Since that's a 2.0 theme and you're using 1.1.x. That's a problem there as 2.0 themes don't install onto 1.1.x.

Change back to the default theme in your profile (or add ?theme=1 to the URL to your forums.). Uninstall that theme. Then download and install the other version of that theme.

try What is repair_settings.php? (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Repair_settings.php) but only use the part for the themes, that will reset you back to the default theme

thnks, but the server doesn't allow to upload the file.
On the server I have another SMF forum do you think that if upload the Themes folder from the other forum I will be able to solve the prob?

No, that won't work as the theme selection is in the database.

Have you tried using an FTP client?

Put the repair_settings in the forumajsp folder and run it from there.

if they will not let you modify your files i would suggest you find a new host, as that is silly and you should be able to do what you want as they are *your* files.

Also, you are not modifying a file. But rather trying to just upload one.
