So, depending on the status, the image is changed from forum_old to forum_new (or one of three others). So, you could do a condition based on $forum[statusicon] to change the image if it is 'new' or you can make the names of your images fit that pattern and then change forum_ to whatever you chose.

I'd love to be able to do that, Lynne, but it is well beyond my capability at present.

Thank you for your reply, though, and the information.

It looks like that's what I'll have to do. I was reluctant to overwrite anything but it appears I can't avoid it.

Thank you, Medtech, for your help.
