How do I change the icon display by author in FORUMHOME?
 

I want to remove the image (called icon1.gif by default) from showing up by the last poster's name on the Forum Index.

I want to remove the image completely, rather than use a new image so I need to know which template to edit, thanks.

I'm not sure which icon you mean. If you're talking about the "Go to last post" icon then you'd need to edit your "forumhome_lastpostby" template.

Thanks for the reply.

Ahh that icon is selected by the individual user when they're creating the thread. You can select a default "Post Icon" that's to be used in the event that one is not specified by going to your vBulletin Options Panel -> Thread Display Options. Edit the same template to get rid of it. I believe there's a standard option to stop displaying them all together, but I'm having no luck finding it.

OK, that removed the image but like I said - I want to put in text there. I want to format it so that it's like:

In: [topic name]
By: [author]

rather than

[topic name]
by [author]

Where did you say that?

Edit phrase "by_x" to produce the By: effect. Then add "In:" where you removed the HTML to produce the Post Icon from the forumhome_lastpostby. That should do it.

Alright, we're halfway there.

Editing the by_x phrase worked but editing the second field isn't working because it asks you for a filepath to an image and entering anything else simply makes it not show up. It's gonna take a template hack, I just don't know which one.

Sorry for not being clear about exactly what I wanted, I thought I stated it in my first post.

Edit: Finally found it - thanks for all the help. It was the forumhomelastpostby template.

... I said that in the post above, lol.
