Well, you've done a great job so far of adapting my design onto this particular CMS. But there's a few things I'd suggest you do, two of them involve the header.
1. Make the red SM logo link to the home page. On a usability standpoint, it would make more sense because you're naturally attracted to it, expecting it to do something.
2. Move the "You're logged in as so and so" to the top right of the page (opposite side of the header, but still within the container boundary. At the bottom of the page is an odd place, in my opinion
3. The forum needs new post indicators of some sort. Either a color change (white for read, that yellow-ish color for unread) or a folder icon.
4. Some parts of the forum UI seem a bit unskinned; for instance, the post editor and Currently Online box could be done to look like the forum tables.
