Hello,

Me and a friend are starting a little clan and we're having trouble making a theme...
i've tried uploading a few themes we like (including images) but they don't seem to work.
we've also tried making our own theme, but cant seem to find a updated 1.8.1 tutorial on
how to make our own theme.

So here are my 2 Questions (sort of)

1) how can i make a theme work with 1.8.1 if the theme was made for 1.6

2) if you cant do question 1, where can i find a tutorial for 1.8.1? (I've used a tutorial before did everything he said on it but it didn't work... to find out the video was older mybb version)

Thanks in advance... I tried asking on the forums of the host but they've ignored it and answered everyone elses questions...


here is link to forums: http://centralpolicegroup.icyboards.net/
few linjs which might be of use.... the tutorial maybe written for 1.6 but the concept remains same for 1.8 as well....

also I would like to add that your hosts have a good support forums as well... you can certainly get better help there....
thanks, the 3rd link you posted looks like what im looking for, If you could aswell, is there a website i could use for Hex colours? isnt like i know them off by heart (i have very little coding knowledge)
I usually use the web inspector (right click >> inspect element) in chrome or firebug in Firefox to edit codes.. that's easier as we can see what and how it is changed....
