 * Would make a very nice alternative to the clunky forum plugins, but can the inherent
   user login suffice. I’d like only registered (on the website) users to engage
   even if they are just subscribers.

 * Hi
 * Yes, that’s possible to do. You don’t have to use the front-end registration/
   log-in form – just use the default wp-login.php page.

 * So if my default WP is set to “only registered users can comment”, will that 
   be the case for this forum/board?

 * Yes, that should be the case.
 * In Settings > Discussion Board > User tab, ensure that the ‘Permitted viewer 
   roles’ and ‘Permitted poster roles’ are set to include all the roles you want
   to allow to view/post content.
 * If you don’t create a front-end log-in page with the `[discussion_board_login_form]`
   shortcode, then users will only be able to register and log-in via the default
   WP method.
 * If you need any help setting it up, just shout.

 * Thank you for your interest. If you decide to start using it, we’d love to see
   a link to a site.

 * Hello there,
 * I am trying to use your plugin and running into some problems, probably cause
   I don’t understand..
 * I created a page to display all topics, and another one to create topics. (No
   login form page, I would like to use the basic wordpress login).
    I can create
   new topics in the new “create topic” page, and then I get a link to display the
   topic. I can see the topic in the back office but it does not show on the “All
   topics” page I created, it keeps saying there are no topics at all..
 * This website is a bit special as only logged in users can see its pages + users
   are already redirected to a personnal page when logged in + pages’ visibity is
   retrained thanks to the “Simplerestrict” plugin.
 * I desactivated all my plugins, same result
    I can give you access throuh mail
   if you need it..
 * thanks for your help
 * thanks
