There are tons of plug-ins that you can install with Joomla to get a good, integrated forum. I would recommend that you experiment around with a few on a test site that runs the same version of Joomla as your production site before you go into full production. As a general rule, if it’s a forum, look for something that is included in Joomla rather than a bridge between Joomla and a stand-alone forum package, such as phpBB or something like that. My favorite two forums for Joomla are probably Kunena: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/communication/forum/7256 Or Agora: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/communication/forum/1891 Whatever forum package that you choose, don’t forget you’ll have to match up the template/theme…
