well there's a downside to that code cause it doesn't have the default system that when there is a new post, the _new.gif image shows up and _old.gif when there's no new post....

here's my code for customizing it..

in

forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

find

<td class="alt2"> <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon] /forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>

replace with

PHP Code:

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[forumid]_forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="$forum[forumid]_forum_statusicon.gif" /></td> 


Then name each .gif by its [forumid]_forum_old.gif for old and [forumid]_forum_new.gif (e.g., 23_forum_new.gif, 23_forum_old.gif).
there should be a pair of those images, the old being opaque (35% will do).

Upload the images in your statusicon image folder or whichever folder you specified.

*note: replace the [forumid] with the appropriate forum ID's*
