Well, I'm looking for some help editing the theme.
I know there's alot here, but if you can help with any/all of them...
There's a few things that need changing:
The logo: It's not an image.. apparently, how do I change it?
The editor: Shows broken images, and doesn't work.
The avatars: In the postbit, and on the homepage, avatars' dimensions are distorted.
Members online: Where it states "Members online", how can I get that to link to /online.php at the same time, like, edit the html with href links.
I'm also trying to add prostats above the bar at the bottom that directs you back to the top (#top) and nothing appears.

1. logo - header template
2. avatars fixed
3. linked members online for you
4. prostats appears from this variable
{$ps_header_index}
{$forums}
{$ps_footer_index}
{$boardstats}
you'll have to add to the index template and probably make some serious edits to it's templates so that it will work with this theme
5. As far as the editor goes you need to make sure to upload the editor files to the correct directory.. if you think you've done that then I'll do some more investigating for you

(Thank you very much, saved me so much time
But with prostats, that was the easiest way for members to see new posts, any other ideas of how they can get updates on the index about new posts/threads?
And whats with all the extra space below the #top button?
Is that prostats? (I'd like it removed if prostats can't be there with minimal work)

The theme was very difficult to make work with the animated sidebar so there's a few drawbacks.. one of which is that there has to be a minimum height set on every page so that the animated sidebar won't break the theme... so that's why you'll see extra space on pages that don't need it. It's not something I can fix unfortunately..

Allright then, thanks.
Any plugin ideas of something that can communicate new posts on the index then?

There's a few options available on mybb.com you can search for.. I haven't been online much in a few months so I can't think of them at the moment.. if you search you'll find them though.. just keep in mind a lot of plugins are made to work with the base mybb theme and this theme is so different because of its sidebar navigation so a lot of plugins may break the theme.. you'll have to do some edit to the plugin's template changes and/or make changes to the themes template to make them work
