I did contact the creator of the 'News' theme and this is the reply I got

HI there.

I'm sorry, but I can't help you out for several reasons.
First of all, SMF 2.1 is based on HTML 5, which I haven't played with. I simply don't know the language.
Second, I can't help you out because of chronic migranes I'm suffering from.

You COULD just adapt the. HTML 4 files from SMF 2, but it would be a huge job, and almost impossible to keep updated with new SMF releases.
Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
Regards.
So the way I see it he/she is giving permission for us to bring it up to date.

Just thought you should both know

I thought you posted that elsewhere unless it was in a PM. LOL

I did but it was on my test site which Twitch might not have seen. So just to ensure that he knew it was OK for us to update it.

I just wanted to see it as is cause I was having probs with my install. Prolly a server issue of sorts.

I just knew that you ha shown me it on a test site before Twitch got onboard here but forgot here. LOL

I needed something to go on so I could see if things were right or wrong while being updated. LOL
