Okay, BTW thanks for putting FIblue 3d up for download! I currently have Emerald 6.0 and it is using phpBBport2.0.6 from Tom's.

I want to change from the Emerald 6.0 to the FIBlue 3d 6.5. What are the steps needed so I do not loose any data? And how do how handle my current phpBBport2.0.6 from Tom's since I'm not doing an upgrade on Emerald but in fact replacing it with FIBlue 3D?

Many thanks for your time!

Well no answer. Maybe if I restate the question it might help. Can I take the FI Blue 3d theme in install it in place of my Emerald theme which is 6.0? Will this act somehow as a update for my current theme from 6.0 to the new theme FI Blue 3d which is 6.5.

The goes for my current phpBBport2.0.6 from Tom's. Do I need the special update for this to keep my data intact?

Thanks much to anyone who can help!

You can't install v6.5 themes in PHP-Nuke running v6.0

But if you want to upgrade to v6.5 and I see you use Tom's phpBBport
you must download an other sql file then the one provided with a fresh install.

this what it says @ home

Thanks so much for your reply. So if I'm reading this right, I need to upgrade my existing theme to 6.5 then I can change the theme to FI Blue 3d correct? And of course follow the instructions for the phpBBport2.0.6 from Tom's by not using the upgrade scripts.

Again, thank you for your assistance!
