Danny, this in theory works anywhere, it has no real version depedancy. Infact it can work on non vbulletin sites just as well.

In short the feature only requires Apache.

I think the not found option in the alternate form is easy to overlook when reading.

If you use the mod rewrite you save a file fetch and an execution. If you are loading the simley images, the editor, etc. that is a lot of reads. Offhand it looks like it would save about 100 or so file reads per page.

I can not understand, why you prefer PNG....

here in IE6 Png are creating problem, in transparency, you can see
screen shot..

Because IE6 sucks, its a bad browser with limited support. PNG's have alpha transparency which is better than normal on off transparency. All modern browsers support PNG's.

I can't understand why you prefer a more than seven-year-old browser over a modern webbrowser :) IE 6 was released in october 2001...

This mod works by redirecting all forum icon requests to their .png equivalent via mod_rewrite?

It was working but I made a few icon changes, now it does not work. I redid everything when it first worked. I am just puzzled. Any thoughts? You can see the missing images mostly on the postbit & thread page.

Hi,

I have recently tried to get this to work on my server and for some reason its not having it, so I tried the same process on my friends server and it worked, so what could be stopping it on my end.

When I delete the .gifs all I get is a blacnk space on FF!

Can anyone suggest anything?

thanks
Danny

Ok I have spoken to one of the Tech dudes from my hosts and he said this:

"This hack will not work in your configuration as any file that does not exist (which would cause a 404) will be handed to Wordpress and managed by wordpress' 404 handler."

Is there anyway around this?

Dan

My hosts re-wrote my Wordpress .htaccess file, and this now works awesome!

If anyone uses Wordpress and wants to know how to solve this, just send me a PM.
