I'm not sure if you had anything to do with Simple - Press now working side by side with the Reviewer Plugin, or maybe it's because I started all over again with a clean slate... at any rate, the two working together now makes Simple - Press a viable candidate for my forum needs.

Interesting. It has to be said that it could simply be a matter of ordering. This makes it sadly random of course, and therefore impossible to diagnose - but I believe you will find that WordPress does load plugins up in the order they were activated. This means that two plugins could be wanting to load, for example, the same JavaScript library. One may do it properly to the WP API and one may do it incorrectly. The one that get's it's library loaded might then be the one that got there first. Switching that order could have a different outcome. We have come across this scenario before.

Do you have images of the themes available... both the free and the membership? It would be a lot simpler to choose a head of time.

At the moment I am sorry to say we do not. This is actually under discussion here at this very moment as it is time we did do a little more in this respect. We are also, sadly, in need of a few more themes. This is also something we are working on with Reboot - the one you see running here - recently added to the stable. Mostly the 'free' themes are variants on the Default theme that is installed when Simple:Press is first set up.

Our more recent themes - like Reboot here - are also a lot easier to customise.

Also... are the icons available... and how are they installed for use?

Which icons do you mean please? If you mean the group and forum level icons then they have been specifically created for our forum here. If you want to add your own icons then under the Forums section of the Simple:Press admin menu there is the panel to upload them and then against each group and forum you can specify which ones to use for various views.

You're welcome.
