  Hi everyone.

  I hope this is the right place, the right question, the right everything.

  Shortly.

  I chose the MistyLook by Sadish theme. Style is maybe a bit too feminine, but clean. It is ok.

  The point is: I would like to have a forum to share discussions with other wine lovers I know.

  Can I have a forum using this theme? I can’t find it on the panel.

  Do wordpress.com blogs support forums, anyhow?

  Thanks a lot.

  Rossano

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

  This has nothing whatsoever to do with which theme you have. We cannot embed forum into WordPress.com blogs. You can get a free forum on the web and link to it form your wordpress.COM blog.

  Thanks.

  Sadly, it’s not just Sadish, the issue… :-*

  Is there some free forum that you think is worth recommending?

  Eventually, does it exist some platform offering layout or at least graphics integration with the most popular wordpress themes?

  Thanks again.

  Thank you.

  I am quite familiar with freeforums.org, while looks like vanillaforums.com is quite variated in its graphical layout.

  Any other suggestion or opinion is really welcome.

  Thanks a lot

  These forums are based on BBPress, which I believe was invented b y the same guy as invented WordPress. But you would need to get some free hosting; sometimes your internet access package at home comes with webspace and then you can install the forum software in it.
