I am running phpnuke 8.1 patched and the latest version of DS.
I copied the default theme and renamed it and changed all /templates/default paths to reflect the new theme. When editing the css files changes are not seen.

I have no idea what 'DS' is but assuming that you are editing the stylesheet in themes/YourTheme/styles/xxx then the problem is likely to be a browser caching issue.
If you clear your browser cach the changes should show up immediately.

Oh wait....
You cannot just copy the files from themes/YourTheme/ to modules/Forums/templates...
A 'theme' is for the presentation of phpNuke, a 'template' is only for the presentation of the forums module.
You can override the forum template in themes/YourTheme/forums/xxx

DS is referring to Digital Shop and the theme and templete files are those found in the Digital Shop Module

I don't think you need to change any file paths, just select the new theme name in the administration area.
If your shop still has the original theme as the default then the changes won't update unless you are editing the stylesheet in the default theme as that is the one thats 'active'.
Do you have a link to your shop so I can see which stylesheet it's using?

also I have developed a new issue.. I had added a flash file to the footer.tpl of my theme and now even though I have removed all code and cleared browser cache it is still showing up

I forgot that I changed it back to the default theme I have now set it to the new theme and it is back. I had added the following code to the footer.tpl in the Digital Shop template current theme directory:

<table><tr><td>
<table><tr><td>
<object> <param> <param> <embed></embed></object></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>

checked it then knew it would be better to not have it on the bottom of all my shop pages so I removed it and now it is still there.

You are using the 'default' Shop template as I can see it calling the css file for it

Code:

modules/Digital_Shop/templates/default/style.css

so its obvious to me that coping the default theme is not the way to go I just cant seem to find all the path refferences. so I have gone to editing the default theme and that is working well (just simple stuff color changes that kind of thing) I am having an issue adding details to items. I get the following error when clicking on either of the text areas in the edit item form:

You don't need to change any paths, just copy the 'default' directory completely, save it to your PC. Rename it from 'default' to 'music' (or whatever you want to call it) and then upload it back into the 'template' directory and then switch it over in the administration area.

I received that message after witching back to the default theme

If you have been editing the code, it might be easier to make a back up of the default Shop template , delete it from your site and then upload a clean one from the package you downloaded.

I don't use Internet Exploder but it could be just one of the browser security settings gone ape, there is an option under tools for turning javascript errors off which should be turned off by defauly but some spyware can mess with it.
