Not really any good as it would use the subjects from the standard 'Contact us' form

I basically want to make a different kind of form that will send an email to the admin

edit the subject line then ;)

Subject line?
the settings in the standard contact form inserts the subjects available

in your vboptions, you can edit the subjects.

OK, if you don't want to start with sendmessage.php, then start with one of these - How to create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62164) or [How-To] vBulletin API Basics: Creating Custom Pages & Misc. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98009) - then google "php forms" and you can write your own without the standard subject (although why you wouldn't want to just remove that part from sendmessage.php instead, I don't know).

If you want a very easy solution then try http://jotform.com/

We use it on some of our sites. However there are plenty of good form scripts available in php etc.
