Just a little question.
Noticed several files with this extension.
Downloaded one and unzipped it which had a .tar file and was just wondering how you install / use the file

Illori

what exactly is the file you are trying to use? tar.gz is just an archive file.

Tar.gz is frequently used on Linux distros. Nowadays they also support Zip.

If the file is an SMF mod, simply upload it to your Forum via Package Manager, most likely it will be extracted automatically. Click the "install" button below the notification of the upload success. The system will install it for you.

Thank you. I'll give it a try

If it is a mod don't bother unzipping it. Just install with the package manager.
DO NOT pm me for support!
