problem with changing themes

hi folks,
I have just installed a vanilla forum. appears to be running fine with the Vanillaversion 2.0.18.4 standard theme.
however, I cannot seem to change to any other theme.
"preview" and "apply" both throw me the "bonk" page even with the pre-installed "Embed-Friendly" and "Mobile" themes.
any hints would be highly welcome,
cheers
Seb

the problem is - you have asked a question that has been answered - thousands of times before if not millions. So you wanted a hint.... here are 3 hints.
hint: look for a box on the upper right of your screen on this forum it has the label "search"
type "bonk" in the search box.
hint #2: click documentation above - then when you get to documentation search for error or bonk visually, then click on link.
hint3: post your solution here.
@peregrine... well, well... have you tried this yourself?

yes i did - it worked when I posted it to verify before I gave you the hint.
but nothing is found in searches now, no matter what you search for, a glitch - hopefully someone will resolve this
did you try hint 2? if so what were your results.
hint 4 http://www.google.com/search?q=site:vanillaforums.org:+bonk+theme
same result under documentation
on the documentation page visually locate and click on
Errors & Troubleshooting (BONK)
then you will probably find out you need to set permissions correctly on the compile directory

Found this thread and was able to fix the same issue myself thanks to your "hints" @peregrine, so thanks!
