Different Icons for each forum section

[glen290]

Probably an easy solution but cant work out how to do it.

Would like do do i different icon for each forum, but no idea where to start, can it be done, and if so how ?

It's default in vb4,it's a bit confusing though:
admincp>forums and moderators>forum manager>Whatever forum>Edit forum>"go">Style Options>Prefix for Forum Status Images
Now,make sure you either have a different set of icons already made or make them yourself.

Then.rename them all as such:
say for your default icon,the name is :
forum_old-48.png
rename the replacement one with a "prefix" say:
a_
So it would be:
a_forum_old-48.png
Do that with each and every icon.
Upload those to your statusicon folder that you have designated in stylevars
default is images/statusicon

in the Prefix for Forum Status Images just put a_ in there and everything should be all set.

Ok so I have made a folder called boII inside my custom skin folder found in root/images/ClanHBS/statusicon/boII/

I then go to my cppanel and in the prefix path I place /boII/ but nothing shows for my custom themes but if i place the same boII folder inside images/statusicon/boII/ and change to my default them it works perfect could somone tell me what i may be doing wrong?
