New to vB, a few questions.

[IR15H]

Hello,

In regards to installing mods, is it important to install forum skins (and language packs) before adding mods, or does it not matter? If I install mods then add a new skin will the skin work fine with the mod without me having to do anything? Is a style how something looks (colours, fonts size etc.) and a template the layout of the actutal thing (header, borders etc.)? Will any mods for pbpBB work on vB, will it cause any problems if it's possible?

Next, i'm not sure what all the ticks on the mods means

Supported - I assmue this means that the author will provide help on the mod.

DB Changes - Changes to SQL? What does this mean if I unistall the mod, or upgrade vB?

Installer included - Most of the steps are automatic, just click through?

Uses Plugins - No idea.

Template changes - Changes something to do with the forum style? If I add a style after I add this will I need to edit the template? If I unistall/upgrade?

Additional files - I get this

The server I will install vB on is going to have mysql 5 and php 5, will this cause any problems with older mods avaliable?

As you can no doubt tell, I'm not very technical.
