After actually installing vBulletin and examining the database rows it was pulling template data from, everything became clear. As a Smarty user, I must say I still find the eval() template system odd. I'm likely going to be hacking the codebase to use Smarty and Pear DB before deploying it on my site.

Thanks for the help.

You may be rewriting half of vBulletin then because there are at least two "special" templates that I can think of that do not work like normal templates.
