I like it. Dark themes are not my first choice, but I like the crisp, clean lines.  :thumbup:

Manual installing TinyPortal is easy to do, you just need to follow the directions found in this Doc;  How Do I Manually Install Tiny Portal?
Take your time and read carefully as you go and it will work well.


Here's how to safely do file edits:

FileZilla
One of the better ftp utilities and it's free.
It's the only one I use.

And you'll need a good editor, here is a nice free one:
Notepad++

Any time you do anything to your forum there is one thing that you should make a very important part of your routine:
Backup... Backup... Backup!


When editing a file I generally do this;
  • Make a temp folder on my desktop...
  • Open the site with the FileZilla FTP utility...
  • Download a copy of the file in question and place it in the temp folder...
  • Then download a fresh copy into my editor and edit away...
  • Go back to the site and rename the existing online copy of the file to something else, like, filename-old.php...
  • Then upload the edited version of the file.

If everything is OK then I'm finished.
If its all messed up I just delete the bad file that was uploaded, rename the good one to the correct file name and the forum is back to normal.
