What exactly did you do when you attempted to install a new theme?

went into the new themes manager and then typed in the link www.impureflash.com/bbs/Themes/amber11r1 and then it said that it cannot be found even though it is there.

It needs to be on absolute path form..not "www" form.

When you go into "install new theme" section, you should see a long path there, ending with "Themes/". Just add "amber11rc1" to it..or your theme folder name of course. Then press install.

Well, kind of...I see that you are indeed trying to install a SMF 1.1 RC1 theme in SMF 1.0.5, that alone will give problems with it. Amber is only made for 1.1 line.

But if that is the main reason I am not sure..have you tried other themes? that are meant for 1.0.5-1.0.7?
