Just wanted to open this link although I am not sure if it is in the right place.  I'm new to using wordpress and anything else for that matter - so I thought having a forum for it might generate some ideas/problems and advice.

That's a great idea Go with SMF as it's the best free forum software you can get

SMF, not because I use it, because it is a very good script in itself. MyBB is also good but lacks behind SMF in plug ins.

I also suggest bbpress. Its wordpress official plugin and greater plugin support. I did not yet used this plugin but many of my friends suggested to use this.. I think my friends are right.

Before, I set up a WordPress blog with a phpBB forum.
I suggest using Akismet to fight spams and integrating or setting up a forum for your WordPress site. I've tried phpBB, myBB, and SMF. All of them are good. I just chose phpBB before because it has the plugin/MOD that I needed.
bbPress is okay. It's neat and lightweight but if you prefer a more powerful forum, use either of the three.

I recommend phpbb.. Its got super database of plugins. I myself use it.. Its lightweight and you can modify almost every bit using the plugins. bbpress is good but only when used in combination with wordpress. It gets integrated easily with wordpress. No need for lengthy installations.
