Different Skins On Different Forums

AcTiV3 · 10-14-2007, 01:35 AM

Hi, im new to this vBulletin stuff. I currently am in business with a Gaming website at Welcome to Official Combat. Now what we need is a different skin for different forums (ex. Main page skin would be default, but if you click on the call of duty page, it switchs the layout to the call of duty layout) Appreciate your time to look at this and please help me. Thanks

Just install some other styles and set that forum and it's children to use one of those styles. It's built into vBulletin. I have to warn you though, the more skins you have the more of a pain it is to upgrade.

LOL .. That's not 100% true .. it should read .. "the more template modifications you have more of a pain it is to upgrade"! Take it from me .. I only use one set templates but they are so heavily modified that it takes me forever to redo them at each major vBulletin upgrade.

That being said .. I still think it's worth it ... although I also think that there are things vBulletin can do in giving us a few more layout options tat would make it much easier. There should be plenty more options like postbit/legacy .. but at least we do have the ability to do it ourselves!
