With all this talk about forums, phpbb, etc. I figured it's about time I posed this question to all the wonderful geeks here on AE. :) (And I mean that lovingly, of course.)

I have a phpBB forum. I have a website. But they're sadly separated. :(

How do you integrate a forum into an existing website? Granted, I don't know much about php aside from using the "php include" command to pull HTML headers and a side menu into my main site, but how do I keep that framework and put a forum inside the main body? (Example: AfterEllen's old and new forums... the menus and layout are all from the regular site with the forum in the body)

I should mention that the forum in question was created for me by a cPanel add-on called Fantastico, so I didn't do the actual coding myself but could certainly manage some sort of "cut and paste this source code" instructions if that's what it takes. I've Googled a lot but can't even find a starting point to do it.
