There is a slider widget how-to here in the vbulletin CMS. Take a peak at it.

I'm going to start a new project soon and will consider taking the time to do some how-to's as I go.

{vb:raw $variable} is correct. If you use it in a conditional, then it needs to meet some condition even if it is != "".

A lot of people recommend vbulletin as well. Since he is asking for advise on where to get some help with vbulletin installation then why would your answer not include an on topic response?

[reefland]
