 * Hi – I tried several plugins but I found them very hard to configure.
 * So my solution was to use the open source PHPBB (many hosts have a one click 
   installation for this very popular app) and then link to it from wordpress – 
   if you are using WP 3 and the theme support menus its easy to add an external
   link to point to the PHPBB install.

 * use BBpress, it easily fits in to your wordpress site and is hassle-free (basically).
 * Just google BBpress and the rest is simple

 * The simplest and quickest way to have a forum within your WordPress Installation
   is to use the Mingle forum plugin – [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mingle-forum/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mingle-forum/)
 * Once installed and activated you can configure all the settings within the WP
   Dashbaord.

 * Yup there are many options. I use simple:press, which I really like. bbpress 
   is good.
 * Buddypress may be a bit much for your needs, its got a lot of social networking
   aspects to it, but it also comes with a forum

 * You tried all 684 forum plugins available via the search link I gave you, and
   none of them worked?
