So, you want to set custom images as the images for your forums instead of the default on/off images?
Here's how to do it!

Simply download the attachment and find out!

This is if you don't really care for the new posts icons. If you want to make both new posts icons and the images, simply add the second line after the on/off image code.

^_^ I know that, but people who are not HTML-compliant might want both features. But nice work anywho I might implement this into my board differently. Thanks.

In forum_forumbit_level2_post, I replace

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

with

<img src="images/tiles/$forum[forumid]$forum[statusicon].gif" align="left">

and put a folder of images inside images/tiles named 1new.gif, 1old.gif, 2new.gif, 2old.gif, etc.

:D That's nice and all, but then you'd have to make an icon for every single image.

I did this, and used conditionals.

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == '20' or $forum[forumid] == '2'"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[forumid]_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /> </if>
