It's a little more complicated than that because of the way that b6gm6n did the side graphics on the left & the right. Essentially he modified every template that is normally displayed the full width of the page and added in the side graphics. Even though there were no color or image changes to the template it was still touched to add in the side bars.

What I did was start with a clean slate. I imported the style and then reverted all of the templates back to their defaults. I then modified the header & footer to wrap the contents of the page display inside of another table with the three columns needed. Think of a table with three columns & one row across; the left graphic border goes in the first column, the page content goes in the middle column, and then the right graphic goes in the third column.

The end result is the same as before (as far as I can see at least) but with only two template modifications instead of the dozen or so in the original XML file. That then allows anything that is using the standard header & footer template to then be wrapped inside of the border graphics so by default add-ins such vBadvanced CMPS will automatically use the side graphics. A much cleaner & easier approach.

In regards your specific problems, I know that the guys over at http://www.lssix.com got their site working with vBa so you might be able to find out from them what modifications they made to shoe-horn in the style into vBa. For your logout problem it can be eliminated by making sure that all of your logout links in your header & footer look like http://yoursite.com/forum/login.php?do=logout&u=$bbuserinfo[userid] -- The "&u=$bbuserinfo[userid]" was added in after the initial vB3 release so when the Hardwired skin was originally created it wasn't there at the time.
