If so how do you use the styles and install them.
What I tried is, I download the style>save it on my computer>import it
But I can't find it anywhere Confused

Hello.

The import feature works only with .bbtheme format. These files can be created only if an admin installed the skin on his board and exported it. Most skin creators don't use the export feature, because this keeps the URLs of the pictures, and most of the creators use their own Web space and they don't want to spend their bandwidth uselessly.

Here is the way to install a phpbb skin : https://help.forumotion.com/viewtopic.forum?t=324

ok thanks for your help, but how come you can't use the skins from phpbb directly? Is there a reason behind this?

It's because we don't have access to the forum ftp nor the template files (which determines the board's layout). There will be a possibility to modify the templates with the points management, but for now, there is still some problems, so everyone will have to wait a bit.
