Sure you can learn how, all it takes is time!

First and formost, most hacks and template modifications come with good install doc's. Honestly if you know how to copy/paste and read a .txt file you can install 99% of the hacks posted on this site.

The first thing you want to do is set-up a test board, this will allow you to test modifications outside of your live communitys. You can run vBulletin on your own pc with the right software, check out this thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=39482).

Secondly you need to learn how to install a hack, here is a thread that will help you with that: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=39142

Also some tips to help you upgrade your hacked copy of the software:

If you want to take it to the next level and learn how to code your own hacks, check out the following sites:

Learning php is not hard, it just takes awhile to wrap your brain around all the avaiable functions and how they work and interact with each other.

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