IP.Board Comments for WordPress allows you to use IPB (IP.Board or Invision Power Board) to replace or enhance your WordPress comments. When a new WordPress post is created in a mapped category, it will cross-post to your IPB forum with a link back to the WordPress post. The IPB forum link is saved in a custom field and will appear in the footer of your post.
You may find it much easier to manage comments and users on the forum, rather than using the minimal WordPress comment system.
Your IPB installation must reside on the same server as your WordPress installation.
Requires at least: IP.Board 3.0 and PHP 5.2.6
