    Hello.  I’m working on a project that uses the forum module.  I have a theme I’m working on that will share the same look / feel as the rest of the site but have run into the issue that the forum themes will not take any embeds or ee conditionals (or structure navigation code) so I’m left to hard code everything, which is less than ideal.

    I thought I would reach out this morning to see if others have a solution / workaround to this problem.  It seems like there should be a way around this but nothing I’ve tried have I had success with.

    Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

    Hi tunnel7,

    Have you tried running your forums through regular templates?

    i have not.  Was unaware of this option.  Thanks for pointing me in this direction.  I’ll give it a shot.
