Hi just joined and I'm lovin' your forum and themes IV Geo, however I have one question. When I try to make a theme some icons that i upload do not take effect, for example I upload the main thead_bg (which is for the forum bar thing) but it doesn't appear instead the original one shows up for whichever theme I'm using.

This is not allowing me to make themes which i so want to do, so any help will be much appreciated.

P.S I have this annoying problem that with my main theme the quotes and quick theme link to a different site that are in my affilates, you know how to fix this?

You need to change image url in your css.
you are currently linking to default images

for an example
default theme -> Table Headers

Code:

Background: #026CB1 url(images/thead_bg.gif) top left repeat-x;

YOUR THEME
Should be

Code:

Background: #026CB1 url(images/YOURTHEMEFOLDER/thead_bg.gif) top left repeat-x;

I don't understand your second question.
Quick theme looks fine to me http://mccabe1991.freeweb7.com/forum

Can you explain what is wrong?

hey cheers people, i will try this in a mo, yeh i fixed the quick theme thing by just taking out the affiliates. Hey IV Geo do you have any idea why my theme doesn't work on the latest IE. It comes up with the error page cannot be displayed Sad

you mean bloodline theme?

this is the reason

Code:

<!-- start: quotes -->

<html xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<body>

<div style="background-color: #efefef; color: #000000; border-top: 2px solid #d4d4d4; border-bottom: 2px solid #d4d4d4; text-align: center; margin: 10px auto; padding: 5px 20px">

    <strong>Random Quote:</strong><br />

    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure...   

</div>

</body>

</html>

<!-- end: quotes -->

You have declared these tags twice: html, body

This should look like this

Code:

<!-- start: quotes -->

<div style="background-color: #efefef; color: #000000; border-top: 2px solid #d4d4d4; border-bottom: 2px solid #d4d4d4; text-align: center; margin: 10px auto; padding: 5px 20px">

    <strong>Random Quote:</strong><br />

    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure...   

</div>

<!-- end: quotes -->

Who wrote that quote plugin? It's messing all of your themes...
