Dude, M$Frontpage? That is *not* a proper html editor unless you want your pages to look like something dredged up from 1996.

If you're a visually oriented person no interested in working with the code guts of files your best bet will be Adobe Dreamweaver (almost said Macromedia). You can try it free for 30 days, after which it is a bit pricey ($299 IIRC). CS3.

As link points out though - you'll need to paste the source code that program generates into the templates in vbulletin - editting vbulletin's files can't change the look of your pages (beyond seriously messing them up).

Notepad++ was mentioned and yes, I'll agree that's one of the best freeware solutions for the PC. It's only real rival in the free area is jEdit which is java based and runs on all platforms. The best PHP editor is Zend Studio, and though it has a 30 day trial it rings in at $199 to purchase. If you don't know html (and not trying to be mean here but if you are willing to use M$ Frontpage odds say you don't) none of these is going to help you at all. Dreamweaver is probably your best shot.

(( I just had a project idea - a dreamweaver module that connects to a vbulletin install's database and works with the templates File that in the stack of projects I'll never get around to doing)).
