Dear David,

Thank you for answering to my reply.

I understand this question of work amount, and believe me, I totally support you and appreciate what you’ve done yet.

In this moment, I am using the BuddyPress plugin 1.6.1 because all the site is based on BP for a social exchanges. I didn’t choosed WP not bbPress : these came as mandatory for BuddyPress. And I had no choice at all if I want to keep the same database for all the ids and pw of all participants.
For bbPress, I had the choice inside BuddyPress to install it with one forum per group or Site Wide. You even can install the two, and on this setting screen, there is nothing telling the admin that these two options are so different. And the “classic” solution is probably the per-group forums as the Site Wide is advertised as a new possibility.
Version of bbPress is 2.1.2

For the moment, I am forbidding all the comments on new blog posts, open a topic in one of the group forums and put the link at the bottom of the blog post to go on the forum to discuss. It works and nobody is shocked.
The only problem I have is to move existing comments into a topic in a group forum, and, as I do not have your skills, I am unable to do it …
If something like that is possible in the future, I would let the comments on, and would transform it in topic only if members are positing a lot of comments (for instance, over 10). In this case, I would move comments on topics, close comments and put the link to the topic …

Thank you for what you do for all users, and opening a whole bunch of new ideas,

Michel
