I'm getting an error, it's not showing up but the code is placed in the right spot...

[sross]

ok i got mine mostly working can someone have a look and tell me why only some threads to the left have the "go to last post" icon and others do not? hmm http://www.itburnouts.com
Thanks!

*edit- ok weird now they are all showing, it seems to be a bit random, oh well..

[midnightwalker]

It;s not display the topic icon in my case

the link becomes http://www.rmitportal.info/forum/htt...es/icons/5.gif
instead of
http://www.rmitportal.info/forum/images/icons/5.gif

Any idea?

[somasimple]

It seems that you've customized the forum icons.
Normally you need a common forum_new.gif and it will work.

[midnightwalker]

so how can I solve it?

[somasimple]

Hi all,

I modified some forums pics as you did but I have also a common/default set in case of normal procedures/functions calls.

You may hard code the changes in your template with the custom image adress.

It dosent work for me at all

Hope someone els can do some to 3.5.2 or help me

[somasimple]

Hi replace this

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[latest_threads]" /></td>

by

<td class="alt2"><img src="http://www.rmitportal.info/forum/images/icons/5.gif" alt="$vbphrase[latest_threads]" /></td>

normally it may work.
notice that on my site I needed to add a width statement to have it equal with forums.

[midnightwalker]

hi,

Thanks for your help somasimple but it's not what I expected.
Every topic users may chose the different emtion and it's not only the 5.gif so I have to find another way to set the path
