Hi there
I did the Stargate Game site using the bridge by JoomlaHacks. I converted that site from Vbulletin to SMF. What I had to do was put the SMF forum to use the same database as Joomla. Then I installed the bridge into Joomla and followed the instructions. The bridge instructions are pretty good. The only thing I did "wrong" was not use version 2 of the bridge, but then again it's not hte stable version.
When you install the bridge and "patch" the index page (again instruction are included - I even think they provide a pre-patched index page to use) everything will work. In the Bridge control panel there is an option to "wrap" the forum into the Joomla design. That's how the header works.
There are a few things I need to work out. The CSS of the forum makes the writing bigger than the writing of the site. That's about the only issue I had.
I used Kevin's technozine SMF theme and changed some of the icons for that to more suit the site.
Also take a lok at their forum and look for the version 2 thread of the bridge. if you want to go with the latest version you can download it from there.
if you need any help with any of it send me a PM and I'll do what I can.
