I am trying to change the theme on my forum and have tried downloading different themes but they always seem to save as tlp which no idea what it means..also I have looked for the location of where the forum would be in my c:drive so that I could check the themes/templates but have not found anything..then I went to a website where it was supposed to offer something but there is no such site or maybe I looked it up wrong http://www.your-domain/phpBB2/templates/ this is the link that I waas given the site I got that from was http://www.phpbb-design.com/ am I even going in the right direction?

Re: forum themes
Your forum files are on the web server. Do you know how to connect to the server through ftp? (Forgive me for a simple question, but it's best to start with the basics.)

Re: forum themes
Okay. Open Blue Voda. At the top of the screen, click tools then ftp manager. You'll see a pop up - enter the same details you use to publish your pages and click connect.
Once connected, you'll see file lists on the left and right of your screen. The files on the left are the BV folder in the My Documents area on your pc. The files on the right are on the webserver. On the right side, find public_html and double click it to open it. The files you now see are the files in the root directory of your site.
Look for the folder labeled Forum - this is where your forum's file reside. Double click to opn it, and you'll see yet another list of files. The folder you're looking for is the one marked Templates.
Before I go any further, have you found and downloaded any styles you want to use for your forum?

Once that process is finished, log into your forum's admin panel, look for Styles Admin, choose Add. You should see the style listed there and you simpy click install.

Re: forum themes
I see the problem. Whoever uploaded that thing didn't upload it inside a folder. Hang on a sec and I'll make this easier for you.
