hi how do i replace the buttons like NEW THREAD, REPLY, EDIT, QUOTE, MULTI-QUOTE, etc as i want the vb3 buttons there as i think the vb4 buttons look plain.im guessing i`ll need to edit a template but what exactly would i need to put in the template as im not that good at this sort of stuff .i would think it`ll be the postbit template to edit but that about as far as i know lol

Yep. Just replace the images with the new ones.

Name the new ones the same as the current ones and upload to the server

Profit

vB4 buttons are not image files, but css created. Only the icons on the buttons are images. So there is nothing to replace. To use image buttons instead, the OP would have to edit all relevant templates.

if you change the icons then it will show the new ones as long as they are the same name no templates need edited

Would take a bit, my tests worked without them. You could post in the paid section.
