Hi to all!

I'm looking for a new style for my forum and decided to open google and search for vbulletin skins.

I found several sites, including vbstyles.com. They had great styles and I decided to write them and ask some questions. That was the last week but I haven't received any response yet.

Do you know any GOOD site for buying vBulletin skins? And I mean that if I write them with some questions, I'll get a response a few days later.

Maybe I'm being too demanding but that's the kind of support that I expect when I have a pre sales question.

Thanks in advance!

EXCELLENT support!

I know what you mean about vBstyles...they stuff is nice enough, but getting a response is like pulling teeth. I'm in the process now of switching one of my skins from 'styles' to 'works'.

While checking out the various sites, please also consider CinVin vBulletin Styles (http://www.cinvin.com) as well. :)

I've just found www.ForumTemplates.com
Their stuff is very nice, and most of it free.

I've been wanting to make a sticky thread about this topic - if anyone could compile a bunch of links for me directing to style websites that would be cool. :)

Layout looks awfully similar to mine. Right down to the text.

The list should be cleaned. Some of those links don't exist anymore.

Any one know where or how I can find this template? I don't have the whole thing, just a page of it.

They don't look that similar to me...

I don't think anyone's going to get confused:confused:

Can it be purchased?

I've already PMed the admins of this site asking if it can be bought but haven't heard anything from them yet....

Actually, SaintDog released that style for vb2 couple of years ago some time after moving vbulletintemplates to vb3 and changing to the site's final style. Can't remember if he charged a nominal fee or if he gave it away, but it was definitely released. I use it myself as an alternate style on my (still vb2) board.

So while this may be a rip, it's also possible that someone used it for his/her vb2 site, then recreated it for his/her upgrade. I'd love to do it myself if/when I ever upgrade to vb3 -- many of my members looooove the style. :)

Edited to add: Actually, looking more closely at the image layout, this may be a vb2 board after all.

I also do design vbulletin skins as a freelancer, my portfolio will be available soon in my site, www.static-design.com

oooOOO!! Does that mean people can still use it? If so, do you still have a copy of that template and are willing to share?

It wasn't released freely otherwise it would have been released here or at vBulletin.com for public download. As such, redistribution isn't permitted. The style currently resides with vBulletinTemplates.com.
