I need to add an additional field to the "post topic" form. So I want 'title', 'post', 'tags', and one additional field. Is this possible? and if so - how?
thanks.

You can use a hook to add an input field. Your code would look something like this:
```
add_action('post_form', 'addmyinputfield');

function addmyinputfield() {
echo '<input type="text" name="mine" id="mine" />';
}
```
You would need another hook to then get the value when it's been posted. I'm not sure about this one, but I think the hook would be pre_post. Again you use it in the same way as above: add_action('hook_name', 'function_name'); There's a list of hooks here, http://bbpulp.org/wiki/API/actions if that wasn't the one you wanted. Maybe post_form_pre_post?

and you can catch this field in bb_post.php action to process the post.
