 * Hi,
    I’ve also posted this message at [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/interaction-with-buddypress-styles?replies=1#post-4067236](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/interaction-with-buddypress-styles?replies=1#post-4067236)
   since it concerns both plugins a bit.

 * I’ve fixed it in my own stylesheet, but I think you’ll agree that it would be
   better if that didn’t have to be done.
 * Cheers.

 * Genesis Connect is designed for you to copy genesis-connect/child-theme/your-
   child-theme/buddypress.css and customize the copy in your child theme. If you
   have a custom child theme then copy the one included for genesis.
 * If you are using the bbPress plugin for your group forums you may need to do 
   some custom CSS because the BP template tags indicate that it is a BP page even
   though the page content is generated by bbPress.

 * Breaks more than just bbPress.
 * Is there a reason why you need to set every li in #content to inline and float:
   left?
 * Can’t you be more specific in your targeting?
