change .gif to .pngs on forum status icons

i want to change my forum status icons to .pngs instead of gifs because gifs suck. Which files do i need to edit i have edited all the templates and it is still not working.

also where can i change the poll icon to a .png?

i got the forum part, (im blind) but i still cant find the poll image.

In images/statusicon to be exact, forum_new.gif forum_old.gif are probably the ones your looking for.

You would then have to a mass Search and Replace of '.gif' with '.png' in your templates and also edit the Main CSS background images from '.gif' to '.png'.

Good luck I guess... :D

AdminCP -> Stlyes and Templates -> Replacement Variable Manager and enter something like this in

Search for text: forum_new.gif
Replacement text: forum_new.png

this will update your style rather then attempting to change them all manually.

Oh yes I overlooked both those things, I forgot he was only talking about the status icons. Serves me right for trying to help at half twelve at night. :p

Just repeat the operations mentioned above for the images/misc/poll_posticon.gif

I'd just install this mod and be done with it until official PNG support is provided.
