  No, you can’t embed a forum directly in to your wordpress.com blog. You can certainly put a link to it in your sidebar though.

  I am deeply confused even after reading everything.

  All I wanna know is, on the website I have, can a proboards forum be embedded?

  I thought staked’s answer was clear. What about his answer makes you confused?

  As for auxclass’s link: that’s just to show you that Proboards is not the only option.

  To make it simple:

  NO.

  You can do other things to use a forum though.

  You can’t embed it. You can link to it if you get it up and running somewhere else.

  Alright, for a company as big as wordpress, this should be simple, though, you can see why i’m annoyed.

  I’ll give you the scoop.

  You can’t Embed stuff here, because that’s a huge security risk. The bigger the webhost, the more concerned with security they should be. So this is a very secure platform. If you want to embed stuff, you are going to have to find a different host and put up with a lot more risk.
