So here's the RoyalPast theme preview:
And here's my forum after installing RoyalPast:
Why are the images used in the template different? The RoyalPast in the preview has images which are textured to look 3D, while my forum's template looks very bland in comparison. I specifically chose this theme because I felt the heading and general look of the template was professional and modern, yet my forum currently looks like an out-of-date 90's forum. Why did this happen, and how do I fix it?
Possibly the images are missing from ./images/THEME_IMAGE/ folder.
What's your website's URL?

Where do I find the correct images to place in that folder? As in, I have the RoyalPast Theme downloaded, yet I see no images folder in it either. Is there a separate download for them, or are they all within the .XML Theme file?
I can't thank you enough for your help, this has been driving me crazy.
Edit: Do I have to create that /images/ folder through CPanel or is there a way to do it through the myBB Admin Control Panel?
Re-download the theme:

Extract the .zip folder and see the royal_past folder in ./Upload/images/ folder. You've to upload royal_past folder with all files and images in ./images/ folder of your forum.

Sorry I'm a complete amateur! This is the part I'm having trouble with, can you explain this part further? I have the extracted Royal_Past folder on my computer, but I'm not sure how to upload the images from it properly.
You may PM me your Cpanel login details so I could upload them for you.

As much as I appreciate that, I'm truly interested in trying to learn how this is done myself, since I have ambitious plans for the website/forum and would like to be fully capable of making additional changes in the future. If it's just a matter of uploading them onto CPanel I should be able to figure it out.
5 Minutes Later...
It worked! Thank You
I appreciate this too. Self learning is one of the best thing in the life of Webmaster IMO.
I would suggest to upload all the files and folders of ./Upload/ folder in your forum's ROOT. This is slightly different of what I told previously. Forum's root is the folder where you've installed your forum.
