I found this on here a while back if I could find again I would add the original poster name its simple and easy to do, best by far
each icon you ad has to be named with the forum id number so if introduction is id 2 then you call it 2.gif or whatever file format
you use
i changed from gif to png
Admin CP >> Styles & Templates >> Edit Templates >> Forum Home Templates >> forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
Find:
PHP Code:
PHP Code:
<tr align="center">
<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>
<td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]">
Add underneat:
PHP Code:
<div style="float: left; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forumid.gif" alt=""/></div>
(change the gif to png here here if you want to use png format)
Now the deal is that you have your own icons and you have to name each file with the number of the id of each forum.
So you go to Forums & Moderators >> Forum Manager
And click on any child forum (not subforum), for example in our case New Members, and look at the top for the Forum id... then you rename the .gif file with the number of the forum id, like: 2.gif
Upload them onto the images / statusicons folder
Now that file will display on that forum, and you go like that for each forum you have.
