Default Forum - its beyond me - I'm stymied!

Hi,
I have a page in my site reserved for a forum
http://www.sitesunion.com/man_forum.php
Please go there and see.
I began to create a forum as per the tutorials, and have gotten as far as having the top panel of a forum on http://sitesunion.com/forum/adm/
I do not want it there. I also am not able to continue, its a little beyond me.
Questions:
1. how do I get the forum into the page I want it (1st URL above)?
2. how do I remove the forum head which is in the wrong place?
3. is there someone out there who can set this up for me?
I am afraid I have watched the tutorial a few times, but to be frank, it is beyond my ability, I have only just learned how to build a beginners site.

Hoping and praying
Thank you

Hi, you cant place a forum in a page. You would link to the forums page, IE.. http://sitesunion.com/forum/

Most forums you can change the logo via the admin area of the forum.

Thank You Chris,
How do I get to work on this to put in various forum topics as sub forums?
I can only get to it via the web? Must it be imported in to blue voda?
Thanx

Hi Hans,
If you want want someone to set the forum up for you (maybe at a small fee), then you might be better off posting in this forum http://www.vodahost.com/vodatalk/vodabids-new.html

I'm sure Chris, Navaldesign, Vasili or Watdaflip would be able to assist.

The placing of a forum on to a page is possible as long as you stick to one or two guide line's, ( why u would want to is down to you ) People can still get to your forum direct or though google.

1/ use a iframe on your page wider than 800pix
2/ iframe must be scrollable
3/ don't use a skin that has a static banner wider then 800pix.
4/ don't let members post images wider than 400pix
5/ make sure that all exturnal links is set to open in new window.

A demo of this

Answer to your question two, find a suitable skin then change the header, which can usaually be found in the skins image folder.
