page (yay), so I didn't do that.

 This should fix most of the ugliness and, as @ocean90 said, we're handling
 the responsive work in #1138.
