I'm looking at forum plugins for Wordpress and I'm wondering if others here have any experience with this type of plugin and if anyone can offer any recommendations.

    Mingle Forum is pretty good. I use it on one of my websites. Here's a link to their page: Mingle Forum Plugin for WordPress | Cartpauj & iComNow

          I've tried BBPress and unless there's something I'm missing it didn't look all that great. However I didn't see any scrennshots or examples of a running forums (didn't find any) I'm currently working on setting up Mingle Forums. So far it looks pretty decent.

    OK well I may have found a better solution. I have installed phpBB which comes with my Hostgator account. SO now it just a matter of seeing if I can tweak the layout to look like the rest of my site. It's a Wordpress site using a Socrates theme.

    phpBB is a great forum, but integrating WP and phpBB user tables can be a pain sometimes.

    Here are some alternatives...
    1. Tal.ki
    1. SimplePress — it may not be pretty, but it can be styled with CSS.
    2. Vanilla Forums
    3. Mingle Forums
    4. Forum Press

    Good luck.
