How do i install mods and templates on smf forum.

1.) It relly easy to install a theme.
If you just use a search it would be faster to get the answer. http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/3281/themetz5.jpg
see the XXXXX? type there your theme folder. Your theme folder must be in theme directory.
*IF you dont understand what im saying. Then you are completely nub -.-

2.) To install a mod its pretty easy ^_^ all you need to do is upload the mod folder into Package directory. Then go to admin in smf Packages and install it from there.

Files uploaded via PHP have a limit of 100KB
could make my about 200kbs to 400kb or is that a php setting by the php software.

We cannot set different php upload limit for users, its a global server setting.

Would you please consider increasing the PHP upload limit globally for all users?

100kB limit, it makes no sense in several cases, for instance, if I have taken quality pictures and wanted them uploaded to the server, as shown here
http://album.ulmb.com
but quality images are much larger in size than 100kB. There is no way I can upload them "properly". FTP is not the way to do so, if I were to be using a Gallery album like this.

Hope you can really consider, Eric (Mr. Admin).

Thank you once again, Eric.
I'm sure that would really please a great number of your members too.

Sincerely appreciate :)

I use SMF, and in the Admin panel, there is a section that allows you to install mods through it, without messing around with FTP at all, and it works fine.
