New to Drupal. Trying to add new theme. Followed directions from previous "installing theme" post in forum:
1. Checked that download matched 6.x version.
2. Download theme Gzip file.
3. Extract .tar file with 7-zip.
4. Placed .tar file in site/all/themes folder
5. Go to administer - site building - themes and new theme is not there.

No special instructions included with theme for install.

Now wondering if I will have problems installing new modules too...this should be easy right?

Wondering if it is a server side issue?

You don't link the thread, but you have to untar the files as well-- you need to copy the actual files to the /sites/all/themes folder, not the tar archive.

I see your problem. You need to unzip the tar file, which will result in a folder. The folder then needs to be uploaded to site/all/themes. It is almost like it is double zipped. Modules seem to be like that too.
