Hum, you're wrong with the first element...
if you need help on vBulletin, you need to go to their official support forum:
http://vbulletin.com/forum/
this site here is a site for hacking, modifications and templating, not support. and yes, sometimes it's hard to have help as a newbie, because this site is dedicated to people that are supposed to know the minimum of coding to modify a forum...
