Simply replace your entire forum theme folder with the new set:

themes/forum_themes/

The update process is now complete. You can disregard the rest of the information in this page.

If you have customized the look of your forum you will need to manually add the new template features described below.

The information below assumes you are running customized templates. If you are using the default theme there is no need to use the information below.

Due to changes in the W3’s validator, change the <html> tags from:

<html>

to:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="{lang}" lang="{lang}">

Add a closing </div> to the {if no_bulletins} conditional:

{if no_bulletins} <div class="tableCellOne"> <span class="defaultBold">{lang:message_no_bulletins}</span> </div> {/if}

Remove extraneous </h2> from “Success” and “Error” themes. Change:

<div class='profileHeadingBG'><div class="tableHeading">{lang:heading}</h2></div></div>

to:

<div class='profileHeadingBG'><div class="tableHeading">{lang:heading}</div></div>
