Hey guys,
I've been up for like 5 hours intermittently working on this...
Basically:
[Image: 7025f56c82.png]

I tried a few different things, such as reverting templates (don't ask me why, just did...)
It is a 1.6 theme, but I want to use it on 1.8. I've done this before and had no issues... Am currently running 1.8.3.

I ended up trying to make a table to fit everything around. It didn't look horrible, but you could tell I'd done it...Postbit Template:
{$ignore_bit}
<a name="pid{$post['pid']}" id="pid{$post['pid']}"></a>
<div class="post {$unapproved_shade}" style="{$post_visibility}" id="post_{$post['pid']}">
<div class="post_author">
{$ignore_bit}
<a name="pid{$post['pid']}" id="pid{$post['pid']}"></a>
<div class="post {$unapproved_shade}" style="{$post_visibility}" id="post_{$post['pid']}">
<div class="post_author">
  
  
  
<table width="100%" border="1">
  <tbody>
    <tr>
    <td width="20px" style="padding-left:5px; padding-right:5px; height: 55px; width: 55px;"><center>{$post['useravatar']}</center></td>
 <td>
    <div class="author_information">
 <strong><span class="largetext">{$post['profilelink']}</span></strong> {$post['onlinestatus']}<br />
 <span class="smalltext">
 {$post['usertitle']}<br />
 {$post['userstars']}
 {$post['groupimage']}
 </span>
      </div>
    </td>
 <td><div style="float:right;" class="author_statistics">
 {$post['user_details']}
      </div></td>
  </tr>
  </tbody>
  </table>

  <div class="post_content">
 <div class="post_head">
 {$post['posturl']}
 {$post['icon']}
 <span class="post_date">{$post['postdate']} <span class="post_edit" id="edited_by_{$post['pid']}">{$post['editedmsg']}</span></span>
 {$post['subject_extra']}
 </div></div>
    <hr>
    <br>
  <table width="100%" border="0">
    <tbody>  
   <tr>
 <div class="post_body scaleimages" id="pid_{$post['pid']}">
 {$post['message']}
 </div><br>
 {$post['attachments']}
    <br>
 {$post['signature']}
   </tr>
   <tr>
   <hr>
 <div class="post_meta" id="post_meta_{$post['pid']}">
 {$post['iplogged']}
 </div></tr>
<tr><td><div class="post_controls">
 <div class="postbit_buttons author_buttons float_left">
 {$post['button_email']}{$post['button_pm']}{$post['button_www']}{$post['button_find']}{$post['button_rep']}
 </div>
 <div class="postbit_buttons post_management_buttons float_right">
 {$post['button_edit']}
        {$post['button_quickdelete']}
        {$post['button_quickrestore']}
        {$post['button_quote']}
        {$post['button_multiquote']}
        {$post['button_report']}
        {$post['button_warn']}
        {$post['button_purgespammer']}
        {$post['button_reply_pm']}
        {$post['button_replyall_pm']}
        {$post['button_forward_pm']}
        {$post['button_delete_pm']}
 </div>
</div>
  </td></tr></tbody></table>
  <hr>
  <br>
  <br>

Converting themes can be a lot. Provide us a link.

Like nth said a link to your forum would be helpful. Have you updated your headerinclude?

Okay, so I came up with a fix for this for 1.8.3, not sure if it works for later. It probably wans't that great a discovery, but I usually go to bed ~4-6 hours ago, so.....

Firstly, after uploading the folder and installing the xml, I go into my FTP and change all the image file extensions from .gif to .png because its coded for .png yet comes with .gif :/ - including the english folder in /images
EXCEPT FOR:
background.gif
spinner.gif

You should be able to see the thread like mine in my problem above ^

Then go into AdminCP > Templates & Style > Themes > (Name of the Block & Blue Theme) > Global.css
Scroll to the bottom and paste these lines in (i ripped it from default)
.post.unapproved_post {
	background: #ffdde0;

}

.postbit_buttons a.postbit_delete_pm span {
	background-position: 0 -320px;
}

.posticons_label {
	white-space: nowrap;
}

It should look like this:

Now, when I went back to my main page, I found my circular images in the key and for each thread were missing... I remember them from before and I can see them in /images.
[Image: 131219236f.png]

I go back into my global.css for Block & Square, and pase in the following code down the bottom:

.forum_status {
	height: 30px;
	width: 30px;
	background: url(images/blockblue/forum_icon_sprite.png) no-repeat 0 0;
	display: inline-block;
}

.forum_on {
	background-position: 0 0;
}

.forum_off {
	background-position: 0 -30px;
}

.forum_offlock {
	background-position: 0 -60px;
}

.forum_offlink {
	background-position: 0 -90px;
}

.subforumicon {
	height: 10px;
	width: 10px;
	display: inline-block;
	margin: 0 5px;
/*	background: url(images/mini_status_sprite.png) no-repeat 0 0;*/
}

.subforum_minion {
	background-position: 0 0;
}

.subforum_minioff {
	background-position: 0 -10px;
}

.subforum_miniofflock {
	background-position: 0 -20px;
}

.subforum_miniofflink {
	background-position: 0 -30px;
}

- This is a bit more fiddling and a bit of image editing...
After this, I downloaded the default forum_icon_sprite.png from /images
and place in the directory in the above code: "images/blockblue/forum_icon_sprite.png"
And I edited the image, so I placed the circle images from this theme over the default ones. Then opened in photoshop and removed the white background.
Save and/or upload and you should see it.

Now, if you're like me and dislike the rounded edges. You think it makes it look too default?
Back to Templates & Style > Themes > Block & Blue > CSS3.css

At the start of the very first line, before the first character, put in /*
/*tr td.trow1:first-child,

And on the very last line, after the very last character, put in */
}*/

Then it's nice and square-edged.

Hope this helped!

The thing is, I dislike how mine is different
It looks like that ^
