I am brand new to vBulletin... and, well, forum management all together. I bought vBulletin last week knowing that there were skins and mods and plugins available... I guess I didn't think that they were so version specific.

I am looking for a skin that is more of a nature style. Grass, woods, fencing, something like that. The closest I have found is a "Dash" style that I found (premium). It was pretty close to something I would like... but is not updated for 4.0.7. My forum is horse related. So the gamer themes and professional themes don't quite look right.

Anyone know of a skin like what I am looking for? Suggestions?

First of all, welcome to the forums

Check out this section for vB 4.0 styles. Not sure if you will find what you're looking for, but it might be worth a shot.

Thanks Llandy. I have been lurking here for a week... and been all over the styles, graphics, etc. Nope, haven't found the "right" one for my forum. There are some fantastic programmers here, though.. nothing against them! If I had a gamer themed forum... I would be in heaven. Or, if it were for business. just looking for an "outdoor" type theme and just haven't found one compatible for 4.0.7.

Doing a quick google search for vb 4.0 styles and templates, I've found one site that might have a style closer to what you might be looking for: http://www.bluepearl-design.com/vbulletin-skins.php

What you could do is just purchase or get one that is closest to what you are looking for and perhaps tweak it a bit to look more like the style you want. It would mean you would have to dive a little into the vBulletin software, but if you have the patience and time i don't think it will be much of a problem

Thanks again, Llandy! I didn't find anything at bluepearl that really was even close. I have been to a TON of premium skins sites and really haven't found anything... again, other than the "Dash" skin I found. I wish they had it updated! I would gladly pay for it. oh well.

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