I installed the MyBulletin skin, but the instuctions made no sense. The ReadMe file told me to:

Quote:Installation:

1. After downloading the Theme unpack it (with WinRAR for example)

2. Go to the Admin Control Panel under Themes > Import

3. Search the XML File in the theme folder and click the Button "Import Theme"

4. Upload the myBulletin folder to you image dictionary in your forum

I do not understnd step 3, I do not know what a XML file is, and for step 4, I assume it's telling me to upload a folder to the images section in my Cpanel, butI'm not sure. Could someone specifically explain this? Thanks in return.

a XML file is a file with a .xml extension. XML stands for extensible markup language, but that doesn't matter. The xml file holds the data needed to import your theme. [wiki]Admin_CP_Themes#Import[/wiki] See that for further instructions on how to import your theme. As for #4 you should use your FTP or some sort of program (like cpanel) that will allow you to transfer files into your web server. Preferably the way you uploaded MyBB to your server.
