We are running the most up-to-date version of vBulletin, 3.6.8, patch level 2. vBulletin 3.7 is in Beta 5 mode, so it will prolly still be several weeks / a couple months before it's released as final.

I have often thought about adding different themes to the board, so that users can change color schemes, but that will have to wait until I have more time in my personal life. Themes double the amount of work that has to be done when you edit templates (which happens for most of the mods that we install) and a lot of modifications that we currently use, as well as many that we have in the wings aren't compatible "out of the box" with themes other than the default, so that requires even more custom coding.

And when it comes to the rotating banners - you're right. We've had those same 3 ever sense we switched to vBulletin. I'll work on adding some more in the bit of free time that I do have....
