I still would like to be able to have this work. Fortunately I was able to blend the look of my web site with my forums. I don't need to put any forum island content on my main web site, but it would be nice to if I could make look right.
When I redesigned my web site over a year ago I took a concept and applied it to the main site, then I adapted it to the forums which was pretty easy. I was also able to take elements from the site and create left side islands that duplicate the left side of the main site. That is an easy way to maintain a seamless look as long as you begin the process with that in mind.
