It's smooth and unified appearance.

I also explained how to do it here http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/04/23/wordpress-com-forum-options/ and included the link to a custom menu walkthrough in it http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/08/11/wordpress-com-custom-menu-walk-through/

I just don't get what is the difference between just having a link to a forum and using the custom menu?

Why can't we just have a link, or in other words what is the benefit/purpose of using the custom menu?

Thanks!

Really, if you find hosting for a forum somewhere, anywhere, you can link to it in a Custom Menu. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

Thanks!

"Register a forum on the internet and then create a custom menu in your blog and include a custom link to the forum in it."

I do have a custom menu and links, but I don't understand why and how we need to create this to link to a forum and not just have an ordinary link listed with the other links? Would it be to list subjects?

You have three options: WordPress.com Forum Options

Basically we're looking to be able to set up a forum that we can post a new topic in and then everyone can add to it via threads.

Is it possible to do something like this on wordpress?

Thanks!
