Anyway, to the OP, I felt a little the same way when i bought vB, thousands of settings, and i thought i would never learn it. But I now know how vbulletin works inside and out (even though i still can't really code )
I can't tell you what your doing wrong simply by your description, but as was mentioned, there have been numerous offers to help you out. degrees in IT mean nothing if the person look at it doesn't know PHP etc, or understand how vbulletin works.
Blind-eddie is a good guy, and he can help you, I'll personally vouche for him, so stop complaining about how long its taking you to learn something and accept someones help..... you don't even have to pay.... the people here are offering you FREE HELP!!
BTW you might want to check your "forum permissions" instead of your usergroups for the problem.
