Hi ronchicago – it comes up reasonably frequently here with various forums.

Try a search like this:
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/search/forum+integration?forums=1

And perhaps add a forum you’re interested in to that search and see what pops up.

i have installed bbPress and am currently working with the css to make it look like my blog. there are issues with bbPress regarding registration = could be more seamless and user friendly.

has anyone tried rs-discuss? not much current help with this plug. does anyone know of a rs-discuss site that is working?

while tweeking bbPress currently in stealth mode vkaryl mentions “simple forum” which i just installed. this plugin “really” integrates well with my theme, users. super documentation. lots of features. “so many” features = not so simple! 😉
