Free Discussion Boards

I'm currently looking for a discussion board that runs in php and uses
a mysql datebase to integrate into my web site. I need one that will
allow me to keep my current web layout (logo at top, navigation links
to left and right, and site info at bottom or pages) by running all the
modules of the discussion board through a single php template file.

Several discussion boards have claim that they can do this by simply
adding <?php require($pathtoforum . 'index.php'); ?> or whatever, but
in the end poor formatting (ie. broken tables) ends up ruining my site.
Others use too many large images and are designed to take up 100% of
the browser width.

In the end, all I want is a simple text based discussion board that can
save usernames/passwords, will intregrate easily into a single web page
and allow me to develop a small community within my site. Is anyone
currently using one that works well?
