There not working on my forum ball2live.com under western conference i tried it for dallas mavericks forum i put in the image prefix box

ps3_
and then i named the image ps3_forum_old.gif and uploaded it to images/statusicon/

can there be any mods conflicting with it ? I used to have that category icons mod .

What is the result of what you did? Are you getting any image to appear? Is this variable in your forumhome_forumbit_ templates - $forum[imageprefix] ?

I dont think so which one do i put that in theres like 3 different ones also where do i put it in there .

Actually i think they are in thee wow i need this to work bad .

Go to edit those templates (and yeah, there are several) and click on View History so you may compare your template to the default Jelsoft one and it will show you where the variable should go.,

But the thing is it doesn't show up on my default skin also so it couldnt be a problem with the templates right ? Man this sucks .

It doesn't show up on your default skin - do you mean *your* default skin or a Jelsoft default skin? What version of vB are you running?

Im running 3.7.3 and yea im talking about the jelsoft default skin .

On my 3.7.3 board in the template forumhome_forumbit_level1_post, I have a line like this (around the fifth line or so):

I have the same line in forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

I have compiled so images that should help the situation and mods i installed .

You realize you need to add a new icon for all five of these:

• forum_link.gif
• forum_new.gif
• forum_new_lock.gif
• forum_old.gif
• forum_old_lock.gif

What is the image path being shown currently in your page source? Are you getting any status icon to show at all for that forum?
