1. The vb3 rep system is one of the best I've seen and it can be enabled in the admincp. The documentation on vb.com should explain how to do this.

3. Best way of doing this... create a new usergroup in the admincp. Its on the left hand side menu under usergroups. Note the ID #.

Give this usergroup whatever additional priveledges you like. You can also have it overide the regular user title if you like.

Next, in the postbit template (or postbit_legac) you will use template conditionals to display certain html elements if the user belongs to that usergroup. Do a search for "is_member_of"

You can also have members submit payments through paypal or other similiar systems nad it will automatically promote that user from the regular usergroup to the new usergroup for you.

4. Install vbadvance cmps. Look inthe portal subforum of vb3 for it.

6. You can search for templates in the admincp under the template and styles group.
