I know I'm very articulate when I read and install these hacks.
How come some of them install correctly and don't affect my default skin, while the others did?
While I appreciate your thoughts and advise, there are some that don't know anything like myself and don't have any problems ~ so, I'm basically concerned as to why these incidents occur some of the time, but not all of the time.
BTW ~ after I tried to install another skin and things went awry, my administrator told me that there must be a bug in vBulletin ~ could this be possible?

No, it's very rare that your problems are due to a bug in vbulletin. Your problems can be due to a number of reasons:
1.) Your installing the hacks you are having trouble with incorrectly. This isn't uncommon, and can happen just by making a single mistake on a template edit.
2.) The hack has something wrong with it. If you look at the hack thread and see people reporting the same problems you are having, then this is probably the case. If the author is actively supporting the hack, then he/she will fix the bug when the time comes.
3.) Itmay be your skin that you have installed on your board. If you skin has enough customizations to it, installing some hacks may be difficult with certain template edits.
Also, as stated already, vBulletin has no connection to Third party hacks provided here. If you experience any problems with the hack it's up to the hack author (Only if he is supporting the hack) to help you. If the author chooses not to support a hack, then it's up to you to find the solution to your problem or someone else may be able to help you in the hack thread.
