1. Open photoshop
2. Design the skin

There's no tutorial really to "design" the skin... just have a look at what elements should be included in a vBulletin skin by checking other skins, or the default skin even, and go from there. You don't always need someone to hold your hand so you can make a skin, try for yourself, it's not that hard.

Im just not sure what all is supposed to be on there and how to put it all together.

Im not looking for a tutorial for trying to design one but just for how to go about designing them.

Example Here

That's my .PSD of a forum skin saved as ,JPG, that's exactly what I have in Photoshop when I send the design out for coding, if that can help you in any way.

Yeah I know... I'm a little confused- you go about designing in any way you want, vBulletin will code with it like anything else, it's just smart to include all of the eements if you want a good forum...

Wait, do you mean a TEMPLATE of ELEMENTS?

I think he means the coding, anyway it is what i am looking for too.
So anyone got a tutorial or info on how to get the design (.psd) to the vbulletin, the coding process that is.

It's just like designing other layouts... You just base the layout on what a forum has like threads, posts, post bit. So on...

It's where after you get done with it that the hard part comes in
