As the title states, I'm currently using Volusion (www.Volusion.com) for my e-commerce site. With this, you enter your products in a database and they are automatically inserted, categorically, into a page built around a template that you can select. You have the ability to create custom articles, which essentially allow you to enter any content you want that will be inserted within the content section of the template.

If I go with vBulletin, or any forum software I guess, I would PREFER that the forums could be completely contained within the template so that my banner, navigation menus, and footer will stay in place and be updated.

I don't really know that much about web programming, especially the languages and mechanics behind forums. If anyone has any piece of info that could possibly be helpful, I would appreciate it so much, you would be saving me a lot of time.

With the template & style features of vBulletin, it should not be too difficult to adapt the looks of an existing website. You can read more about styling inour manual: Styles & Templates

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