Simplest Forum Joomla! 's simplest and easiest to use forum component. It provides a super basic interface for both users and administrators while still being useful. Simplest Forum is Joomla! 1.5's first fully native forum.

Simplest Forum 1.5.0 was released this morning along with a file attachment / upload plugin (simplestforumupload). Version 1.5.0 makes some under the hood changes to how posts are stored and makes a few bug fixes. I'd like to thank Andrew Forsberg for his helpful work on the upload plugin! I'd also like to thank Ewout Wierda for his continued ideas and suggestions!

There are both a fresh install component for 1.5.0 as well as a 1.4.2 to 1.5.0 upgrade package, so please make sure you use the correct one.
