Themes, which can I use on my board?

[Kwestion]

Using the most current release of SMF -

SMF Package SMF 1.0.8

I go to themes in the SMF site, they have versions like:

1.1 RC2
1.1 RC3
1.0.6, 1.0.7, 1.1 RC2

Which can i safely and easily use on my forum? im well confused!


Can some1 explain to me what all this RC1 and RC2 business is?

and can i use themes from lower versions like 1.0.7 and 1.0.6 without too much problem?

Any themes for the 1.0-.1.0.x versions should work fine on 1.0.8

Any for me to be aware of that definately dont work?

versions i mean, not specific themes.

Thanks for the reply

Use 1.0.x themes on 1.0.x forums, and 1.1.x themes on 1.1.x forums Its very simple. Just match the numbers. If you're not sure, ask the theme's author.

ok cool, as i said im a bit of a freshman when it comes to this, and the fact that all themes were listes with only 2 digits (1.1 or 1.2 etc etc) and the boards themselves have 3 digits (1.0.8 or 1.0.6 etc etc) is enough to confuse me

Also the whole Release Candidate gumph, whats that about? lol

Im just easily confused i guess, and dont understand why so many different versions are floating around.

what is the default theme here? i dont appear to have this theme on my board? is it available?

It's called Core, and it is only in SMF 1.1 RC2 and later.
