I have found a PHPBB3 theme I really like. I run vBulletin and would like to know if this could be ported over from phpBB3 to vBulletin.

If this can be done, I would buy the phpBB3 style and hire someone to convert it for me.

I guess I am just wondering if it's possible before I move forward and purchase a style I may not be able to use.

Thanks!
Jamie

You can actually take a php style and bring it to vbulletin. i have done it long time ago but you really need to know vbulletin well or find someone to do it that knows what they are doing.

It may not be possible to get it exactly the same but yes, you can port them to an extent, if you provide a link to the phpBB style, I could tell you how easy or hard it would be to change.

Here is the Demo of what I am looking to minic.

I would love to be able to buy the Joomla theme from them and then have my vb forum match!

It would be possible to make a vBulletin theme fit into that depending on how you interactive you expected it to be. Plenty of coders/designers would be able to manage this although it wouldn't be the easiest thing to do. It would be easier to port over forum styles to forum styles than cms styles to forum styles.

Opps, Sorry about that. Rocket theme puts out Joomla and phpBB themes.

I linked to the Joomla theme by mistake. Here is the phpBB theme I want to minic for my vBulletin install.

Yes, it would be possible to port it over. Shouldn't be hard for an experienced coder and I could pull it off myself with enough time.
