Hello All!
I'm building a website in MySql, PHP5 and have all my functionality working. I decided to add a page that I'm calling local community, and on this page I wanted to add a bulletin board or messaging system. I ran across this software downloaded last night and see it's got some awesome out of the box functionality.

My questions:

1. I would like to embed this tool into an area of my page, I suppose using an IFrame. Any opinions about what is involved in doing that.

2. I don't see any documentation regarding the basic functionality here. For example, why does someone register with the forum if they can post a comment without registering?
Can I turn that off easily? could I turn off image uploading easily?

3. Is using Smarty(which I don't know) going to hinder me customizing this to embed in my page and match the rest of my site?

Thanks.
