Can I get one from freewebtemplates.com - or some site that offers templates, or do I have to use a VB template, and alter it?

If I can use a template from another site, how would I go about putting it on my forum? Or can someone link me to instructions if this is possible?

vBulletin only supports skins you (or someone else) creates using the style manager, so unless those skins come with a vbulletin supported .xml file you won't be able to use them.

You can create one to mimic them using the style manage though if you want.

Sometimes if you have a PSD file or even a general layout & design for your web page a good designer can make a vbulletin skin for you for a price. I do that with many clients all the time.

No all the designs are custom for others websites. I usually make skins to match the current site the client has. Or I can code a PSD file into a forum skin, or other scripts skins as well as taking a vbulletin skin and adapting it to something like coppermine and vice versa. There are plenty of free designs here on this site in the styles area. I have only posted a couple of designs there in that area here are the links:

I have other color variations of those two skins that I could post if you want. The generic blue I have also in red, green, & yellow and the cool mint I also have in white, yellow, & pink.
