Hello, today I'm going to show you how to install a theme in the simplest form I can. 

First find a theme suitable for MyBB 1.8, for this tutorial I will be using 'Revolution Gaming' by @iAndrew.

1) Download the theme, open the file & extract to a place you know; I'm going to extract it to 'Desktop'
