I have a site i have just started and would like to include a forums on it. SMF is definatley the way i want to go. The space i have to display the boards is 440 picels wide as 150 and 170 are used for left anr right colums for menus and banner ads. I used php so that i can use php includes. How can i make the forums fit in that space.
440 px! is narrow for some pages, you'll have to edit most of the template files to move menus like those in profile and pm maybe to the top of the pages above the main tables
you can check out this topic for more info about including smf in your website
