    New? I just know you can change between that one and the normal one. Look at the
    bottom of the Site you will see a drop down. Has TASA and TASA2

    It's always been there Freaksa...

    As Troy says, at bottom of the page you get to choose between which one you prefer.

    I've changed the default to TASA2. TASA is still there if you prefer it.

    @Stormer: I know you can download vBulletin themes. What I would like to do is create a tropical aquarium theme.
    And I know only administrators can add it to the list. For that I'll use email to get it to them :idea:

    Ace, I suggest downloading one of the free themes, then messing with that to see what you can do. I'm afraid I don't know vbulletin well, but this is how I do it for other forums I run.
    Also, you'll need WAMP in order to view these files offline. Wish I could explain in more detail, but I'm afraid it's not easy for me to explain this lol

    yeah ^^, that's basically it. I find editing a theme to ones liking is so much easier than creating one from scratch. That's just me though... I'm lazy :p

    EDIT: oh poop, Ace, I forgot to tell you... you're going to need to install the vbulletin software in order to view what you've done :( sorry man, I only just remembered this. What you can do, is play around with the template, then when you're happy with it, send it to admin and ask them to view it. If things aren't working, they can then tell you and you can adjust as necessary.
