Thanks for this modification...Install

Try this, it's easier:

Your "version" does not replaces the standard images vBulletin uses, which is the whole point of this hack. If you put a link into the forum description text it also displays the image in the forum description above the threads on forumdisplay which can break the design or look not that good depending on the size of the images.
If you put the link into the forum title field (which has a character limit and could make image links impossible) it shows up in the breadcroumb and other places as well.

Example: http://crackmuzik-gfx-elite.de/forumdisplay.php?f=116

Also your suggestion does not have different status images (no new posts/new posts).

It is possible to add images into forum descriptions/titles, yes.
But if it is easier depends on the point of view I think and the number of forums ;)

And it defenetly has nothing to do with what my code does :p

I must be losing the plot because for the life of me I can't find this

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

in those templates

ps.. i have edited these templates previously to change the alt1 and alt2 due to changing last column and thread and post columns around

Search for

forum_$forum[statusicon].gif

nope not found

I don't know what is going on here because those icons are showing

edit: i even checked for this in other forums and i couldn't find it .. would using a different postbit legacy make a difference?

if i use this plugin, is it gonna be similar to this one.. because i want my forum to be like this, but i really dont know which addon i have to do...

thanks..

@Clayton: send me your postbit template and I will have a look

@hippiesimz: No

This plugin would replace the blue ball from your screenshot with a picture.
I can release a hack for how to get the picture on the right/left site of the description like on my forum www.elternfragen.net.

But I don't know when I find the time.
Maybe today, maybe this weekend, maybe next week.

Check my profile for a new hack now and then ;)

thanks for the great stuff starbug

here's something for all

@Tom

And you are not using the potential of this hack.
Why not have a second icon for forums which are read. You could use a grey version of each icon to show the visitor that there is no new post in a specific forum ;)
