Ok,

you have been on the database & have downloaded a skin for use on your board & want to know how to install the skin, well follow the instructions listed below & so long as safemode isnt activated on your host you will have a board with a new skin in no time... ...

The skin you have downloaded is in a zipped format so you will need to get the file you have downloaded from the database & unzip it.

When you have unzipped the file you will have two files, a readme file & another zip file eg: Set-skinname.TAR. This zip file needs to be left as it is (THIS IS YOUR SKIN FILE TO UPLOAD).

You need to upload the zipped file into the Archive_in folder on your host.
Before trying to then install the skin please make sure you CHMOD THE Archive_in, Skins & Style_Images folders to 777.

when you have done this you will now need to go to your board, go into the Admin Control Panel into the skins & templates section.

When in this section click on 'Import Skin files' & all being well the skin that you added into the Archive_In folder will be showing to be imported in there.

If you get an error message due to having safemode set to on you will need to follow the manual skin installation instructions that can be found HERE (http://forum.nbsdesignz.com/index.php?act=ST&f=66&t=1772)
