Ok his is going to sound really stupid, But how do I get a forum like the ones here to work? I can get forums to work ( though not with a bridge yet but I can for the life of me get them to come up full size like this one? Can anyone help me out here I'm a litlle new to Joomla, hence the membership........

Yeah< i have just put in the new version of fireboard it works very well with community builder.  Though I did realise the swear filter made the thing crash - I turned it off and now all is dandy with it.  Though I may look at using simple machines in the future - looks very robust.
