So what do I do here? The question marks on the far right don't really help.

Not the question marks. The radio buttons. These:

Attachment 125077

Since I already have my icons stored in the file system, then I only have access to the second and third radio buttons. You should have a radio button by the first option.

AHHH Okay. I don't have any radio buttons. I'm on version 3.8.6, does that have anything to do with it?

What do you have, form fields? I thought they didn't implement that until 4.x. Okay, if that's the case, then you should already be set up if it says "Social Group Icons are currently being served from the database" or similar. If that's what is says, the you should just be able to click go, making sure that the customgroupicons folder is properly CHMOD 777'd first.

Well it can't be properly chmoded already because it isn't working. How can I check that?

I linked to a short explanation on CMHOD in my last post.

Also, remember you have to run Update Counters again.

Okay I went into my file manager, changed the permissions to 777 for my customgroupicons folder, then ran the counter thing again, and still no dice.

SUCCESS! I clicked the reset button, and then clicked go and it took me to a page which said we are attempting to move your social group icons to the filesystem. It did so successfully after I clicked go, and now they're all coming up in thumbnail form. Problem solved!
