how can you make a template like that where the forum can just pop down like that without redirecting?

They did it with Frameset.
Have you read the page source???

<frameset rows="90,*" cols="*" framespacing="0" frameborder="no" border="0">

<frame src="http://demo.dzinerstudio.com/demosite.php" name="topFrame" scrolling="no" noresize="noresize" id="topFrame" title="topFrame" />
<frame src="http://demo.dzinerstudio.com/smf/index.php" name="mainFrame" id="mainFrame" title="mainFrame" />
</frameset>

better to use AJAX then frames

[lemurina]

Why you should use AJAX.. frames are faster.. just use Javascript to change content of your lower frame and it's working

Ajax Looks good. and it is faster.

Bad information.

First, frames are deprecated. They were replaced by the <object> element or the <iframe> element. Second, frames are not any faster by any means. Not only that, they make it harder to shift variables between the frame panels. Third, you should not use frames for search engine optimization (SEO) reasons. Unless you don't mind your sites not getting indexed, then that's fine, but I personally want more visitors to my pages.

but can you really substitute frames for objects? objects work in DTD-Strict right?

Hm.. okay my mistake but I have tested my opinion and somehow frames are always faster than AJAX. Anyway, I still suggest frames.
