Can someone help me with this? Am i doing something wrong?

The software is looking for them in a directory called /forums which doesn't seem to exist. example:

http://herptilesclassifieds.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif

Go to admincp > post icons > post icon manager > and then view and edit the post icons to make sure the path is correct.

Checked them, they are all there and good and still nothing on the forum....

You say they are "good" but obviously they are not.

What exactly is the path to your "icon1" ?

It should be: /images/icons/icon1.gif

And similar for all the rest.

Try changing it to:

images/icons/icon1.gif

without the leading "/"

Create a new style with no parent:

• Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
• Parent Style: No Parent Style
• Title: Default vBulletin
• Allow User Selection: Yes
• Save

Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Tried all 3 and still nothing.........

OK this is unusual so...

If you just want to get them to work copy your images/icons directory to /forums/images/icons and it will work. It's not a fix but a work-around.

What is the history of this forum- is it a new install? An old forum you bought? Has it ever been in the /forums/ directory? Do you know?

[HondaStreetCult]

It is a new forum and it was working fine until i tried installing CMPS....

and yes it is in the /forums directory


Come to think of it i also added /forums/images/icons/icon1.gif

What i have noticed to is that even if i do not chose a post icon to appear and you leave it at NO ICON. A red X still comes up and the link on it is post icon 1

is there suppose to a a "NO ICON" icon? If i go into the persons post and set it to icon1.gif manually it works.
