See I thought that would be a good idea. But the two skin theme/styles are completely different, one geared towards a 2 column while the other is a 4 column, for example.

Now unless I misunderstand, this is what I am looking towards accomplishing.

(consider first section loaded is 'home')
User1 comes in to the forum on the old 'default' Layout (2 column) because he uses StyleDefault for the forum. They go well together.

User2 comes in with the StyleNEW for the forum, and 'default' layout for the cms is too squished; however 'NEWdefault' layout for the cms is set up just right to make the most of the skin.

I'm not sure if this makes more or less sense. What I am getting at I hope, is to load section 'home' with the particular CMS Layout (default or NEWdefault) based on the Skin/theme/style (StyleDefault or StyleNEW) that user has set.

It may not be possible with vB's current coding scheme. Hard to say. Still trying to learn the variables and differences between 3 and 4. But figured I'd ask here to see if anyone had any ideas.

Thanks!
