Floris's response and yours appear to indicate that the control panel is all what one needs to create and design the site. If thats the case then thats great!!
Cud you consider looking at this site
www.7thgencivic.com ... and advising me if something like that can be achieved by using the control panel or does it require some indepth designing or working knowledge of Vbulletin.
your response will be appreciated,
Viks
