Well, here's one thing I saw that I didn't like...

<form action="../bbs/login.php"

You actually do it a couple times. The .. in the path var means, "go up one directory from where we are" and then it looks in a folder called bbs for a file called login.php. But you should be running this script from within the bbdirectory. So there should be no need for the ../bbs in your template, it should simply be...

<form action="login.php"

You're probably doing those crazy ../bbs things because you haven't put this script in the bbdirectory. If it is operating outside the vBulletin directory - then you probably shouldn't be using the vbulletin template engine but instead hardcode it in your php file. Most vBulletin styles use relative paths for their images, you'd have to ensure it uses absolute paths in the skin to make it look right if your custom php script is operating outside the bbdir.


Let's try to get a picture of your directory tree...

webroot
+bbs
---+admincp
----(etc. all of vBulletin's files)
+chat
----yourcustom.php

Does that look about right? Because that's the way it seems like from your template. This directory structure looks unnecessarily complicated...
