phpBB Themes....

[livingin]

I'd like to install a different theme on my forum but I'm not sure how to do it. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Installing phpbb themes is simple..

Inside the .zip file there should be a folder with the name of the theme.

Just ftp it up to the folder "templates" in the directory with your message board.

then in phpbb go to administration panel, on the side under "styles admin" click "add".

To ftp a file to the server:
either use ftp software or <i>Microsoft internet explorer</i> (firefox does not work with ftp at this time)

in internet explorer type ftp.(yourdomain.com) into the address bar
you will receive a message - press ok
click on file (top left)
then click on "log in as"
Type your cpanel username and password.
Go to "public_html" then to the directory of your message board.
Drag and drop the folder for the new theme to the directory templates (not the .zip file)

Hope this helps! :)

Most themes include instructions on how to install them.

You can get free themes at phpbb.com and phpbbhacks.com
