Since the posts seem pretty recent, I'll go ahead and post this:

There's something weird with the installer for this theme. It created all the files, but the majority of them were 0 kb in size (which for me is what was causing the "Unable to load the 'main_above' template" error). If you have access to your forum's backend (via FTP or some other file transfer system), just unzip the zip file and manually copy all the files over. It's pretty much just the 4 or 5 files in the root and the images folder. Once I did that, the files started being the right size, and the forum started working. I'm working through some other coloring issues (the menu bar across the top appears to be white text on white background when not highlighted/selected). But I think that may be a me problem.

Hope somebody finds this useful.

This theme (Rockin' High) does appear to be Unsafe:

To make sure, I have downloaded and installed it three times (on each occasion I downloaded a fresh copy).

On the first occasion I initially applied/chose the theme on my account, without previewing it (not to be recommended with any new theme, but what can I say?).

Immediately afterwards, and on all future log-ins with that account, it causes the following error:
"Unable to load the 'main_above' template." & the account no-longer functions.

The same error was generated at the Theme Preview stage on the two later installs - and once again after choosing/applying the theme the account becomes unusable.


RECOVERY:
The account is restored to full health via access from another Admin Account (by applying a known working theme/forum default theme, to the affected account).

I am using SMF v1.1.12, without any special Mods installed.

I have had minor issues with other new themes from time2time (relating, for instance to: layout mixups, highlight focus colour, faulty hyperlinks, missing input boxes, etc.)

This, potentially has more serious consequences.

It would be safest practise to withdraw this theme at this time, until the issue is resolved.

However, do not be deterred in your work of theme creation - its a valuable service.

The theme is "safe". THe problem is the zip is corrupted. You can unzip it then zip it backup and it works. I've alerted the author. Meanwhile the theme is off the site until he responds.
