starting with v bulletin boards

[swamp]

Hi.. i've been using ultimate ubb threads for few yrs now but i think it is time to switch to v bulletin boards..

How much would a professional install cost.. including the mysql server set up?..

I need someone who is versed in setting up a professional looking bulletin board for my website.. however, money is a factor..

I'll also consider an independent contractor if he or she can do quality work if the price is right to do the set up and modifications.. you can email me at swamp@pivot.net

PS. sorry about the typos.. its been a long day

Professional installation costs $135, but it is simple enough to do (just editing one text file; you can always request installation at a later time, and then just upload the files).

For anything else like custom coding and skinning, post at vbulletin.org (http://www.vbulletin.org) in the request forums.

As above, the installation pricing for Jelsoft to do a professional installation is $135.00. Keep in mind, you will already need a server setup and running before they will do the installation. May just be a typo, but you will need to have MySQL, PHP and Apache running on your server before they will do the installation, as they do not offer server configuration services.
