Hey this is working out to be a great layout. I was wondering how I could include a opening page into my forum like you did with yours so that I can involve my other site in more of a union between them instead of just a link to the outside of the forum.

It's called TinyPortal. If you want it, you'll have to ask to be on the beta testers group. Bloc is giving it freely so I'm sure you can get on.
I didn't see a Theme for the Simplicity TP?
There isn't one. I think Bloc has said he doesn't intend to make a simplicityTP theme because of the way it is created already, with columns on the right/left.
Well how can I add a front page to it then trying to keep within the same theme? ÂÃ, My members are restless and I need a refresh on the look and feel of the forum. ÂÃ, Almost willing to pay someone to do it too!

You could use the Static page mod over at SMF to accomplish the same effect.
You could try making up an index.php using the SSI code below. It works on a Non-TP SMF forum, but not on TP enabled boards (throws up all kinds of errors). Set the theme number on line 3 to your simplicity theme. Set the path to the SMF install to your own on line 5. This will bring in the header and footer of your site, with your own html in the middle (Where it says Insert your html here).
<?php
ob_start();
$ssi_theme = 4;
$ssi_layers = array('main');
require_once('smf/SSI.php');
?>
Insert your html here.
<?php
ssi_shutdown();
?>
No idea how it will work/look with simplicity, as I dont have it, sorry.
Your opening graphic is very nice.

Well thanks so much for the comp. ÂÃ, I like how clean you site is I feel all too often that mine has become very cluttered and I am looking for a way to clean it up a bit. ÂÃ, Maybe this static page is the answer?
The static page mod will be very hard to use as a front/opening page. It looks like domain/index.php?action=static&staticpage=1 and not index.php. The only way round that would be to iframe it into another page.
Ok I got a little lost just trying to make a static page coem up now what are you saying? ÂÃ, What's my solution here? ÂÃ, Should I go with another theme to use TP?
Three options for you to try.
1. The code I gave you above.
2. Create you own page iFrame it as an index page.
3. Copy your html/php to a frontpage block and use that.
