This plugin allows one to migrate another forum over, so I'm curious to see what that process involves.
and there is easy access through my main page, which is an option in my overhead menu.

I think probably best if Chris and John, if you guys become members on my site and I will make you moderators of the forum.
Hi Brian,
I signed up, and a few things jumped out:
First, I had to effectively register and/or login twice, once to your WP site, and then onto wordpress.com again. ??? Then, I get a notice along the lines of “this site requires two-factor authentication”, and please go jump through more hoops on wordpress.com to turn that on and enable it. I’m very familiar with that space, but a lot of people aren’t. While I’m all for site security, spam prevention, etc. I have to wonder if this setup is going to prevent a LOT of interested people from even completing registration. Particularly the peculiar double-login thing, which seems like a misconfiguration. It’s strange that this is harder to register and log into than any banking site I’ve used.
Next, once on the forum there’s no clear way to post images. I can’t imagine that arbitrary HTML is allowed, but there’s no guidance one way or another, and none of the toolbar icons seem useful. It’d be really nice if the successor forum lowered the bar to sharing images of our work.
