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?

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/.....g-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.

that link I gave you on themes tells you that very thing - copy one of our theme to get started... and of course if you want to customize, you will need to change things...
as to localization, it does tell you where to put it... but it does depend on which translation you are working with...
by default, the admin and front end core localizations will go in wp-content/sp-resources/forum-language/simple-press
by default, any plugin localizations will go in wp-content/sp-resources/forum-language/sp-plugins
by default any theme localizations will go in wp-content/sp-resources/forum-language/sp-themes
I say by default, because per that code page, you could have moved them elsewhere as determined on forum - integration - storage locations...
keep in mind, that you may need core, plugin an theme localizations to get your entire site translated...

lol
what looks very easy and simple for ones are very foggy for others, I see this on my job everyday...
I sent .mo file to 3 different folders (trying to hit the right one) but did not work.. 
but that's ok for now.. I'll try it again later. Forget it.
moving on
Is that a way to hide all that "forum stats" and "members stats" information showing at the bottom of the page from the users?
number of groups, number of topics, number of members, numbers of users and etc...
Is that a way to make it only appears to me (admin)?
Offline
they are all done with template function calls... so you can either remove them or make a check for sp admin... you have the power...
in the spFoot.php template file of your sp theme... find
# Start the 'stats' section
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
sp_SectionStart('tagClass=spStatsSection', 'stats');
sp_ForumTimeZone('tagClass=spForumTimeZone', __sp('Forum Timezone: '));
sp_UserTimeZone('tagClass=spUserTimeZone', __sp('Your Timezone: '));
sp_InsertBreak();
sp_ColumnStart('tagClass=spColumnSection spLeft spOnlineStats&width=40%&height=0');
sp_OnlineStats('tagClass=spLeft', __sp('Most Users Ever Online: '), __sp('Currently Online: '), __sp('Currently Browsing this Page: '), __sp('Guest(s)'));
if (function_exists('sp_OnlinePageLink')) sp_OnlinePageLink('', __sp('See All Online Activity'));
if (function_exists('sp_ListBirthdays')) sp_ListBirthdays('tagClass=spCustomTag&spLeft', __sp('Members Birthdays'), __sp('Today'), __sp('Upcoming'));
sp_ColumnEnd();
sp_ColumnStart('tagClass=spColumnSection spRight spTopPosterStats&width=15%&height=0');
sp_TopPostersStats('tagClass=spRight', __sp('Top Posters: '));
sp_ColumnEnd();
sp_ColumnStart('tagClass=spColumnSection spRight spMembershipStats&width=20%&height=0');
sp_MembershipStats('tagClass=spRight', __sp('Member Stats: '), __sp('Members: %COUNT%'), __sp('Guest Posters: %COUNT%'), __sp('Moderators: %COUNT%'), __sp('Admins: %COUNT%'));
sp_ColumnEnd();
sp_ColumnStart('tagClass=spColumnSection spRight spForumStats&width=17%&height=0');
sp_ForumStats('tagClass=spRight', __sp('Forum Stats: '), __sp('Groups: '), __sp('Forums: '), __sp('Topics: '), __sp('Posts: '));
sp_ColumnEnd();
sp_InsertBreak();
sp_NewMembers('tagClass=spLeft spNewMembers', __sp('Newest Members: '));
sp_InsertBreak();
sp_ModsList('tagClass=spLeft spModerators', __sp('Moderators: '));
sp_InsertBreak();
sp_AdminsList('tagClass=spLeft spAdministrators', __sp('Administrators: '));
sp_SectionEnd('tagClass=spClear', 'stats');thats your stats output... if you want to check for admin, just wrap in
if ($spThisUser->admin) {
#stats stuff
}and you should be good....
as to the localization, please provide more info... what .mo file? and where did you put it? if core, did you also make the change to the wp-config.php file as the codex page says?

thanks for this code "if ($spThisUser->admin)"
awesome!

How do I manage the space between the icon and the title?
If you look up here there is a space between the "blue baloon with a paint border inside" and the "Customizing my forum layout title".
Asking this because I add an icon for my foruns but they look very close to the forum titles.
how to post pictures here?

why do you want to remove??? if its showing, you have rss feeds enabled... if you dont want rss, just disable the rss feeds and the buttons wont be shown...
but like all the other display stuff, its in a theme template file... just remove the elements you dont want... in this case, is spGroupView.php
