One thing I learned about updating Ikonboard is to NEVER bother. It always seems to go wrong -*somewhere*-. All we need is a new skin for every section - If I can filter out the templates manually that'd be enough. The problem is actually putting it together - But you don't need so many sub-graphics as this template, you can just use basic background colors for many of the tables. I might be updating Sectorgame to VBulletin, providing I can find an appropiate set of converters. That would make it easier.

vB=a lot better, IMHO.

as for converters, you might want to try a ikonboard-->PHPbb-->vB route, phpbb as a lot of converters.

Only reason I didn't get VB before is because the full version is pricey. I don't want no second rate garbage and I'd like to avoid illegal versions.

use PHPBB instead, it's already better then this.

Oh, Ikonboard isn't so bad, it may not look as swish as BBUlletin, but it works, though it would be nice to have a lvlshot tag, but theres not much else on HLP that I use that isn't available here

Flipside

I've run a PHPBB and can't say I rate it much IMO, nothing that warrants a changeover on the "immediate" scale.
