I'm also seeking to do the same. One solution is to add "website toolbox" which allows for seemless integration OR one could host a wordpress forum (there are many forum plugins available for wordpress and create a subdomain that attaches to your present site.

Good  I like this....   QUOTE.."add a new page with starter layout,  and create a new section to change a pages feel"...  the variants are limitless. Thank you 7.1..... and Paul2009

In 7.1 it's just a matter of editing the footer. Go to "edit" mode and scroll down to footer, highlight the link and edit.
