Topic: Skin/Theme doesn't seem to be working

Hi

I just installed PunBB for the first time, quite straightforward I thought (thanks for that). However, there doesn't seem to be any layout/skin/theme enabled. Everything appears in black and white without and colour. It makes no difference if I change the  Style, whatever I change it to the appearance is still the same...

Any ideas?

Thanks
Robin

Quick response ... thanks.
Clear cache where? .. in my browser? If so, I've already shut down the machine and rebooted, I had this problem on Wednesday, right after installation and it remains.

Thanks

Thanks, but no luck.

Can I just mention that I've never had a coloured style working since installation. It installed straight into a non-skin style.

Imagine it looking like this forum but without any blue anywhere, white background, black lines and black text.

Sorted, my fault (of course).

When I uploaded the files to the site I had the "convert to lowercase" option set in my FTP client. Hence the board couldn't fine "Oxygen" or Cobalt" because the files were oxygen and cobalt.

Thanks for your help.
