Wow, that sounds so easy. Last person who gave me instructions suggested that I copy/paste every link by hand. Thanks for the instructions!

[sugah66]

Not a problem! I had to do the copy/paste thing with my first mood theme because I deleted the image size from the end of each line. And I spent two hours trying to figure out what the hell I was doing wrong before I finally just gave up and manually put in each link.

I'm having problems with step six, could you tell me exactly what to type? Because it won't accept what I type :(.

moodtheme_create "Name of moodtheme" "Description of moodtheme"

Make sure you have the quotes. And, obviously, you can name it whatever you want and describe it however you wish.

I hope that helps!

It didn't work! The words show up in the mood themes section but not the pics.

Here are some of my links:

moodtheme_setpic499073 2 http://photobucket.com/angry.jpg 100 56
moodtheme_setpic499073 1 http://photobucket.com/aggravated.jpg 100 56
moodtheme_setpic499073 3 http://photobucket.com/annoyed.jpg 100 56

Can you tell me where I went wrong? (it said it was not a command)

There needs to be a space between "moodtheme_setpic" and your theme ID, and also, your URL is wrong. If you're using Photobucket, it should be a lot longer. This is what mine look like:

I got it! Thank you! ^_^ Your directions were so well explained and made it really easy. Well, I had a little trouble a few times, but I've never done it and my tech-savvyness comes and goes. Your theme is amazing and I can't wait to use it. :)

Oh, good, I'm glad you found it helpful! Your first time couldn't have been any worse than my first time doing one, lol. I ended up deleting something I needed and not realizing it, spending two hours trying to figure out what I did wrong, then individually putting all the links in anyway. XD Not a fun night. But at least I learned my lesson!

[coltanheart]

Yikes. That had to have been awful. *cringe* I hate learning things the hard way.

I'm still having trouble. I saved all the files, got the six digit code, and then when I enter the stuff in the admin console TXT file into the console, it gives me this error: There is no such command 'moodtheme_twilightii'. However, twilightII is what I named my moodtheme. Help?

[sugah66]

I had to look this up, because I honestly had no idea. Apparently, they're not accepting new public mood themes right now, because of bandwidth issues ( here). I bet that's the problem.

[astronomylover]

Thanks so much. That makes me mad, though. :(

[sugah66]

Yeah, it's a little off-putting. Because, I mean, you upload your images to a different site, so it's not like it should be their bandwidth.

Ganked and credited. Thanks for the set up help. Now I know what I've been doing wrong the whole time (like everything really).
