Hi guys, I’ve just bought I gold membership andnow I’d like to customize my forum layout, like adding icons, balloon icons, collor changes and etc. Where do I do this?
that’s not much info to go on… most of it is just standard css… the various pages are done with template files just like a wp theme…
start here: http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/
and be sure to make your own theme rather than editing one of ours…
if you have more specific questions after reading that, come on back and we can help…
If you edit one of our sp themes, when we release an update to it, your changes will be ovewritten if you update the theme… when wp updates plugins or themes, it removes the current one before updating to the latest release… of course, you could just never update our themes, but most users update when they see the wp message that a new theme is available…
Got it.
I’ll see how I can do that because I’m totally noob in this coding world.
But tks for helping me!
Hi guys.
I’m using a simple:press theme. If I make my own theme will I lost all the groups and foruns that I have already created?
No… all your forum data is stored in the database… the theme simply controls how the data is displayed to users…
Hi guys!
I followed all the steps to creat my own theme, word by word, made all necessary changes, rename the necessary files, but my theme is not beeing shown at the Available Theme list.
????
And when I got this done I would also like to change my forum language from english to portuguese (Brazil).
So I went to localisation website and downloaded a file called spa-pt_BR but I don’t know where to put it. Which folder?
tks

Ok now my theme is in the list, but it looks terrible, no layout, just a bunch of words flying around,,, there is no structure.
oh lord…
how to make it look-alike a simple:press theme?
sorry, what are you talking about? your last post does not really give us much to go on… are you saying you created your own theme and it doesnt look right??? good descriptions of the problem really do help…
a link would be useful too…
did you follow the steps here: http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-theme/
When you creat your own theme it does not look like a simple:press theme, talking about the layout, how it looks, it looks terrible, you need to work in the overlay to make it looks good.
But it’s ok now, I just made a copy and paste from a simple:press overlay theme and now it looks like it should. 
moving foward…
I still need to find where I need to put my .mo (language) file.
this url http://codex.simple-press.com/…..alization/ does not point the exaclly folder.
