As a complete technofobe coffeecup programs have opened up my world as far as website and shopping cart are concerned

However yet again today, i am confused trying to re install all the themes having updated scc

Surely coffeecup can come up with a simple bit of software to do this automatically, and save us amatuers a headache.

I am presently only using classical jaz, (default)(as i cant update the others) and yet i can't work out if this template has been updated or not in this latest download

Sorry Scott, but it is my first MOAN !!!!

When I updated to the new updated SCC & SCD any themes I opened up that needed updating were greyed out names on the list. When I opened them up it said they were old and proceeded to update them to be current. I would think that if your theme didn't have this problem, then it probably didn't have any outdated code or elements that needed any kind of updates. Just my guess, but if it works I would think you're good to go :)

Since themes are not software, there really is no way to automatically update them right now. However, the latest version of SCC and SCD you did not need to re-download them as nothing changed. If they appear gray in the list, when you open them in SCD it will automatically update them for you.

when i checked my account, downloads, themes section, everone of them said updates available

But now i have checked scc and there are no grey ones

So i guess CC did it again, and they all updated automatically

And i just miss understood the new version available message !

Thanks Scott and Wolverana, all is now clear
