This pretty much was a self mod, I will try to explain parts of it at a time.
The forum here is in home dir
The Home or Voting & Quizzes link above is in the root directory.
What's great about this is that it will keep you logged in as you move back and forth. I had copy & to change quite a few files. But basically the forum uses the same files as before so a upgrade shouldn't be much of a problem. I divided the index_body.tpl into to files like this
$template->pparse('bodytop');
include("whatever program I want here");
$template->pparse('bodybottom');

I will post more of it later in more details, just have a headache right now![/url]
