    Hey There,
    I have a heavily modified phpBB forum which indexes links. I want to use PostNuke as a mainpage for my site but want to keep my existing forums theme for the whole site, I will simply use PostNuke as a database manager and news. So my questions are: How hard would it be to use the same theme as my phpBB forum (the theme is jasidogdotcom) and can I use the same user tables from my MySQL database? Or is there an easier way around all of this, I dont want to use PNphpBB because of all the work on the forum.

    Many Thanks in Advance,
    XiN

    You'll find this difficult. Using the same theme won't be too difficult, you can just convert it to an Xanthia theme and use it on your site.

    Sharing the users database will be, since PostNuke relies on the user database being a particular format. Without substantial core changes you won't be able to share login info.
