What's the best plugin to download for Wordpress to get a forum? I use MingleForum but I don't think it's that user friendly. I'd love to use vBulletin but I heard it costs a lot. Any suggestions?

It has nothing to do with WordPress, which is why mnuelreyes no longer has a signature.

The two choices for WP forum plugins are probably SimplePress or bbPress. Simple Press is the more mature of the two, but bbPress is created by the same people who create WordPress so somewhere down the line it may be the forum plugin.

Yes it does have to be wordpress becuase that's where my blog is created. I'm hoping for a cheap and reliable one..but that may be hard to come by.

Did you read my post? The "nothing to do" comment wasn't referring to you or your question. It referred to Chris asking another member what his spam post had to do with this conversation.

I then answered your question by mentioning the two most popular plugins for adding a forum to WordPress, both of which are free.

100% agreed with vangogh. livelifeactive please read vangogh writings. He clearly mentioned about simplepress and bbpress, these plugins are free so you don't have to spend anything.

If you would like to set up Simple press for your wordpress blog then you can find tutorial about set up here:
Code:

Hope this will help you.

Planning to go with bbPress, seems like this systems gets most votes.
Perhaps one thing that stops many is that there is no direct plugin-like activation of this forum and some tweaking required (not for everyone)...

bbPress is a plugin now like any other. You can search for it on the admin side of your blog and install it like you would any plugin. It'll work out of the box, though you'll probably want to tweak it to match your theme.
