 Where to go about learning to code vB skins?
Hi,
I decided it's time to learn how to code vB skins, yet I don't own a license nor i know where i could find tutorials. Where do people generally learn how to code vB? Does vB site provide tutorials to those who are members?

Well coding is coding. No matter if it's a layout or a vB skin...
Am I incorrect anyone?

Yeah you are incorrect. You have to learn how to code it with vBulletin's functions and what not

Yeah, coding a vB skin means coding it in html and then implementing it into vB  And since i dont have a template i have no idea how i could learn how to code vB skins.

As i am a IPB Coder not a VB Coder i wouldnt know how to go about coding a VB Skin, im sure it will have some simalarities. CSS and HTML are required to learn, i suggest you try skinning off the backbone of the default skin.

Yeah... I guess I would have to do that. I know Css and html already so thats not a problem. I just want to learn how to modify how stuff look, etc...

Im going to publish a 'small' tutorial on editing the CSS of vbulletin, look out for it sometime in the future, so far I am around 2/3 of the way through.

If I was going to design a vB skin, I'd look around at other skins, and see what features are common through each (such as post bit, users online, latest posts, forum list, login box, menu) and then design a design implimenting those features. Then I'd work vB around this design, instead of trying to design the design into vB.

A cheap way to get a free VB is to go to VB's site and go to the demo board. Then just write down the information and when your done you can come back later and log in with that info.
