As it asked you to click on the text, did you do that?

If you did and it didn't help, you might try this:

If you go to Admin>Themes and layout>Theme settings, then click on the default theme, what's entered in the box labelled "This theme's directory:"?

Are the absolute paths in the other two boxes correct?

Every forum I've installed the theme directory has the domain in it, something like this:

/misc/2/user/web/somedomain.com/Themes/default

Are you sure your directory is correct?

Go to Admin > Server Settings > Database and Paths and get the contents from 'SMF directory', copy that and add  '/Themes/default' after that.  Note the uppercase T in themes, paths are case sensitive.

Thanks WillyP.   Your suggestion to sattninja worked for me too. 

I'm a newbie to this so I'm not sure why or how the problem even occurred.  Is it possible that my hosting company changed the server address without telling me or without me noticing?  I say this because when I copied the url from the Admin Server settings there was a small change in path statement and I sure hadn't changed anything there. 

In any case, thanks again WillyP!
