I dont have access to the $files listed above. so am really hoping you guys can help. Where is the support?????????????????? This can be done in mins and does not take long......
If I may intrude. Here's how I did it with my theme, and you can do it with Pinkie Theme. As you have all the pics. Upload them all to one directory, that does not change their names (i.e. http://www.cmybbimages.com/, you should register first, but it's quick).
And if you think that theme is looking for gifs and you have pngs, just edit them to be gifs (I recomend editing in PhotoShop and save SaveForWeb to make them as small as possible), upload them as gifs, and change images path in Pinkie Theme to go to your directory and that's it. It will work for you. As it seems that no other users use that theme, so everything will be ok without bugging the support team. I hope I helped. Bye bye
