Since I have entered into forum websites. I think it will be essential to learn Vbulletin (not how to use it, but how it works and be able to modify it myself and new features).

How easy is it to learn Vbulletin, is it relatively similar to creating wordpress themes? Or is this will complex and complicated.

Thanks.

Learning your way around vb is not difficult. Set up a test forum and take it apart and very soon you will get to know vb pretty well. Also have a look around this forum and vb.com. They are a gold mind of information.

As a whole it's complicated, start breaking it down and playing around with some code and it all starts becoming easy.

I started with limited php knowledge, yet I am able to modify my vbulletin setup to suit my site, with a fair amount of ease, aswell as trial and error.

As borbole said, set up a test forum and take it apart, have a look inside. Best way to learn vb customisation.

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