[TrumpetMaster]

Thanks for the feedback Krahl. Could you or anyone else checking out this thread PM me or post the usernames of some people who might be willing to do something like this for $. We need to get some prices down before I pay for the vBulletin so the services area is not an option for us at this time.

Good luck!

Christian,

Were you able to retain the look and feel of your site? Or did you have to change things around? The big thing for us is retaining the main page.

So we would need someone to keep the same look and hack the vB to display the announcements, log in, and current topics in the same places.

I checked out the admin panel and it looks nice. One question. Are sub forums a hack? Or do they come with vB? I couldn't figure that out and sub forums will be very important for us.
