Have you searched for your problem: yes
If so, what terms did you try: language, skin wont change
State the nature of your problem:
1 -- when i submit stories, the add a story function is in english, but after the story is up, the categories, summary, etc [not the story itself] is in german.
2 -- the skin won`t change at all, and i have more than one installed.. 😐
3 -- even though i have the option for stories to be automatically validated, i still have to validate it
i am the super admin and i`m trying to fix these problems before i open the site to other people..
Do you have a test account for us? yes

I believe this has to do with the skin you downloaded because the creator of the skin might have translated parts of it in German. I believe it's editable through the .tpls of the skin you're using. As for the skin changing, did you change it in your profile as well? Not just the site settings?
i think it`m gonna just find another skin.
but i had other skins too, when i tried to change them to default they wouldn`t change at all
and i had another person to register to see if it was just me, and she changed her skin but it wouldn`t change to anything else after she made 1 change to it.. =/
also.. my fic doesnt show up under works in progress or fanfiction, it only shows up under titles, and new stories dont show up either
In aero's header.tpl edit the German out, I've changed it here from you:
<!-- START BLOCK : header -->
<body>
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="mainContainer">
<div id="menu">{menu_content}</div>
<div id="sitename">{sitename}</div>

thanks, i`ll add that later.
do you know how to add a shoutbox to the site?
Initialize the shoutbox block in the admin control panel, and then code it into your skins. I don't know off the top of my head what you'll need to add, but there should be a readme file in the shoutbox folder that tells you what you'll need to modify.
i don`t see that option anywhere..
also i don`t see the choose a skin option on the sidebar either?
Upload the Blocks folder to your website again. It sounds like you are missing some folders. The Blocks folder should have the following folders:
categories
countdown
featured
info
linktous
login
menu
news
online
poll
random
recent
search
shoutbox
skinchange
Reupload those and you should start seeing shoutbox and skinchange in blocks when you are in Admin.

thnks, the skin change option is working now, but the shoutbox still isn`t working, you were right the folder was missing but i don`t see it showing up at all..
Just to be clear, when you go to Admin, then Blocks, shoutbox is not on the list of available blocks, even though the folder is present in the blocks directory?
You must have solved the shoutbox because I see it on your site now.
