Does anyone know how I can create a default theme and make it so no one can change it?
I guess i could just delete the {theme selector} right?

Yeah, you could delete {skinchange} from your skins.  And if you only have one skin anyway, then what else would they be switching to?  So I think you'd be good doing that and deleting all but the one skin from the skins folder.  They'd still get the option to pick their default theme in their profile, but if they only had one option then they really wouldn't have a choice after all.

For future reference please create your topics in the appropriate categories. And try to fill-out the Support Request Template stickied to the top of every support forum.

You could remove the skin selector from your skin, but all you have to do is delete the skins that you don't want from the /skins folder (do not delete default_tpls!) and they will not show up as options for your members. I suggest keeping at least one skin, or downloading one and modifying it to suit your needs.

You can also hide skins through your admin panel:
Admin Panel->Skins
yoursite.com/admin.php?action=skins

You can also change your default skin through your admin panel:
Admin Panel->Settings->Site Information
yoursite.com/admin.php?action=settings&sect=main

Edit: Lyndsie, you beat me to it!

Sorry about that. I'm new (just joined today) and there were so many categories to choose from.

Thanks for the info. I must've overlooked it during the initial install.  :mrgreen:

P.S. - I've searched but can't seem to find a solution to my problem. Anyone know how I can bridge to SMF 1.1.7 when the SMF database is different from the Efiction database?

What do I edit in the queries.php file?

You can't bridge SMF if it's in a different database because in order for the two scripts to share information (tables) they need to be in the same database. They also have to be in the same url for example yoursite.com/efiction and yoursite.com/forums (one can simply be the main site). But they cannot be efiction.yoursite.com and forums.yoursite.com (trust me I tried it).
