yet another noob question by obtruse

This has to be real simple but how do you install a theme?  I've tried uploading it to the server, and installing it from there, or uploading it from my computer to the server, and neither one works. 

What's: 

Create a copy of Default named:

really supposed to do, because it doesn't make sense to me

EDIT:

I just read this:

How do I Install new Themes?

There are two ways of doing it, but I suggest, make a new folder in your Themes directory named your theme name (eg. /Themes/Red/), secondly, copy all your new theme files to that directory, if the new theme files doesnt include certain files (eg the help files) you can just copy those files from the default theme into your theme folder.

After this enter Admin Center and go to "Theme and Layout Settings", on "Install a new theme" type in the path to your theme folder that you made (eg./home/legends/public_html/forum/Themes/red/) and press Install, after this you can enter that themes settings and change the name...etc

and it seems that i've been doing it correctly, but nothing appears after that.  Never says that it's installed or anything else.  What am I doing wrong

have you changed your view to the new theme?

link?

No that's the problem, it just refreshes the page, but doesn't show up in the themes list.  I've tried it atleast a dozen times, and can't figure it out.
