Hello, this is my first post. I'm glad I found this community.

Earlier this year, I purchased a forum for Aussie domain name owners. It is called DNTrade.

It runs on vB 3.8.3

However I would like to modify and upgrade it to include:

1. A main website landing page with articles; tools & resources; recent forum & blog posts - plus advertising.

2. A community forum (existing) and blog (new).

The look that I want is similar to these examples:

flyingsolo.com - No 1

smallbusinessforum.com.au - No 2

This is what I need advice on please. How do I best achieve this? Do I:

1. Utilize existing vB version and have a Wordpress "bridge" for the homepage and blog.

2. Purchase new vB 4 standard version and have a Wordpress "bridge" for the homepage and blog.

3. Purchase vB 4 Publishing Suite and utilise their CMS for the homepage and blog.

I just posted a job on oDesk for this task, but that was before I knew about this forum. Once I know what is my best option to achieve the look I want, I am happy to post the job in "paid services" thread.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Ned

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
