Sub Webs themes not working

I am in the process of setting up a new website. It is
being taken from an existing site.

The current website was a subweb:

For example:

www.abc.com/entry
www.abc.com/member

The entry subweb was a form where the users entered their
email address. They were then transferred to the member
subweb that used shared borders and a theme with link
buttons.

Everything worked great.

Now we are moving this to it's own URL.

www.entry.com

I still want the entry form page and have published it at
www.entry.com.

When I published the member as a subweb under the new URL
(www.entry.com), the shared borders and theme buttons
with links are not there.

They do not show up. I have tried several things like
reapplying the theme, changing the member subweb to just
a folder under the www.entry.com. None of this works.

What am I missing?

Certainly, I appreciate any assistance.

Subwebs are independent web site, shared borders, themes, FP Include Page,
navigation components do not work across subwebs in terms of maintaining any
updates between the root web and subwebs, so by publishing to a different
location you broke the links, which also would have happen if you have
modified any of your navigation, etc. at the old location.

I must not understand the concept my self. I have a
similar problem. I had a properly functioning website on
the net. I transferred the local data to another machine
and the themes got screwed up. I fixed everything on the
local data and it views properly in a browser locally.
When I publish it to the web, there are no themes. I've
tried reloading the entire local version to the web. I've
tried removing and reapplying the theme and republishing
it. Still no luck. Why would it look ok locally and not
publish correctly.
 
You probably did not "transfer" the web from 1 machine to the other
The correct way is to Publish it from the web to the new machine

Ya, I just copied the tree from one machine to another.
The problem is actually that the machine displays
correctly but the published web version doesn't. I suspect
it might be a capitaliztion issue of filenames between
OS's.
