Why would you want to, though? It's not 2001  | |

Also, I'm not 100% sure what the rule is on forums in iframes; probably best to wait and see what Ross says.  | |

pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: Showing a forum in an Iframe? (Fri 25th Feb 2011 at 2:34pm) | | Are you allowed? Yes. We've not put anything onto the system to stop you from doing it.
Is it recommended? No. iFrames can often cause issues with cookies and can make it difficult for users to link to a specific part of the forum. You are able to fully style the forum to match your website. | |
