Question How to display Kunena within Joomla template

My apologies if this is the wrong section for this question. It seems technical to me, but I may be wrong.

How, in the world, do I display my forum just like this website does - a menu item in the top menu. It makes it look like it's just another page on the website, not it's own board.

Joomla is brand-new to me, so I'm likely missing something very simple, but any help would be appreciated.

Just make a new menu link that points to your forum. Don't publish any other modules on that page. When you click on the menu link, it will send you to the forum within your template.

Couldn't be any easier - Thank you SO much!

One last question (hopefully). I've read a lot about this but not sure if I'm over thinking it. Is there a way to make it so that when people log into my website that they also are logged into Kunena?

I've read terms like "Joomla! user integration" and read about other extensions such as Community Builder and JFusion - but I really have no idea what is best or if I really need it.

The point being to avoid requiring users to sign into the site and into the message board (or hopefully any other feature I install later). The website is membership based and due to that there would be no need for me to restrict access to the forum past that.

Thanks, a lot, for all your help up to this point.
