    However changing the templates is tricky, I avoided trouble by only modifying the original template, when people try to shoe-horn the discuss into their own templates it seems to not work well, there have been lots of weird problems.

    I'm just going through that process now. Trying to blend the look of an Articles blog with the Discuss forum.....

      Good luck. You may want to start with wrapper.tpl and put stuff above and below this:

      </header>
      [[+trail]]
      <!-- /masthead -->
      <div class="wrapper l-center f-padinfull h-group">
      [[+content]]
      </div>

      That could put your blog (or ads for example) above or below the boards/posts or the searchbar/breadcrumbs.

      To seize the design any deeper is tough I think. Not impossible of course, just difficult.
