Thank you all. Yes, we started the site less than a year ago and spent the time learning how to make it real fancy. Yes, the original default style is nice but when lots of vbulletin sites use the default style your site just looks like the rest. So you gotta spice it up with a new style.
Then I discovered the wonderful world of hacks and the amazing people that can do these. This is what can really make your forum special and different from the rest. When I go to car show events they have food, entertainment, and other fun things to do. If they had a show without this and all you saw were cars and hearing crickets although it would be nice to see the cars, it may get tiring after a while. Therefore, we designed the forum like a car event. Having the theme based on cars with lots of fun activities on the side. I lost count on the amount of hacks we put in. Oh, my ride looks like the one in our banner by the way.
Now there is one thing that is driving me nuts and I got tired of banging my head on the wall. When we upgraded from 3.08 to 3.54 part of our gallery shows those dreaded RED X's. I hate those. You can see them here where the search and quick links buttons are as well as on the upper left hand side of the pages and under the calendar for our random images. This happens in all of our styles and for the life of me I haven't been able to figure out a fix. Does anyone here know of an easy fix? If so I would be greatful for the answer.

Now I am no expert in hacks, but I am getting the hang of things. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot them to me here. Thanks again and you guys are great!
