Just use any images you like, name them post_old.gif and post_new.gif and put them there.

unfortunately i have no clue how to do any of that. I think I need a Mod book for dummies.

The bigger question is: What are you doing wrong that it's even looking for those old files? VB changed them to .png a long time ago. I suspect you haven't updated something. i.e., I don't have post_old.gif either, only post_old.png.

I am currently running Version 4.1.2. Only happens in internet explorer.

Hippy · #**1668** 03-31-2011, 03:23 PM

I have no idea why you don't have these images...
as I think they are default vb images ..
anyway
I am attaching them here just upload them top the directory we talked about

Don't worry, when I started, I too didn't know anything. But you'll learn that over time. Basically you need to FTP them to your directory. Or use those with png extension and just copy them, but this time with gif extension (it works).

If you installed vBulletin yourself, you at least know hot to FTP something. It's like working with directories on your HDD, but just on different server. If you don't know how to use FTP, please learn, but it's very easy. As I said, just like working with files on your disk (but you need program for FTP).

Actually, the mod (at least Advanced Forum Statistics from Valter too) still uses hard coded files. I don't use anymore his chat, but I use Advanced Statistics. I have them as I upgraded from vB3, maybe old versions of vB4 used gif? I know for sure that new (4.1.2 I'm using now) version uses png

Oops, you are correct. I made the mistake of looking at my local vb4 folder, and vb4 no longer comes with any .gif files. But on my site I have preserved the old .gif files so I never noticed an issue.

I suppose it might be easiest for new installers to just edit the .xml file and globally replace .gif with .png. Um no, I see the xml references a "separator.gif" also which I see is still included with vb4 and has not been changed to .png. Confusing.
