    Hi, looking into building an onlnine forum, the forum is to be the main page and I don't want any topics. It'S an open forum, so I would like to see all the posts directly when entering the site. No clicking whatsoever to open a General discussion or anything... Is that doable? Any suggestions?!? Was thinking of using bbpress.
    Thanks in advance guys.

    Yes, just go to WP-Admin > Settings > Reading and set the static front page to that of where BBPress is used on

    Thanks, I will try that for sure.
    Do you think BB would be the best choice for a dynamic online forum?
    I want to have free as well as paid subscription accounts on there with different options depending if users are registered, unregistered, paid subscribers...

    Ive personally never used BBPRess as it doesn't like to act nice with many premium themes that I use, but there are loads that do support it such as yoothemes etc.
    I use Mingle forums which is just a basic forum with the same layout as a vBulletin forum.
    Unfortunately that doesn't have the features you need such as paid subscribers etc

    Thanks very much for the info. Hopefully BBPress will do the trick.
    Have a great day.
