Heyas

I was directed by Steve Machol from vBulletin.com to ask all pre-sale questions about modifications to this forum.

I've been considering the change from phpBB over to vBulletin. I have a couple questions I was hoping to get answered:

When adding "modifications" (hacks) is the process similar to phpBB? If not, is it easy to pick up? Is there any "examples" to get an idea of the process? I'm reading about v3.5 and the "plugin" system, which everyone seems to say is simple, but can you still install "hacks" for 3.0.X on it as well? From what I could see here, there's not a heckuva lot of modifications for 3.5.0 Beta X available yet.

Also, is adding a template considered a modification that voids support from vBulletin Support Team?

Thanks for your input!
