I will start by saying I am new to Vbulletin. I know very little about it. Why did I buy it? I like the idea of starting a community where people can talk on a related subject freely. I may have bit off more than I can chew but I do not want to give up on this. I have made it pretty far on getting my forum setup only I need advice and pointers on how I can make it better.

I have a few things that I would like to do to the forum and need someone willing to work with me. Any help would be appreciated.

PM for details.

Welcome to the community :up: !

I'll give you a little advice that hopefully with help you not make all the mistakes I made when I first started. (I still make mistakes but they are getting fewer and fewer)

First off I would suggest you get in the habit of becoming familiar with the vbulletin manual (https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html).

Secondly I would suggest that ANYTIME you make changes, keep a copy of the original. (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT) !!

If I can be of any help with the minor stuff, let me know. I'm decent with graphics but not very good with coding.

Also check the articles section. Even some of the older stuff can be pretty helpful.

Thank you guys! What should I learn to be able to fully customize my vbulletin forum to my liking? I would like to have a button in the header just level with the FPG logo but on the opposite side. I would like for it to say FragFest Registration but have the button hidden in the picture much like the logo is. When you click the logo it takes you back to the forum home.

****UPDATE****
I got this! Didnt take much. I am slowly becoming more familiar with how it works.
