VBulletin 3 allows for multiple templates, which you can turn off or allow users to choose... I too created a fixed width forum and got the same requests for wider screen users... in the end I just created a liquid template and use it for all users but did consider doing 2 templates, both looking the same but one being fixed width, the other liquid. I did consider doing an 'at work' template' that was very basic looking so as not to draw attention to what you had on screen at work... but never got round to doing it.

We too have member sponsors (the idea blatantly stolen from the ORG ) our sponsors have their own secondary usergroup that they get added to when they sponsor... I did consider just offering the multiple templates to sponsors as you could add that as an option for just that usergroup... but as I only ever did the liquid template I didn't bother... maybe you could do that as another bonus for org sponsors...

I really like the way VBulletin uses usergroups now... it opens up all sorts of possibilities when you start playing...
