Answer 1

Did you try something like:

from forum in Forums
from posts in (Posts.Where(qPosts=> forum.ForumId == qPosts.ForumId)).DefaultIfEmpty()
where posts.ParentPostID == 0
orderby forum.ForumId 
select new
{
    forum.Title,
    forum.ForumID,
    LastPostTitle = posts.Title,
    LastPostAddedDate = posts.AddedDate
}
