Is there any other reason
 

Hi Guys/Gals

Is there another reason to why these images below wouldn't work as a gif? I chenged the below, to read the gif's instead of the png's. But the images won't select?

Any ideas would be great

Dave

nope just make sure you are uploading them into the proper directory, if you are using the default vbulletin or using a custom style they will have their own "Statusicon" folders.

Cheers @Lifesgreatestgift I do have the right folder selected, and I'm editing the right template. Just doesn't want to work :(

Dave,

Go to ACP->Styles & Templates->Style Manager. For the style you edited the template in, select Style Variable Editor. In the search stylevar box type img.

Check the path for imgdir_statusicon. It may not be where you think it is and you may need to move the gifs to that folder.

Thanks @nhawk, I'll check that.

Cheers

Folder checked, imgdir_statusicon checked, selecting the right folder. Edited the template from png to gif, but they will not show. the only way I can get them to show is if I change the names of my gif images to png's.......Has me :(

Are you certain that you are editing the template for the right style? Ichanged out the pngs for gifs on my test site and it worked flawlessly.

Yes John, we only have two styles, default and a mobile style. I'm editing this one: pm_messagelist

Is that correct?

Yep that's the one I edited. Have you tried deleting the pngs from the status icon folder?

ADDED:

You could also try using a direct path for the images like (from my test site) <img src="/vb4112pl3/images/statusicon/pm_forwarded.gif" instead of <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/pm_forwarded.gif"
