How to download and install a new Style
1. find the style you want from the styles section or at phpbbhacks.com or elsewhere.
2. download it to your computer
3. unzip it to your computer, keeping the directory structure intact.
most zip programs have this set as default. ( you want folders and files, not just files , when it is unzipped )
4. using a ftp program, not dreamweaver, frontpage, or your hosting control panel,
upload the complete folder to the templates folder on the server.
( the same place as subSilver is found )
5. make sure that your ftp program is set to auto for upload
make sure that it is not set to change all file names to lower case.
the styles are case sensitive. subSilver is not the same as subsilver
6. go to your admin panel/ styles admin section. click on "ADD"
now on the right hand side, should be your new style.
click on "install"
How to setup your new style
If you want everyone , including yourself and including guests, to use your new style.
