Do you want to include your fourm on a extrenal page?

I've never used phpbb, try:

<?php include("forum.php"); ?>

**Gavo** · 24th Feb 2010, 09:17 PM

the 1st thing i would do is upgrade to phpbb3, then edit the theme to use your header/footer.

**iMage** · 25th Feb 2010, 01:48 AM

im not interested in using phpbb3 i prefer 2
