Can't see forums page anymore

Hi I installed TP.

My message board is no longer visible. I tried whatever I could think up with the TP settings, and nothing shows but the welcome message.

I am just scratching my head over this.

Thanks in advance

A link to your site would help.

Peace :up:

Hii Ray,
Thanks for your kind reply. Im sorry ...just the frustration of trying this for the first time got to me a bit.
I went to search this board and found what I needed. I had to delete all of the old themes I uploaded. They were causing the probblem. My page has a skeleton's sparseness now - no graphics at all but I plan to remedy it soon by uploading some TP themes.
If someone has the same problem as I and is reading this...DELETE ALL THE SKINS AND THEMES YOU ADDED or TP will not work. Just leave the default and classic themes.
I would like to suggest that you tell people to be sure to leave SMF just as installed if they want to use TP.

By the way,did I mention.... SMF and TP really rock! We're so excited. We had a Yahoo group that we outgrew long ago.

Now on to the fun stuff.

Hi,

If any Mac OS10.4 users are out there..... easiest to go to a friend's house and upload TP onto your site on their PC. 

Wow, finally found something my Mac is NOT good for.

And dont bother asking on the Apple help board.

Hi all,

G6 -- thank you for the offer. If I can't figure this out for myself I will surely take you up on your kind offer. For the moment however want to see what I can do.If I am going to run a website, I need to get the dust bunnies out of my brain first 

The Mac vs .zip saga continues:

Tonight - now that I got TP installed, finally -- I am uploading some TP themes, and I discovered it is Safari that is unzipping the files. I downloaded. I have Firefox, too, so I downloaded the TP themes I wanted tonight using Firefox. Firefox's download manager will ASK you if you would like the file unzipped, or not. However when I tried to upload them onto my site thru the Packages Manager....this error message:

An Error Has Occurred!
The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.

I did try it a few times.

I am going to my friend's PC to do the uploads and see if that works. It is a little disappointing but I am anticipating I will not be able to use a Mac for .zip files.

The package that will work with SMF 1.1.2 you find in the installations board sticky post by IchBin.
Try that and you will be good

[lady_l]

Will-do. I tried it with the PC last night and it didn't work, so something else must be going on.

Just doublechecked... that is the version of TP that I have installed -- the package manager call is 0.971 but I uploaded it from that post.

Now what.....!! off to search again...

TIA,
