  Can you recommend a source other than WordPress from which I can get customizable themes – I’ve been hearing horror stories about people using themes from another source, but frankly, I’m not sufficiently impressed with your selection.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Because of the way WordPress.com’s technical infrastructure is designed, we are not able to support uploading of custom WordPress themes on our service.

  What do you mean when you “are not able to support …?”

  Are you saying that if I upload a theme that was acquired through an external source that it will not work properly?

  Please be specific.

  You can’t upload an external theme at WordPress.COM

  Hmmm i have the same issue as above. It’s a pity, I find the WordPress.com site amazing. I don’t know how ThemeForest can sell themes called WordPress themes if they’re not compatible with your service :(

  Their themes work fine on WordPress.ORG installs

  You should be able to get your money back, though.
