vBulletin Purchase

dabossdaboss WP V.I.P. ''The Boss''Administrator
I just bought a copy of vBulletin at USD 160 through Worldpay. It says there that it takes 24 hours to get the order processed - even though Worldpay has taken my money - I think this policy sucks!

Also, when the credit card transaction was successful, the thank you screen appeared and that's it - no info on what to do next. Can someone here who has purchased vBulletin before tell me what to expect next? Also, if there's anything I should look out for when I install vBulletin, please let me know - would be appreciated.

P, I know this forum is based on vBulletin - any suggestions, input would be appreciated :)

By the way, I'm getting vBulletin to start a forum for my primary and high school's alumni. Should be interesting....

    thats not that bad

    my mum has a website in which she makes quite a bit each month but she has to wait 5 weeks before the money goes through worldpay before she gets it

    You should receive an email when the order has been verfied etc by them. then you can login t your account and download vb

    Yeah.. I got the email from them and have just downloaded vB 3.0.3 - will install it later.

    1. Is it difficult to install/configure?
    2. Where can I buy a good skin? My budget is around USD 50.

    1. No, its extremely easy to install...Just gotta follow the steps :)
    2. do a search on google. i forgot what the actual url's are

    I had a little look... http://www.vbmechanic.com/ comes up first, but only has 3 skins...
    http://www.extremepixels.com/skins_vb.php Looks better but they are still only about 15 skins to choose from..
    There are about 5 more at http://www.templatefreak.com/vbskins.php..

    And thats pretty much it...
    Although, thats more than I found when looking for skins for IPB... :(

    STAY AWAY FROM TEMPLATEFREAK.COM

    never ever buy vbulletin templates from them...all they send you is one html file and then youve got to create the skin yourself....its a waste of money

    Is vBulletin expensive for the stuff you get with it p in your opinion? Should i get it for my site? Or ask for it for christmas?

    Hmm... I've been to extremepixels.com before - all their skins are futuristic types. I'm looking for something professional/traditional since it's for my alumni's forum.

    If I cannot find anything suitable, I may just stick to the standard skin with the logo changed - something like what DigitalPoints look like...

    Why not just have a team change it around, Like colors.. Things like that. I would take a minimum of 3 days I would think. Post something on here asking for people to help you out. Im sure youll get some replies.

    I think vbulletin is deffinately worth it :)

    Im getting used to customizing templates in vb now. For example I managed to add a whole new side panel at www.web-master-talk.com
