Alright, building a website at the moment and started to look around but really didn't find exactly what I was looking for..I have a website purely HTML/PHP code w/ no CMSes or such..Is there any easy integrations for a forum that anybody knows of? Would rather not use PHPBB and have it separate with just a matching theme since I do plan to build a CMS in the future and would rather make it easier to have everything...sync together.
Bump?
Yea, heard of those..Use PHPBB myself, was wondering about pure integration on them, never went far on forums..just installing themselves and themes..Quote:

In general though there is no easy road. You just have to go ahead and get your hands dirty on themes and hope there isn't a lot of CSS that would be in conflict with that you have.
Yea, just decided to use PHPBB..working on how to fix it atm, using ProSilver Special Edition.. Looking around atm for everything and modding it to match my site (Going to attempt to have it pull from my header file if I can..Not familiar with how PHPBB works so any help in modding this to match mine would help :)
My experience goes only as far as phpBB2 goes, I'm still running one heavily modded one and it runs a custom template using an external file. This is only easily possible by using eXtreme Styles MOD or a similar template system (I think I have some newer lightweight one that appeared a year or two before phpBB2 support forums were fully closed).
At the moment I'm in the process upgrading to MyBB. phpBB3 just seems too cluttered to me. I've also used SMF and it doesn't cut it for me. The rest in the market doesn't answer all the needs, but MyBB is pretty good. For the moment I'm simply creating a MyBB template, but I'll eventually go deeper and do more changes. But I won't touch MyBB core files, it'll make updates too time consuming.
