Hi Folks ...

Just thinking of purchasing vBulletin for a mates site Martial Arts & Fitness centre where the forum and guestbook services provided by the Hosting Company are not up to much.

Here's a couple of questions...

1. I have had a quick look at the Admin Demo on the vBulleting home pages but I can't seem to find out how to easily change the forum overall look and feel. There are style areas, but these look really complicated. How easy is it to change the general colour scheme in vBulletin to say, the colours used in this forum? it looks like a lot of work to me?

2. Are there freely available 'templates' available that one could use to make the colours look OK?

3. What's the general amount of admin time required to maintain a BBS with say up to 100 users? I'm doing this as a favour to my mate but have not got limitless time to spend on site admin so some advice of some experts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.... :classic:

John
