vBulletin skins

[markblair]

I know about vbskins.com but are there any other sites out there with good selections of vBulletin skins? I'm sure there are many that any Joe could create but I'm interested in stuff similar to vbskins. I've no problem with vbskins, I just want to see what else is available.

Thanks,

I also found vbskinz.com but I'm not sure if this is just some spin-off site or if they are somewhat related. Any thoughts? I like a couple at vbskins.com but nothing that absolutely catches my eye.

Thanks,

You can check http://www.vbulletintemplates.com, and there was a site that had some free ones (some really nice ones), though I don't think it is active anymore. Sommmmmewhere I have some of the styles, but not all are complete, plus they aren't for the newest version.

Yeah, I don't mind paying for a skin/theme as long as it doesn't cost too much. The ones at vbskins.com are nicely priced but they only have a handful. Their site states three new ones will be there in a week so maybe I'll check those out. I do like a couple so far but nothing they have fits the rest of the site it will be for. Not a problem exactly but...

Thanks for the link Chicken! :)

I wouldnt interact with Ravio if I were you. (Ravio runs vbskins)

Many people have reported bad service for custom made skins. However, Im sure if you order one of the premade ones youll be fine.

Not trying to turn them down but do a search on some forums about them (iNET posted a bad thread about them in WHT)

So ya.. If I was him and got an order from iNEt interactive Id definatly do a good job.

Corey (the guy that runs it) is a good guy actually (we've talked a few times back in 2001 or something) but he's covered with projects and cant handle it (so I hear)

Anyways, just thought Id share

Yeah, that's about what I found out. I ended up getting a style from vbulletinstyles.com instead. After six days of no response to a pre-sales inquiry, I closed the ticket and told them (vbskins) to never mind. That's just plain bad business but it's their loss. I'm glad I was able to find pretty quick results when researching that company. Thanks also for the heads up. Others may need to see something like this. ;)

Yep no problem.
It's amazing how fast bad news spreads they they should understand it.

Im kinda confused about iNET and Corey though. He sold them Yaxay is memory serves me right and now they dont like each other heh. But hey, if I paid $600 and didnt get what I paid for, Id change my views on that person/company also.

Anyways, Im glad you found what you wanted ;)

Hey BannersMall, thanks for the response. Actually, I found a skin/style already for the one site I was looking for...

:D

So far the style has worked out nicely. If in need of future work, I will definitely be in contact. I already had some other work (banners) done by you and am very satisfied. ;)
