   Hi,

   My site has a number of different categories - one of them is food and recipes and I would like to have a forum there where people can discuss or add recipes. How can i do this? Is there a plug-in that I can use that is VERY simple? I am using Arclite Theme.

   My site is: http://www.thesouthafricaguide.com

   There are a variety of forum plugins available:

   Thanks for the link.
   Buddypress looks like the most interesting Forum plug-in. But before I install it, do you know if it is compatible with arclite theme? (the other two plug-ins I found are WP forum and Tal.ki) I honestly do not know which of these 3 to choose :)

   BuddyPress is whole other beast entirely. It's a social networking platform with a forum, and though it is a plugin, it'll basically transform your entire site. Because of this, BuddyPress has its own (currently small) set of themes, so Arclite won't work with it.

   One more question: I want a forum that will leave my arclite theme for my site as is. Does BBpress and WP forum allow that?
