MyBB Community Forums

I have a couple of questions about the professional integration of websites and forums. What I want to do is have my main website and my forum run on the same theme (like in this site), with links to eachother in the tab-navigation. Is it possible to do this whilst still using the MyBB AdminCP, or should I work with an entirely different CMS for my main website, trying to match the theme? (Or any other suggestions you might have)

Also, not only do I want to include a login/register box on my main site, (I've already read the guide on how to do this), but I also want to include other reference like 'latest posts', 'Private Messages (New X, Unread Y, Total Z)'. Is there an easy way to do this?

I know how complex this thread is, but please help me if you can.
-Thanks, Patrick

THought about just modifying the portal?

Or are you wanting to create your own custom portal from scratch?

In doing this, would I be able to create multiple pages? Also, how can I edit the portal, typing code instead of just displaying statistics/announcements etc.?
