Okay, I was at Virtual Customs, bought a theme, then the troubles started. Went to install the theme but I needed a special installer. Clicked the link, got a 404 error. Went to download the extras, and they all download as "attachments.php". Whatever link I clicked, if I didn't get a 404 error, I'd get an "attachments.php" to download.

Their forums, where they say to get help, is no help. I can't even post a question because, as a noob, I don't have enough "points" to post.

This site is 6 ways of seriously messed up and I think I just wasted $4..

Hi Arelem,

Try posting in the introduction forum. That's where I first posted.

Just say say a few things about yourself and put your question in there along with it. I'm quite sure someone will help you.

It may be a while because the forum is a little slow at times, but believe me when I say that someone will help you. :)

Just tried that. Still won't let me post, said I need a minimum amount of posts to post a link. Problem is, I'm not trying to post any links.

I gave up and emailed the webmaster under the Contact Us button.

Okay, well there must be a reason for all of this.

I'm sure the webmaster is able to help. :)

Good night, (10:53 PM here!)

Mr. Grim is trustworthy, if you don't get any help, let me know and I'll PM him to look at your permissions. If that happens, let me know exactly what happens, can't post anything? No replies, etc. Screenshot of error, everything. A Guy

Its been a week and I sent a second email to the webmaster, nothing. It was a cool theme I bought, too. :-(

Is Arelem your user name there as well? I will PM Mr. Grim for you if so. Let me know exactly what happens, can't post anything? No replies, etc. Screenshot of error, everything. A Guy

Hi Guy,

Thanks for the offer, but I have finally solved the initial problem, downloading the files I needed to install the theme, that I was trying to post about. I dug further on the forum and found that the site is built in such a way that, if you use IE, everything shows up as a .php file. If you want to download stuff, you need to use Chrome or Firefox.

Such a load of horse hockey, I haven't seen that kinda BS since the days of the Netscape/IE War back in the 90s. If they are going to play those sorts of games, I won't be going back to their site, so the posting problem is moot.

Thanks again Guy for the offer to help. :)
