IBF cannot do this for you.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br />What chmod do i enter in ftp for the this to work?

Thomas, try temporarily setting your forum folder to 777 as well as the Skin folder. Then after it's been uploaded change them back to 755.<!--content-->
Thanks Bruce.<br />I fixed it after a while. Took a little time to figure out where to set new skin as default, but is ok now. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->
