I'm not sure what this integrated b2 Forum's status is.
Maybe it's creator will pop in and let you know.

Optimism expects to rock :D

The blogrums really are just a mindset, blogs and forums hold very similar data, they just present it differently ;)

Thanks for the help guys.

Find a stand alone forum, and skin it to look like your site. Create a link in your menu system that will just load the forum engine outside of b2evolution. That is the way I handle such things. I have seen Swiss Army knives that weight a ton and become useless tools. Sometimes it is better to have a few separate dedicated tools that each does a job well, than one mult-purpose tool that does a lot of jobs marginally.

Long term, we should try to cascade b2evo comments. I've seen other blogs that let you reply to a comment, and it cascades the conversation on the actual skin. Adding an "Email me when comment or reply is added" would also be nice.

Hi

I did a thing i 2007, lol - long time ago - i'm sorry but today there's not that much to see, but the orig post is here, but also it's on an older ver. 1.9.2, but back then it was easy, hope it still is ;-)
