Harken - I'm really not sure why you would get a blank page like that if all the templates are installed and installed... If you would like to set me up a temporary admin account & FTP account and PM me with the details I'll gladly take a look to see what the problem is.

Goat Boy - There may be a way you could redirect users to your myvbindex page rather than the index page, but I'm not too familiar with redirects so I'm not sure how easy that would be to do. Alternatly you could rename your original index.php file and change the places in vBulletin and it's templates that calls your index.php page. I've never had a reason to do anything like that, so I'm not sure how hard it would be.

Jacko - When you put in the path to the smilies are you putting in the full path to them (ex /forums/images/whatever.gif)?
Thanks for pointing out the PM thing. I've been meaning to put instructions for that in the readme file for a while now and have forgotten every time I made an update. To fix that you just need to look in your head_newpm template and find private.php in two places. Replace that with $bburl/private.php both times.
