Forums for Wordpress

I am thinking of adding a forum to my wordpress site but I don't know any forums I could use. I just wanted to know which type of forum would be the best to use and which one is easiest to install?

Thanks

 

If budget is not your problem, go with vbulletion. Otherwise, phpBB. I believe, they've just released Version 3

There is a free Wordpress forum plugin called SimpleForum that integrates nicely into a blog.

How easy is it to install a forum to a site?
I have never uploaded anything to my wordpress blog and am afraid in case I lose some information from the site

 

I don't remember it being too difficult. The nice thing about SimpleForum is they have a great support forum. If you're concerned about data loss, backup your database first.

 

there is a forum plugin for wordpress.

 

Problem solved I now have a forum. I used phpbb just to let you know

Thanks for the suggestions

 

Go for vBulletin. It is the best and you will get awesome plugins for it.
