Attempting to upload my own skin as well as email template for forums.
Have a firm understanding of skin/template building.
Looked within forum_settings.ascx, forum_settings.vb and found relevant section.
Looked up on forum_settings.ascx and noticed the themes (skins) are pulling from: 
<dnnforum:templatelist id="ddlSkins" runat="server" CssClass="Forum_NormalTextBox" width="250px" AutoPostBack="False" TargetType="Folder" TargetName="Themes">

Simply uplaoding via ftp into the themes folder will add to list of themes, but doesn't load theme when saved.
So it boils down to two questions. Shouldn't be too difficult.

1.) What do I need to do to successfully import a forum skin?

2.) Where can I do the same for email template?



Feedback Appreciated,

I want to know too as well...

Actually, I need to localize e-mail templates that are send to user when post is reported... And I didn't realized yet how it could be done... Anyone?

Thx in advance =)

Email templates are managed from the Forum Admin -> Templates -> Email Templates area and are done via a RichTextEditor and a textbox (one for HTML emails, the other for text emails). This is content and therefore not static so the current templates are not 'localized'. I mean, since forum content isn't localized why would this be? Anyway, if you are looking at how to do themes I would review the theme downloads available at www.dnnforums.com.
