Its working now. The template was weird. For some reason, my on/off graphics were linked to:
Code:
<td bgcolor="#F1F1F1"><img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/greentek/$thread[newoldhot].gif" border="0" alt=""></td>
I saw the new style Im working and notice its using the same green buttons here. I freaked out at my co-designer, I thought he ripped them, but he said he didnt even touch the template. Im confused how the hell that got in there. Well I reverted back to the original template and added your code and it works great now. Just gotta reapply that CSS rollover code.
Perhaps I copied the URL by mistake and pasted in there, but I dont ever recall (certainly not today at least) wanting the URL to the new/off buttons, so I wonder wtf happened?
Well anyway thanks for all the help!
