If you are using 3.7, then go to edit the Forum and input a prefix in "Prefix for Forum Status Images". Then make sure to create them and put them in the folder with the prefix in front. See the help icon:

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.gif
• forum_new.gif
• forum_new_lock.gif
• forum_old.gif
• forum_old_lock.gif

I uploaded sampleimage.gif under status icons folder of the template and used the code '/sampleimage.gif' in Prefix for Forum Status Images but its not working, even tried entering the folder name.
Am i going wrong somewhere?

Yes, you are doing it wrong. A prefix is something you append to the beginning of a word. So, if you put (no quotes) "sample_" as your prefix, then you would have:
sample_forum_link.gif instead of forum_link.gif and
sample_forum_new.gif instead of forum_new.gif
etc for the list of five.

Thank for the heads up Lynne!
