never mind, i did absolutly NOTHING and its gone from ugly as hell to the nicest theme ive ever seen. no idea what happened, i guess im just damn lucky.

Problem:
I'm using the bridge with SMF 1.1 RC3 and everything works fine until i try a template that doesn't come with SMF. if i view these templates on the forum outside of Joomla! by going to the SMF directory and viewing the actual board how its originally meant to be viewed, its fine. if i use the link that opens MF in joomla, its really screwed up. now on to my question.

Question:
Could i add something to joomla that opens SMF in a frame, but retains all of the bridge functionality? if not, what else can i do? ive only found one theme for smf that suits my site, (based on HL2 DM mod Empires, so any players may see how "Ancient and Rusted" by "m3talc0re" fits with NF)

u can see what its doing on my site at: http://www.northern-union.co.nr on the forums link, and view the ok out of Joomla! forum at http://nu.idohost.com/SMF

is there an auctual installation guide for this anywhere?
