I am a designer and am looking to create a theme.
I first of all want to confirm you are still on version 1.05 of SMF, and if you had an idea of when the new version would be installed.
Secondly, how would I go about designing it, what files would I need or would I basically create the page and just add the specialized code for the boxes and such? Is it worthwhile for me to d/l SMF and work with it that way?

I'm kind of new at the whole forum thing, at least admining and designing, but I've been working with web sites for years so I should have a good grasp on the knowledge. Is there an online help guide or anything, I found few useful resources when searching the web.

Thanks very much, you guys are doing a great job!

Still using SMF 1.05 new version isn't relased yet. I don't install beta versions.  New version probably early Feb 2006. I would SMF 1.1 on the new server and then enable for signups.

For SMF 1.05 themes just download SMF.  To work on it your home comptuer you need to have at least PHP, MySQL, and a web server.  From there you can look into how the themes are made and have a better understanding of how it all works.
Only place to look for guides right now is at simplemachines.org
One tricky part about SMF themes is you have to have a little bit of knowledge of PHP.
