I've installed the Snitz Personalization MOD, and my board now supports themes (I'm still tweaking the colors themselves, but the code works the way it's supposed to). I would like for my users to have the them extend outside the forum to the rest of the site. I know this means somehow accessing the database from outside. However, I don't know enough about database access. How would I go about this?

I'd have a little look at the session variables - haven't got a live install of snitz, but I'm guessing the variables are read into session on login, so you could use them from that session thereafter. If you want to do db lookups, try one of the excellent online tutorials about using ADO in ASP, or try doing a bit of copy/paste experimentation with the mod code to see how it connects/retrieves the variables from the db
