please see the sticky topics in the installation board here at tp.net.

also, please use descriptive topic titles.. "Need some help" is not descriptive.

Thanks

Sorry
I am not very good at describing what is wrong with what is going on.

I have used the installation board here at tp.net.

I have uninstalled tiny portal twice. when i reinstalled it the first time i did it the easy way, then the second time i did it the manual way. I don't have the blocks in the admin tiny portal section. That is the first problem.

Second problem is this, i can't get the forum button to on the theme that i have picked.

Second problem is this, i can't get the forum button to on the theme that i have picked.

which theme are you trying ?
if forum button do not show up, i think you should turn on TP support in Current Theme settings

I don't have the blocks in the admin tiny portal section.

If you don't have the controls for TinyPortal showing in your admin panel then your TP is not installed correctly and that's the first issue to resolve... don't worry about buttons for now.

Go to the Docs boards and read and follow the manual install how-to carefully so that all of your TP files and edits are in place.
Once thats done you may find the other issues are corrected, but if not then you can post the next question or issue.

Check these links to see if they help:

As far as creating themes, that's more for the SMF site so if you need help you should go there but...... when you are ready to make it TinyPortal compatible use this http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=6595.msg54044#msg54044 and ask questions here if you get stuck on the converting  :up:
