It's unclear if I selected the correct area to place this question. Never the less I'm searching for an opting that allows me to place the Google+ "link website" to my forum.. thou I've attempted to place this within a forum post, I doubt this is what Google+ is suggesting that I do..

Here is the setting.. upon creating a google+ page.. it asks if you have an external website/url that you would like to link to your page.. this is typically found on your Google+ page under the: About > Links > website.. One would enter the URL.. Then click the "link website". The following page states that I need to place this generated code within my site.. I know how to do this with any given HTML coded site.. But it's unclear where this would be located in this forum format. This is not that important, thou I would only gain the "Silver" badge sort of thing on my Google+ page indicating that the link has been verified.

I added the code to an announcement on my forum.  You can add the code any where HTML is allowed.

Thanks, well I tried that and I think because I had the HTML coding turned off within the forum.. the code didn't work at first.. but I did what you suggested and it's there now and I'm all legal.. Just waiting on the verification.
Thou I was hoping to place this in a nondescript are of the forum where as it would have been less noticeable.. but one can hardly see it now.

But while I have you here.. One other issue has cropped up.. can the forums be adjusted to allow for groupings (page/category separators)? Currently everything is simply running right down the page without any sort of separation.. I wanted to group areas/categories like Announcements in one "block" etc and General discussions in a separate block. Can this be done?

Update:

Seeing how I love to explore.. I just found what I was referring to.. the "Index Packing" was exactly what I was looking for.. this way I can split the forum up without have this one continuously long topic page.. 

To get there yourself: Admin Panel > Display > Homepage > Structure and Hierarchy > Index Packing
