  Hi, we are very new to this so please bear with me. We want to open our own support forum (just like this one but totally different subject). My husband got this through wordpress assuming we could do this through here. I don’t really want a blog, as a blog is more where I type daily entries or whatever, and others comment on my entries…a forum is a community of people posting their own posts and questions and getting responses (correct?)…that’s what we’re after. I told my husband that I don’t think a blog will support (or work as) a “forum”… Any help is appreciated on if wordpress supports forums.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi. WordPress.com is not equipped to host forums. The closest thing to a forum here would be a blog that uses the P2 theme:
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/p2/

  The following thread offers links to some places you can host your forum in:

  ~~ airodyssey – nice way to get around the spam filter and save typing – my Post was stuck in the filter for hours on that thread.

  thanks
