Want to remove a installed vB and set up again.HELP PLZ!!

[soamjena]

Hello friends,
I have a a Joomla website here, http://www.southfloridajazz.org/
And i bought a new License for vB for a forum for this Joomla site.


Then i used a Bridge and got it integrated to my Joomla site.
It was all working fine till that.
But after i installed few plugins in my vB forum via ADMIN CP of vB,the total site style got messed up and when i checked back to my forum,
http://www.southfloridajazz.org/vbulletin/index.php

Before i installed those plugins,the forum was looking so nice,as it was completely integrated to my Joomla site design,but now its back to the default style of vB forum. It was blue,but i just managed to make some colour changes to the default style files.
But really,im bored of this shit..
I really want to get my forum again integrated to my Joomla site..


Ok so here is my question,
I have installed the site here,
http://www.southfloridajazz.org/vbulletin/index.php

But since its completely messed,i want to completely remove the site at this "vbulletin" folder,and then install it again at "forum" folder. I will rename the "vbulletin" to "testvb".

So am i allowed to do this????
Kindly reply to my query.Its something urgent for me..
Help me...

Yes you are allowed to have 1 production and 1 test install according to the License Agreement (http://www.vbulletin.com/order/license_agreement.php)

Please note that the test install must be password protected.

Ok thx bro for the info...
But can you say me,why if happened??
Everything was ok till i had not installed any plugins,but when i installed 2 plugins only,the nice site turned crap to the default style..
Why it happened like this??

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Impossible to even guess based on the information provided.

Ok is it possible to install the vB forum first,then install and configure all the plugins and then bridge it into Joomla??
Can that be done??

[Marco van Herwaarden]

I don't see why not.

[soamjena]

Well,is it required that the Joomla site and the vB forum must reside in the same database??
Or can i put both in different databases??

They'd most likely need to be in the same database. But I don't know the specific requirements of the "bridge". It may be possible to put them in separate databases. It would probably just be best to try it out on a test board and see.
