MyBB Community Forums

I'm sorry if I put this in the wrong place qwq

I've been trying all day just to figure out how to change buttons like "New Thread" and "Add Reply" along with maybe my postbit... but I'm so lost. There's no place in the images for these kinds of buttons and I'm new to using MyBB and am very, very lost. I have a testing forum up because I wanted to help a friend create a custom design.. I can do designs but I just cannot figure out how to add these buttons in. I used to have the luxury of replacing a file with a new image and it would be set in stone but here..?

tldr I just want to make that an entirely different image. again, I'm sorry if this isn't where I should be putting it I just thought it might be.. 

MyBB 1.8.x uses sprite images with css style properties. in general, you have to modify code in templates to change the image
eg. forumdisplay_newthread template

<a href="newthread.php?fid={$fid}" class="button new_thread_button"><span>{$lang->post_thread}</span></a>

it may be changed like below

<a href="newthread.php?fid={$fid}"><img src="images/newthread.png" alt="{$lang->post_thread}" title="{$lang->post_thread}" /></a>

oh my gosh thank you this is such an importance to me hahaha, I will get on it tomorrow. I'm tired from working on it today but you made it easy. I had been trying to read it but I don't know php (yet), only Java, so you could only assume what foreign language it looked like, lol!
