Seeking help for Beautiful Lie hack
Have tried to reach clofresh without success. The Beautiful Lie does a super-cool simulation of a Vanilla blog/forum but clofresh's brief how-to breaks. See also this error message.
Anyone willing to lend a hand - is the problem an obvious one?

In my forum, the links don't work. The settings page is just text. This is a tad inconvenient, to say the least ... for instance, I can't rechoose one of the other themes now. I've heard of lock-in but ;-).
(Of course, I was able to hardwire-connect the correct URL to the specific theme switching page so things are cool.)
The TBL theme eschews navigation tabs and therefore arranges both navigation and options together in the left panel; sensibly enough. However:
1. The settings description page 'looked' wrong because it used line breaks rather than paragraphs. The text is scrunched together. I subconsciously assumed an error somewhere ...
2. The setting options were all there under the navigational options to the left but I ignored the context. Even though this user is an idiot, I am (we are) the target audience. Two small suggestions:
... Restyle the settings.php page text with paragraph breaks.
... Since all navigation and sub-navigation functions are now clustered to the left, choose some visual clue or structure to reinforce context. At a minimum, change 'Options' for Settings to 'Setting Options'. Yes, I know, the main content is all about setting options ...
I think the Vanilla default theme should also use 'Setting Options' on its settings.php page panel rather than 'Options'. I can see why Clofresh passed it through.
Nits, nothing more.
The theme works GREAT.
Any chance we could get you to include a mock-up of how you do your front.php? That would be a real time-saver for casual users. I can put mine together but it would be niftier to leverage from an example.
