Template, Style, Skin

[fengshui-123]

I am new, just install vb3 beta7. What are the different when you all say template, style, skin?

[Dean C]

A style and skin are the same. It's beyond me why everyone calls them skins these days but skins = styles and 'Styles' is the correct term in this instance :)

Thanks Mist. Then, what is style and what is template?

[Dean C]

A style is a collective term for a group of templates and replacements. Replacements are things you can add which will automatically replace text with a given string. Templates are the html which the whole of your vB are powered off :)

You'll find more information the Manual (www.vbulletin.com/manual) ;)
