Notes
Advanced Features
The ExpressionEngine Discussion Forum is a no-compromise forum, supporting advanced features, like moderators, polling, announcements, private messaging, sticky topics, image uploading, signatures, and much more. View the Discussion Forum module feature grid.Perfect Integration
A common dilemma when building an online community involves how to integrate several different software applications into one cohesive site. Typically you'll have to buy a content management system from one vendor, a discussion forum from another vendor, a commerce system from another, etc., then try to figure out how to make them talk to each other. With the ExpressionEngine Discussion forum this is no longer a problem since it integrates seamlessly within your ExpressionEngine installation. Your entire site can now share a single membership database and all resources.
Forum Themes
The Forum comes with a number of themes "out of the box" including a bare-bones developer theme that is a good starting point for creating your own theme. Please note that the Support Theme used on the ExpressionEngine.com Community forums is not available with the Discussion Forum Module.
We're running it!

Have questions?
We have dedicated sales staff to answer questions and help you evaluate if ExpressionEngine products and services are right for you. You can also post questions in our Pre-sales forum. This is a great way to get feedback from the people who use our products and services everyday.
You can try the Discussion Forum with the $10 30-day Hosted Trial
The Discussion Forum Module costs $99.95 (commercial license) and $49.95 (non-commercial license). The forum is an ExpressionEngine module, so you must be running a full version of ExpressionEngine in order to use it (the forum will not work with Core). If you have not purchased a copy of ExpressionEngine, you must do so at the time you purchase the forum.
