kic.kicisauto.com/

try this, and click on the forum and you'll see what i mean

Everything looks all right to me. What is the specific problem and how, specifically, is this a problem with Kunena?

alright so i'm guessing you are not understanding me.

Now when you went to that page, and clicked forum, yes the forum works.

however, its not only the forum that shows but yet my page shows as well, here's 2 screen shots to explain what i want and what i have.








so when you click forum, i want the forum to be its own page, not to keep my original website which is joomla and have the forum included in the middle of it

as i'm used to there being a website, and a forum,

and what i have is a forum inside the website,

i dont now how to make this any clearer, that i know u need joomla in order for this forum to work, but i want this forum to be its own page, not to be inside of the website,

you know what forget it,


i appreciate that this is open source, and thanks to the creators i understand there's alot of time put in this, and keep up the good work.

however, its too much frustration for no reason while till now i could've just installed phpbb, thanks again and i wish you the best.

Now I understand. Yes, Kunena needs Joomla to work! Therefore you have to create the Joomla website and then you install the Joomla extension called Kunena.

This problem you are having is not really a Kunena problem, it's a website design issue that involves a bit of understanding about how Joomla works. You will probably get a lot more useful help by looking at the Joomla support forum ( forum.joomla.org ) but in very basic terms, what you probably want to do is to have a site template that (may be different from your "normal" site template) that only displays the Kunena component. You can also get some help by looking at a few good books written about Joomla.

If you don't want to spend too much time worrying about these website design issues, you might consider paying a specialist to do them for you.
