How come when you upgrade to nuke 6.5 the admin index still shows or show the path to the themes that you had in nuke 6.0

If I put a mod in, it still points to the old file path. the 6.5 themes that are installed it seems that the admin .tpl files are not used. Am i correct on this

any help would be appreciated

Templates are still used in 6.5 they are just in a different place. Depending on what you are adding to the forum will depend on whether you make the changes in modules/Forums/* or in themes/your theme/forums/*

Anything added to the admin cp of the forums needs to be done under the subSilver templates in modules/Forums/admin/

Does that help? I'm not sure that I completely understood your question.
