Only use old themes

As an Artisteer user with uploading problems, I uninstalled my last forum and downloaded/uploaded the newest version. I then uploaded, via an FTP program, all skins and icons into the new simple:forum folder in the themes/icons folders. When I go to my style section all of the skin and icon names show in their drop down boxes, yet if I change from "default" it goes back to my old theme (Structure Green). What's even weirder is that I used the midnight theme last time (I deleted structure green and added midnight) right before uninstalling and had it exactly how I wanted but just couldn't get the upload problem to work.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

You say "themes/icons folders"?
it should be styles/skins and styles/icons… is that what you meant?

OK – so they are in the right place and they appear in the dropdowns. So what exactly happens when you select one – walk me through what you do and what happens please.

I'm almost positive your first sentence is correct; I mean they definitely do show in the dropdowns and I placed them the same way as I did with the previous version.

 

So basically if I change the skin from anything other than default it my forum changes to the structured green skin. The icons don't seem to change either if I change it to anything.

What is the message (in the yellow box at the top) when you make the change?

And can we also check that each of these skins folders has the full set of CSS files etc uploaded into it. Yes? It sounds a little me like you may have the folders with nothing in them?

any kind of caching plugins running?

can you check in your db and see what you have in the wp_sfoptions (your prefix might not be wp_) table for an option name of sfstyle?
