Welcome to TG Forums Martin.

Martin the vbulletin license fee is quite high, so I think you must have chosen carefully and probably be aware that the vBulletin theming/styling/skining community is huge - there are many place to get free and commercial skins.

You might also have missed the TG Forum Rules and Guidlines (which you received in your email on registration) about posting links to promote sites in your first post which can result in being

► Topics of conversation and spamming rules

If you are genuinely asking for suggestions about colouring your forum and not just link-dropping/spamming , why not just post a screenshot, it serves the same purpose I think.

eg;

the site isn't even active, if you checked you would of seen this, so its not excatly spam advertising now isit?

and the fact that this website has nothing to do with my site, would most possible degrade my website within the search engines?....

the only thing i asked for was colour options and opinions...? i been working with vb for many many years, an of course i could go do the usual an ask vb.org but the problem with that is then everyone else with a vb forum that sees the post an likes it will most likely use the same colours, so it wouldnt be as unique.

For some great help with color sets, you might want to check Adobe's Kuler website.

There are WAY too many quality combinations to try to identify my most preferred. Experiment with several. =)

Tried to figure out what purpose your website serves and then suddenly it struck me that maybe it has something to do with a town or village called ashford. So how about a colour theme that ties in with the ashford colours or the ashford football team or whatever popular activity team you have there. But since your website is based wholly around content and you don't have any, that's where I would focus my energy. The colour scheme isn't going to make people come back time and again, but decent, updated, vibrant content will.

I don't particularly like the lime green you've got on there at the moment, but that's just my personal preference. Reminds me of underripe apples that make your lips all pucker up.
