Thanks. I totally forgot about reading about that when I was studying the documentation 2 months ago. (Can you tell I've only played with the Windows version up until this install on a Linux server?)
I tried your patch. It worked initially -- until the cache was cleared. Then the user was stuck on the index.php page until the admin user went back to the default theme.
Just to make sure I applied the patch correctly, I added the lines with the + in the far left column and deleted the line with the - in the far left column.
I don't know if this is significant, but in case it is: my compiler.inc file was version 1.98 (from the FUDforum 2.8.1 install) when I applied the patch to make it version 1.100. I don't know what version 1.99 is. Any way to find it easily so I can apply it, too?
I tried this every which way I could think of: unlocking the files before creating the new template based on the Path_info template, creating the new theme with that template and setting that theme as the default theme; starting over by uninstalling, reinstalling and applying the patch, then creating the new template based on the Path_info template and the new theme using that template and making that the default (current) theme. Always locks the other users out of the forum until the admin user reverts back to the default theme.
BTW, uninstalling doesn't drop the FUD28_ tables and it doesn't delete the GLOBALS.php link in the forum/adm directory, so that directory can't be deleted during the uninstallation because it isn't empty.
Thanks for your help, but the problem doesn't seem to be resolved yet.
