AdminCP --> Styles & Templates --> Replacement Variable Manager

On the page next to the style you want to change them on click Add New Replacement Variable
Search for Text = first.png
Replace with Text = abv_yourimage.ext
Press save

Thats how I replaced my icons and pagination graphics. I just abbreviate mine with bbr_ and drop them in the same folder. So for my pagination image I named it bbr_first.png

First of all, thank's for your help.

When I do a search for "forum_new-48.png" which is the forum home png, it don't find that name in any of the templates.

I would like to make custom status icon that are displayed only in certain sections of our forums.
I've tried editing the Prefix for Forum Status Icons and the result is the forums in question have disappeared in vB 4.0.1.
Any suggestions?
