Where do you activate it?

   I uploaded the plugin from this site, though it does not show up in my list of available plugins to activate. How is this done?

   Thanks.

   Is it in your my-plugins folder?

   bbPress is not a WordPress plugin. If you uploaded it to wp-content/plugins it's in the wrong place. bbPress requires its own folder and then you need to go through the installation by accessing your forum online at:

   http://www.example.com/bbpress (or 'forum' if you renamed the bbpress folder to something else.)

   Thanks.

   1.) Is there an advantage to installing it on a completely separate subdomain? So something like http://forums.MyDomain.com/
   I have noticed other people doing this.

   2.) Are there any issues with integrating it with my WordPress Blog if it is on a separate subdomain?

   Thank you.

   1 - advantage to a subdomain? It's personal preference I think.

   2 - integration on a subdomain? Integration is not my strong suit so I can't say. I'm not sure it's easy to integrate in a subfolder OR subdomain.
