Well the wierd thing was that it was still in the database, but the file was gone from the server. Just had to reupload the theme, but also put the original subsilver back too so we could see what was going on.

Same for me. Was still there in the DB but the file for some reason was wiped. I just had to re-upload and all was fine.

That was the only time it ever happened. Maybe something to do with a custom theme? I don't know.

I've updated many with theme options with no issues. One positive with phpBB 2 is the themes working with several other versions too.

So many SMF themes are version coded. Have not seen a issue with punBB either but have worked with very few of those.

I'm just wondering what phpBB 3 will throw into the fray with themes and such when it ever finds it's way to the light of day. lol

Perhaps Fantastico just simply deleted the forum and reinstalled a new version. That's the only answer I can think of lol

When version changes come, themes usually don't work because of new features and such.

But does it top Duke Nukem Forever?

And Vista has been firmly set for 2nd half of 2006 for quite a while now...
