I have a question i was wondering how do i add a new theme to my message board i cant seem to figure out what file to use when i want to reskin my message board can anyone help me?
Hi, DragonKith!
First, find and download one of the nice themes here:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/
Make sure the theme supports your SMF version!!
Then, simply go to:
Admin > Themes and Layout
There you'll find "Install a New Theme".
Hit "Browse", find the fiel you just downloaded, and hit "save".
Then, go back to
Admin > Themes and Layout
You'll se two selectboxes. Choose the newly installed theme in both of them.

Thank you Nas for the help i havent used SMF in a long time i swear i am a blonde sometimes lol
Hey Nas
What file do i need to for the skin to show up in my message board?
Which file to download?
yes like
BoardIndex.template.php
index.template.php
MessageIndex.template.php
mtlogo
style
theme_info
those are the files that came with the skin i am not sure which one i used click on in the browse window
Is this issue resolved?
No need to go into any file. If you followed the instructions posted by Nascar, it should be installed successfully. Then all you have to do is go to Admin > Themes and Layout and change the theme there (either for everyone or just overall for all new members).
