Hey Chris. We just went through this a couple of weeks ago. The forum app is a great little app (thanks loads to Toby!), but the reality of our experience was that we had to do considerable tweaking. As others have already mentioned, we had to change virtually all of the pathing logic, and we also made considerable changes to the session code (we didn't want visitors--including spiders--to have to be logged in to READ the forums).
So, my advice is, brace yourself for the challenge (it'll be worth it when it's done--thanks again Toby!), and keep us posted on the list with your progress. Oh, yeah--during heavy debug sessions like this, I highly recommend turning on all the debugging options in CF admin, so that you can get as much detailed info as possible about where/when problems are occurring.
