  I don’t know if this is already a feature and I haven’t found it yet, but if not, I would like to suggest a forum plugin for WordPress sites? For .com sites. I know this already exists for .org.

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

  Staff review all threads posted into this forum and will contact you if they choose to add a forums plugin.

  At present there is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

  For your WordPress.COM blog you have three free workaround forum options http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2012/04/23/wordpress-com-forum-options/
  One approach is to register a forum on the internet and then create a custom menu in your blog and include a custom link to the forum in it.

  The Tlk.io widget allows you to embed a web chat in your WordPress.COM hosted blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/tlk-io-widget/ There are no other chat options I know of that work on WordPress.COM blogs at this time.
