Feeling lost with VB4... please help

[Redsatyr]

My main draw to vbulletin was the easily customizable templates and using VB3 I was able to make some very original interfaces but I recently purchased VB4 and it's an up hill struggle to make even the slightest change. Where are the tables? I can't work with these walls of ul/li.

Is there some file I'm missing that contains all the parent tables so I can actually adjust their borders/widths/backgrounds/styles? Is there a guide to customizing templates somewhere because the VB4 manual is worthless, I searched under templates and it gives an example of...

<table class="tborder">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="2">My Table</td>
</tr>
$tablebits
</table>

Well that is great, I can understand that but VB4 templates look nothing like that.
