    Doesn't seem to be a serious issue. I can help you with it.I would require a little more details as to what theme and if any other MODS/ADDONS was installed previously.

    Best regards,
    MM

    First thing you need to remember your file structure, There will be problems if you have modded your forum. You can clean install a smf board then restore the database and update all the files accordingly. If this is an important issue open a support request in http://www.simplemachines.org/community They will be happy to assist you.

    Keep patience and wait for appropriate time :)
    Good Luck
