Will a style meant for vbulletin work for IPB forums?

Thanks, Jason

Jason-

While you might be able to replicate the style, even use the images, the templates will not work directly.

Okay, so if I were to use a vbulletin on a IPB board it would not look the same?

You can't use an IPB style on a vB installation directly; you'd have to manually make changes to the templates as well as update the image names and directories in order to do it.

IPB and vB call things by different names, IPB simply would not be able to use the vB templates unless you go through all of the and manually change all of the variable names (and probably some of the names of the templates too).
