What do I do if I no longer want to run the forum?
You have two options if you no longer wish to manage the forum. Firstly you can hand over control of the forum to another forum member by giving them the administrator username and password.

Can I make my forum appear as part of my own website?
Yes. This can be done using iframes on your website. Insert the following HTML into your website where you want the forum to appear, and replace the #forum_url# with the actual address of your forum.
