    what cms are you using?If wordpress, you should install bbpress for a lightweight, basic forum.
    if you want a forum like dp, buy a vbulletin license for $160 or get phpbb for free.

    I just used an iframe then put the link to my forums in there. Turned out just how I wanted it to.

    Nope,

    If you want full and complete wordpress integration with a forum, use the plugin Simple Forum. It's become hugely popular and he's exceeded his bandwidth for the day but check on the web for copies of it.

    It will beat using bridges (which get very technical very fast) to create a link between your CMS and forum.
