I have rid myself of the forum and added a phpbb forum to my server and a responsive template and it was quite easy I have it reasonably looking like the site, since the template had a great color styling panel.....
I am just linking to another domain totally with the same basic url with forum added to it from the forum tab.....total cost $17 template and I have a great looking forum now.....I really wanted xen foro it seems to be the class of the group but the cost when you are done is quite a bit.
Reading it seemed the big issue seemed to be placing it inside of dolphin for an exact look.......not merely merging databases, I only need now a tab to take them back to the dating site proper.
So...... that said, who knows how to merge the databases so they will automatically sign in, I can pay to do it......
and they are empty, so no loss or issues there.
If that is an impossibility, I have found once signed in, you go right into it from the site.
With forum membership closed I can make the profile then send them their temp password after registration and they are in.....but that might get old, so I thought I would inquire.
thanks...its not a perfect solution but seemed worth it for a better forum
I uploaded 2 shots to show you can get pretty close and that guys forum template is nice....there is space above what you see for a full photo also
