Hi,
1 Just do it the normal way. Put the forum home page on the frame you want and it will stay there most of the time. Some admin options will go to a full window but just a few. I'll search the code looking for those _top links.
Good luck,
Paco

willy, you would have to create your left navigation bar. The links are in the inc_top.asp file. And you would need to specify the "target" in each of the links so it will point to your main frame window.
For #2, that sounds like you want the Slash Mod. It allows you to put the top # of topics of your forum on your homepage. link.asp?TOPIC_ID=1660

Sure. You would need to remove the style sheets that are at the top in the inc_top.asp file. Because those would over-ride any external stylesheets. Also the font tags would over-ride the stylesheets too. Just some pointers.

Hi, I put the forum in the main frame of my site. It seems to work fine, but the jumpTo menu on the right bottom of the page keeps linking to a _top frame. I don't know how to fix. Is there a way?
Thank you and cangratulations for your job  Marco

You can edit forum.asp and at line 199 replace top.location.href with location.href
That should do it.
regards, Paco

I just downloaded and installed SNITZ on my remote web server today.
As mentioned above, just open the forum in the main body frame.
Since I run a top menu frame and a static image background, the the admin options did me no good at all.
But, because it's all ASP code, I had no problem at all... I just changed the BODY command in the inc_top.asp file to NOT use the BGcolor option and changed it to BACKGROUND=MYPIC.JPG BGPROPERTY=FIXED
I stll need to tweak the code some more to make it fit totally seemlessly into my site layout, which is unusual, but having the sorce code to play with is awesome, and I forsee no problems.
My hats off and I give the developers 2 thumbs up for providing this code for all of us webmasters running sites from their own pocketbooks.
