I think you are challenging vbulletin, you cannot change the interface of your forum given by vbulletin; No matter what software do you use to change/update code.
What you can do is just can change the skin of the forum.

Hi marwan,
I don't think you can play with buttons and other things, as these elements have specific purpose and are placed(located) accordingly. Each forum softwares have their own identity and they wount allow any one to change or recode it (customised it).
