Re: FN-FORUM: Disguising the path of a page

date posted 3rd March 2008 16:23

Haven't looked yet but you could simply put the forum into an iframe.

You're still gonna get scrolling etc depending on your settings, but
it's better than old html frames.

In the end there's no 2 ways around it, host it on your own domain is
the best option.
