TechnoDragon,
I have to apologize; I got so busy with this project {
Stand Down} that everything else became secondary for quite a while.
I think my original problem as posted here was just the difference between 1.07 and the 1.1RC's. Plus I was switching over to three new servers and four new domains, it got quite hectic.
I don't see too many problems anymore, checking the forum logs regularly.
One thing, overall, with SMF, is that if you put the theme in a directory you create, then it generally misses some images and other stuff.
I'm rechecking all of the boards now.
