I decided to try to use SMF for a week to see how it works, my members have decided that we should now fully switch to SMF. the problem here is that my SMF directory is testforum.svitech.net which I set my main forum directory (forum.svitech.net) to redirect to testforum.svitech.net . Now I want to switch to SMF completely and move contents of testforum to forum. When I do that however, (and change settings.php of course) it showed the forum without theme so I went into my theme options and edited directory settings and my theme showed fine except that there is no test in any tabs/buttons.

Please help, Tim

move your files to the new location, then run What is repair_settings.php? to fix your paths to the new location, do NOT touch the settings for the database.

Be aware that this MIGHT not change the paths that your custom themes use. (I'm not sure, to be honest, coz I've never done it with SMF v2.x. That IS the case with SMF v1.x, though)

I'm afraid you might have to change those, manually.

Easily done, though. :)
