Is it possible to keep the forums icons from fading to a darker shade if there are no new posts for the user? I've uploaded custom icons, but notice, if there are no new posts, they go darker in color.

Thanks in advance.

You're saying you don't want your status icons to change from unread to read? If so delete the forum_old icons https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/01/3.gif
then rename a copy of your forum_new icons https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/01/4.gifas forum_old icons. (those are vb 3 icons just find the names of the vb 4 icons)

Thanks for the help. I'm actually using a mod that allows me to customize each icon and set it to something unique:

I guess I'll have to get in touch with the creator or the mod to figure out how to do it there, since I'm only uploading a single image for each icon, but the icons appear lighter/darker depending on whether or not the posts have been read or not.

Thanks anyways.

Okay, I see what you mean. You want to keep the additional graphics from fading out? So leave the regular status icons alone find the location of the additional ones. They probably have a similar naming convention (i.e. new vs old). Do the same thing I mentioned above. Your members will be able to tell new vs old messages and you can keep your additional icons untouched.
