I have a small glitch "Undefined index: hello_member"

[Allen]

At the top of my default theme everything is okay, but at the top of the two themes I uploaded I get this error:

Notice: Undefined index: hello_member in /home/content/a/l/8/al85444/html/smf/Themes/Blue/index.template.php on line 155


By the way, these boards are just awesome! Great job to everyone who has worked on them.

The themes are WinterBlue and Loon Theme - Blue

I am using SMF 1.0 Beta 5 Public.

I'm afraid this is caused by using an outdated version of SMF with a newer theme.  Please upgrade.

Thank you.

I've never upgraded a forum before. I use GoDaddy as my host. Will this be fairly simple and should I close down the forum while I make the upgrade?

I am reading how to do this. I don't use an FTP, I use frontpage. Can I use frontpage to upload these files?

Possibly, but I'm afraid I can't recommend it as I don't trust Front Page.  I've heard of and seen that program screwing things up.  Feel free to try it, but if it does not work you may have to try FTP - if it is available.

Does Godaddy not offer FTP?  If they do, trust me - it's an easy thing to master.

One last thing. Should I upload the zipped folder, or upload everything unzipped (Copying over Old Files? Or does it even copy over old files?

Thanks so much for your help.

Upload everything within the zip file, overwriting the older files, yes.

Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

I am going to attempt it through Front Page and i will let you know how it turns out.

FrontPage worked just fine. I do not see the error anymore and everything looks great. It was very simple to upgrade. Thanks for your help.
