Does anyone have an easy way to install a new style in phpBB? I have followed the guide on the site which basically said:

1) upload all files to templates directory
2) go into admin panel > styles admin
3) click add and then install the new style listed
4) set as default in general admin

My problem is that all has been uploaded but when I go to add in styles admin theres nothing there.

Any ideas?

I'd ditch using the styles panel. Ammend the .tpl files and css in the root phpbb folder. If you want more control with out the risk of changing the root files there is a styles extension mod on the phpbb support site that allows more control + it's pretty easy to install.

So you mean completely overwrite the default subsilver style with the new one?

Got it!

Installed that mod which went smoothly, then noticed the template had an uppercase first letter in the zip file and lower on the server. Changed it and it installed like a treat.
