no-hack solution: Create a new style and apply this style to that forum. In that style design your pages in anyway you like.

But if it's only one button you'll change you may regard considering the "hack solution" which is:

put a variable in the template where your button is like $my_button_variable.

Then in the .php file where it calls it, put a line to assign the value to that variable like:

if ($forumid==X) {$my_button_variable='<img scr.........>';}
else {$my_button_variable='<img scr.........>';}

(if ($forumid==X) part may change according to the file you apply this code.)

depends on the location where you want to insert your button. If it's a button like vb.org's INSTALL button which shows up in thread views, yes it's showthread.php that you should edit.

1- do not use { image folder}, enter full path
2- Replace X with your forumid.

1- put address in double quotes like:
<img scr="http://localhost/squawell/images/XXX.gif">

2- Check if your image path is correct: Call the address http://localhost/squawell/images/XXX.gif from your browser to see if you can see the image. If you cant, find the correct address of the image first and make sure you applied the correct address to the hack code.

3- I dont think there is anything wrong with the hack code. It seems ok. So check your image first..

no I meant the HTML code of your page not hack code.

Load the page which does not work (the one you took the screenshot) and choose source view in your browser, then post here the code (not all of them, just the section around the image tag we are trying to switch)

BTW. why is your URL "squawellftp.dns2go.com"? Shouldnt you refer to your local host with a line smt. like that:
http://localhost/squawell/images/installed.gif

And this is your problem..

Here is your source code:

<a href="newthread.php?s=&action=newthread&forumid=2"> <img scr="http://squawellftp.dns2go.com/squawell/images/newthread.gif"></a>

See? the hack produced the code exactly as it should. Your problem is the link to your image is broken. I dont know what's wrong with that URL, but it's certain that it links a orphaned image. Anyway hack is working ok..
