How do I create a reference direct to a module ex SimpleViewer from the menu with out creating a page with a link?
This Forum/website is it created with the modules that are found under Dowloads?
Finally I think found a CMS tool that realy was simple without being uslesssssss.

Hi Bigfootplc & welcome to CMSMS!
As for your second question, this forum is not using any module, but is actually just a normal installation of the Simple Machines Forum (SMF), but with a theme with the rest of the site as header and footer, so that it looks like it's part of the same site. Unfortunately there is not yet any forum module that easily and seamlessly integrates a forum into a CMSMS site.
As for the first question. Insert the module tag in the page. For example, if you have a page called "Photo Gallery", then enter Photo Gallery as title and menu text. Then in the content for that page, enter {cms_module module='simpleviewer'} or whatever the module tag syntax is. Then that will load the SimpleViewer module into the content area of the page.
You can read about how each module is used by clicking the Help link for a module in Extensions -> Modules in the Admin Panel.
Hope that helps.
