Oh for each section? Nevermind then, I thought you were talking about the default ones.

I think what you do is make different statusicons for the different forums and append the forum id to the end of it.... ie. for forum 2, you would have a gif called "forum_new2.gif" instead of just "forum_new.gif" and then in the template, you would append "$forumid" to the end of the image there, ie. "forum_new$forumid.gif" Play around with that idea and you should be able to get it to work.

Oh wait... do you mean AdminCP > Forums & moderators > Forum Manager > Edit Forum > Prefix for Status Images ? (Or something like that).

yeah the prefixes =)

Create new images (forum_new.gif, forum_old.gif, etc.) and then add a prefix you define to them. If you defined the prefix to be happy_ you would rename the ones you want for that forum to be happy_forum_new.gif.

ok so what ur saying is if i have a forum section called Worldofwarcraft and i want a different icon for that only then i would use prefix, with worldofwarcraft_forum_new.gif and worldofwarcraft_forum_old.gif ??
