Ok I enable it - Thanks

I was thinking that putting the name of the template in the adminhtacces will prevent those problems.

To be honest, this used to be a problem in Joomla! 1.5. It's no longer that big of a deal since Joomla! 1.7. I'd say that enabling the "Allow site templates" option is quite safe.
