Themes By Design

I have a question...

It's going to sound really dumb and I didn't want to ask over on vb.org because some of the hack creators really talk down to you like you're the dumbest person on the planet, but I'm not a tech person so I don't know.

Okay here goes...please don't laugh at me.

I had Tulip on my site for 2 years. It's the most popular skin there and thank you for it. Now when I upgraded to 3.7.2 P1 and got the blog, naturally I felt I needed to update all of my skins so I downloaded Tulip. Now, uh, here's the dumb question:

Should I have uploaded ALL of the upload file or just the xml? When I did just the xml thinking I wouldn't have any problems, it knocked my double navbar into east jesus which I could probably fix no problem. Other than the problem I'm having of not having an "edit profile" and I can't view the "post thanks" button (but they have nothing to do with the skin problem), the skin looks good.

Aurora, you should have uploaded everything, and imported the new xml. I have updated the Tulip theme to 3.7.2. There are new images with 3.7 of course.

Please understand that anytime you install a new theme, you'll have to do the template edits for each of your hacks, if there are any, on the new theme's templates.

Hunny we were all new to this thing at one time. I can't stand people who talk to others like they are stupid. You're not stupid, you're new ;)

Amen! Everyone wants to learn more about what makes their forums tick and when people talk down to others, that process gets interrupted. When everyone shares with everyone else in a friendly manner, we all get to learn.

Peg, did you just admit to being old? :yes:

I'll just go for my coat now...
