Code:

<iframe src="https://ppbmwr.forumotion.com/" width="400" height="500" frameborder="0" scrolling="Yes"></iframe>

change width and heigt to your liking until you see it well on your web page, you must put it where your page allows HTML

Dear @berrybok

in which way would you like to embed the forum?

in the meantime I can add to jucarese proposal, the Forumotion external widget - which allows you to embed the "Last topics" widget

something more like the iframe snippet. I created an empty page with code segment your provided. When I tried to Log In I got the following message "ppbmwr.forumotion.com refused to connect."

You can see the web page here

I got this when I clicked the login button/link:

Firefox Can’t Open This Page

To protect your security, ppbmwr.forumotion.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window.

@berrybok I can perfectly see the frame on my side

In any case, I see that you want to embed your forum on your custom domain name. You may do that throught CNAME if you have access to your domain DNS settings, more info can be found here: https://help.forumotion.com/t7021-cname-redirect-an-extern-domain-name-that-you-own-to-your-board?highlight=CNAME

that is a Forumotion security system, which does not allow you to open security elements such as login in sites embedded by our own safety, then you must create a button that leads to your forum is the only form, or tell Firefox or the browser What do you use, open the link in a new window.

To be clear, I can also see the page fine. It's just that when I was testing functionality, I found that the Log In function didn't work.
I'll look into the suggestions that have been made. FWIW, I used microsoft edge browser, but there will be many in our group who use different browser than me. Thanks for your help.

@berrybok in any case embedding a website through frame is not a valuable solution in any case, not just for forumotion but in general. For that reason the best solution as I suggested is CNAME.

Sadly it is not something that Forumotion can solve on its side, because it is a general security measure. This type of cross-site interaction is highly non-suggested and limited by web protocols.

Hi,
If you want a website that has a forum inside it, I'd suggest using either custom HTML Pages or the inbuilt Portal system. Otherwise, I doubt Forumotion would fit your needs in such case.
