 * Hi,
 * I’ve been looking for forum software that can blog, and i came across wordpress
   and thought it was blog software that had a forum. But after installing it, I
   don’t see one.
 * Is there a forum in the default installation I’m just not seeing, or is it a 
   plug in, or can other forums work with the wordpress’ authentication such as 
   phpbb?
 * Thanks for any pointers on where to look!

 * There is forum in a default installation. [bbPress](http://bbpress.org/) has 
   been designed to integrate easily with WordPress (it’s the software powering 
   this forum), but it has very few features.
 * A lot of people, including me, have integrated many other forum applications 
   with WordPress, with various degrees of difficulty. PHPBB and Vanilla are two
   that were fairly straightforward.
