    Need help with a skin/layout similar to this forum

    Looking for someone who can either help with the design or point me to a pre-made skin that I can load.

    What I'm really after is anything similar to this forum (vB-FAQ), especially when it comes to colors and the profile layout in each post (postbit???). My current default style has that grey profile across the top each post, rather than justified to the left of the message. If I could just get the color scheme changed that would be a great start. I'm completely new to vB but I really don't like blue... why are most forums blue anyway?

    I can probably get my way through replacing the colors and gradient images, but then there's the buttons and postbit layout. I'm not crazy about their (vb-faq) buttons but at least they aren't blue. I spent all weekend going through styles for download here and on the other popular vB sites. I couldn't find anything close.

    Here is my forum so you can see it's current layout. I believe its almost bone stock but since I acquired it from someone who ran it for a couple years their may be some customized stuff to deal with.

    Thanks,
    Ken

    PS... the header is horrible as well, but fixing that will have to be for another post.

    Most vBulletin forums are blue because that's the stock style that comes with it.

    To change your postbit to be on the left instead of on top, go into your Admin Control Panel (ACP) and choose...

    ACP => vBulletin Options => Style & Language Settings => Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template

    ... and change it to "Yes" to have your user information on the left.
