Cant use imported themes

when i download an phpbb theme i cannot import them to my forum. all it sais is "import ended" and nothing has changed on my forum. i know that it is probably down to me doing somthing wrong but i have tryed for quite a while now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

phbb forums and Editboards are not compatible.

The import feature can only be used on files that have been exported from other Editboards. But this method is rarely used by thee creators

ok Thanks for the help
