Managing a module's templates

Hi,

I installed the latest version of CMSMS yesterday on PHP 4.4.7.

I have a question about how module templates work.

I was trying to modify the News module's templates by uploading a modified .tpl file. However, that wasn't making changes to the display. The display is modified if I edit the template in the admin section.

My question is, why don't changes show when I upload a modified template? And why is the file on the server if it is not being used?

Thanks. I'm a newbie :)

Simon

1. News load template from DB (Admin Panel: Content > News > Summary templates or Detail templates)
2. Are used for loading default template (if you reset template)
