styling the node/add/page

I'm trying to get the page to come up from it's own tpl file, like i do with nodes. I have the theme developer turned on and this is what it says:
Template called:
page.tpl.php
File used:
themes/garland/page.tpl.php
Candidate template files:
page-node-add-page.tpl.php < page-node-add.tpl.php < page-node.tpl.php < page.tpl.php
I tried all 4 suggested tpl files , but none work...

I cleared the cache using the devel module, from what i know i also clears the theme registry
Interested..
.. why it doesn't work?? Should do!
Tell me about it.....
could someone please try it and confirm getting the same result
Still no joy here.. but,

clearing cache does not entirely clear the theme registry based on documentation I've seen somewhere. There are instances where you would need to visit the administer -> themes screen which clears the parts of the registry that a cache clear does not.
Edit: Comment above is incorrect,clearing cache also clears the theme registry per : http://drupal.org/node/173880 under theme registry.
That sounds like a
That sounds like a configuration option in Drupal, go to Site configuration > Administration theme, ensure that "Use administration theme for content editing" is unchecked..
Spot on!
you nailed it, I could have wasted many more hours to figure that one out.... thank you!
