Here is maybe an interesting design. The forum can be found here:

The forum is using the Wordpress theme from here:

http://ukshopping-4u.com/electrical/content

Very easy to make the minibb use the same template. Really all you have to do is a few alterations in the minibb header and the rest in the footer. I choose to leave the minibb design alone more or less so placing the additional wordpress theme code in the footer after all the minibb code was a very quick method of redesigning.

The forum is also using the Javascript WYSIWYG Editor from here:

http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/

Incredibly easy to incorporate into the minibb. It was essential for the forum to have such an editor because I need to move other forum posts which include a lot of graphics and links. Without such an editor it involves far too much work.

I have also tweaked the design of the minibb a little such as using the menu forum link as a 'Return To Home' link in the side bar.

You can see the editor and 'Return To Home' link here:

I am using the minibb skin pierrot whitemist which has helped me to quickly 'blend' the forum into the Wordpress theme.

Hope you like it

Integrated this miniBB forum into my world chess playing site, so players can chat and get to know each other better.

Chess forum

Took quite a while because I had to merge my original player login system into miniBB's system. The avatar's and username's are setup automatically when someone registers.

Saves them having to login in twice. It worked well.

miniBB Team remark: it's not the best approach 'cause miniBB needs integrated into your current system, not your current system into miniBB... so only one users table should be used, and there would be no duplication of data anywhere. That's how miniBB integration works.

Hello.

This one is for adults only. It's not a porn site but a spoof adult news site linking to porn - you have been warned :)

There are a couple of things left to do but I'm pretty much there with the implentation. It was a pleasure working with miniBB - so easy. And I love the no-nonsense approach.

As you can see the board fits very nicely into my site's template. All I had to do is add my headed and footer code, a link to my existing stylesheets and change the width of miniBBs table. All the rest were cosmetic changes.

Here's mine http://www.britishvisitor.com/discuss/index.php?g_type=1 Website for anyone holidaying in Britain - Cheap Attraction tickets if anyone's interested! used MiniBB, then moved to phpbb. really horrible integrating it with my site (headers & footers) and keeping it up to date. Came back to miniBB and it took about an hour to install, including all the headers & footers.

Hi, I will like to know your opinion about the integration of the forum in my site . The page is in Spanish. Main Page Forum Main Honestly, not really professional layout as it could be (but still, good job for a beginner!). Despite of that, miniBB fits perfectly, as you see. Nice!

'LOOS' is a monthly dance-event at the 013-popcentre in Tilburg, The Netherlands. It's every first saturday of the month.

'Loos gaan' means something like Going out of your mind.

I had to tweak your forum to fit it in the very small yellow-area of the site.

You've got a nce forum, guys 'n'dolls! One thing though: there is a lot of html-code inside the php, that makes it hard to tweak it.
Nevertheless: I got away with very fine, if I may say so ;-)

Cheers!

Well, we really don't know where you have found a lot of HTML code inside PHP. At last, you can create new topic, and we'll discuss it there... there are some links generations inside PHP, but it's impossible to handle all PHP exclusively via templates, 'cause pages are built dynamically. Besides that, we have 95% clean PHP code. Team
