Default How to change New Post Icons per Forum?

I've seen this on many forums before, but could never figure out how to do this or how to search for this correctly.

I want to change my new thread/ old thread icons on forum home per each individual forum.

For example: If a forum is about PS3 then it shows a ps3 icon and the xbox one shows an xbox etc.

Anyone know what mod allows to change these individually, because I've never seen the option in any of the forum permissions.

Are you talking about the Forum Status Icons that you may change in the Forum Manager > Prefix for Forum Status Images?
Quote:
Prefix for Forum Status Images Forum Status images are usually shown alongside the forum in a forum listings to indicate the read status.

This prefix must only contain alphanumerical characters, though the following are also allowed - _ / ., a folder name is also acceptable to be placed within the status icon directory.

The following images are currently in use for status icons, you will need to create images with the specified prefix to match.
  • forum_link-48.png
  • forum_new-48.png
  • forum_new_lock-48.png
  • forum_old-48.png
  • forum_old_lock-48.png

Ok I found an example again finally ....

How do you put the images next to the forum board ... notice how they are all different based on what type of forum it is.

Go to where I mentioned above - Forum Manager > Prefix for Forum Status Images - click the help link and it will tell you the names of the files (I listed the 4.x ones above not realizing I was in the 3.x forum) and follow the directions to change it per forum. Just make all five images per forum exactly the same.

I'm not seeing "Prefix for Forum Status Images" under my Forum Manager tab.

I see a Thread Prefixes at the bottom of the "Forum and Moderators" section.

*face palm* Your right ... it's there ...

so thats where you enter your file name for the image ... how do you choose between it showing two, like one "greyed" out and then the image to differentiate whether there is a new post in the forum.

There are several icons...
example_new.gif
example_old.gif
example_new_lock.gif
example_old_lock.gif

This would be if you set the prefix to: exaple_

new.gif is how it looks if there is new posts to be read
old.gid is how it looks if there are no new posts
new_lock.gif is if the forum is locked and there are new posts
old_lock.gif is if the forum is locked and there are no new posts

You can set custom for each version... Some forums just use the same picture for all, or some use the same for new and old without caring about being locked... but in any case you need each version.

ah so like with yours it said movie_

so you could do another like game_ on a different forum. Then you just upload the pics for

movie_new.gif
movie_old.gif

and so on .....

and then

game_old.gif
game_new.gif

and so on ... and it knows to pull those pics for that particular forum board because of the prefix you set. ???
