I removed your images so your personal information isn't sticking out there all naked and such. :)

You won't find any of that from the web side, which is what you're looking at when you go to the work site address and log into the forums from the front end. It's just like when you log into these forums. You're coming in at the front end.

What you need to do is use your FTP client and the FTP login information you have to log into the back end. If you need a FTP client, CoffeeCup.com has a really good client for free. It's what I use. It works great.

In the right frame of the below image is what you see when you connect using your FTP information and client. You can download any of the styles there to use as a template, edit it on your computer and then upload the renamed folder and style into the system's styles folder.

The work site system's styles folder is what you're connecting to and those are the styles currently in it. You can even make a folder for the style you're creating.

Personally, I usually download a style, rename it, then edit it to create a new style. It's easier and faster. If you do it this way, remember to rename the folder and to edit the desc.txt file.

The desc.txt file content is what shows on the drop down lists where people set their style preferences in the forums. Otherwise you won't know which of the two listed in the drop down is actually your style when you log into the forums to view your progress.



Does this help any Hon?

D,

Okay, I've never heard of or used anything like this before. LOL Alright, I've downloaded the Free File Transfer Protocol (FTP), as well as the HTML Editor...just in case. I have the FTP up, but it's all Greek to me. Also, there is another box that opened up with it called a 'Transfer Activity' box.

Can you give me step by step instructions on how to use it? And when I say step by step...treat me like a beginner who knows absolutely nothing about it. LOL I'm so sorry to be a pain in the butt. With Delphi, all I had to do was change criteria on a template that I made, and then copy/paste to install it directly into the forum's controls.

P.S. Thanks for removing the images. LOL I didn't know they had personal information on them. XD

D,

I created an account in my S-Drive. I'm not sure what that means, but I did. LOL Then it told me that I needed to create a web address, so I chose designsbymtnrose, but now it want's me to create an actual website with one of their templates. Do I do this? *Pulls hair out* I'm so confused. XD

You don't need to bother with the S Drive thing at all.

I put up a FTP tutorial over at the Information Center that should answer all your questions Hon. :)

I'll start working on the styling template tomorrow, after my appointments. :)
