    you can stick the xat chat in a widget.
    If you want to put it at the bottom ofthe forum where th current chat is that will require a few tricks.

    Well you have to tell us where you want it, since your using phpbb2 you have more options if you wanted it in a template as well?

    Ok,then you want to place the code in the homepage announcement.

    Admin panel>general>messages and emails>announcements

    Activate announcements = yes
    Announcements display = all pages
    Scrolling = No

    then hit save

    Now click on the green plus icon to create a new announcement,past the xat code and hit save.

    You may want to wrap the code in center tags as well.

    Code:
    <center>  YOUR XAT CODE HERE </center>
