Ok i have installed the subblack theme in a fresh install of 6.8 but the forum that comes up is the SubSilver forum. When I try to add the subBlack forum it does not show up in the config styles selection. Does this theme have to be changed in some way? I see it is set up different from other themes as far as the forum goes. It works fine on 6.5.

It shouldn't show up in styles selection because styles aren't selected from there. Themes are selected by users in "Your Account" and the default theme is set in preferences. If you are trying to set it anywhere you are going to end up with errors all over your site. If you uploaded a theme for 6.5 then the theme should have gone into themes/YOUR_THEME. If you didn't put it there, then you put it in the wrong place.

The ONLY thing that should be under modules/Forums/templates is subSilver. If you have put something else in there, get rid of it.

If you uploaded the theme to themes/YOUR_THEME and the forums are still coming up subSilver, then you have uploaded the theme for 6.0, and it wont work properly for your vs. Go back to downloads and get the one for 6.5.

ok well no I didnt do anything except upload the folder into my Theme folder. Funny thing is I just deleted it and uploaded it again and now it works. Strange o well Thanks for your help tho.
