Is there a way to change the forum markers from being .GIF to .PNG? I feel .PNG has better quality and wouldn't render my images the way .GIF does.

Forum markers meaning the Read/Unread/Forum Locked icons..
Yes, just use an online image converter. That's what I did.
I think hes meaning, "ok i uploaded the PNG files, but where i can't change in the source to .png ?"
In Forum Bit Templates:

From forumbit_depth2_cat:

<img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$lightbulb['folder']}.gif" alt="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" title="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" class="ajax_mark_read" id="mark_read_{$forum['fid']}" />

From forumbit_depth2_forum:

<img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$lightbulb['folder']}.gif" alt="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" title="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" class="ajax_mark_read" id="mark_read_{$forum['fid']}" />

In both of those places change '.gif' to '.png'.
You can do it, but I recall the icons not changing via Javascript. (You'll have to reload the page when you click "mark as read") It's been a while since I've tried though, so it may be fixed.
