Most Forums come with a Portal that can be tweaked from ACP

Full instructions come with them how to enable and use.

Invision comes with a Portal

I'm using a skin I purchased from IBunique and altered, the portal is with the IPB package you get from Invision, its turned on inside ACP

Ours is going soon to something more user friendly but its way down my list.

Its free but I wouldn't suggest you use it, IPB was removed from CPanel so your host needs to update his scripts.

MKP is offering upgrades for phpbb, you can probably just download the upgrade for it. I am sure it includes a portal.
