It is perfectly possible to use PHPBB and Frontpage. I've got several
running. However, you do need to understand a little PHP, ASP isn't an
option, hence 'PHP'BB.

You need a MySQL database available, as PHPBB creates about 30 database
tables. It does support other databases, though I've never used one.

You can redesgn the pages by opening the PHP pages (as text) and looking for
the HTML components - it's quite fiddly but perfectly possible.
