See image to what I mean, I have a couple of themes that are empty.

I'd appreciate any help available for this.

Thanks

Ron.

Sure this depends what you want to change it to.

If you want to use costume icons for each section try out this plugin.

I installed that plugin before I posted here.  All it has is some smileys, not what I wanted..

All I need is a black dot and a gray dot.  Can I add images to that plugin.

Those are forum status icons. What you need is default of MyBB and you don't need a plugin.
MyBB handles those icons in a single sprite image and positioning through CSS. The default image file representing those icons in named forum_icon_sprite.png, located under images folder. It again depends on the theme you are using. You need to find the path in your theme's CSS in which path the icon image is located and the actually the image is available in that path or not. For default theme the CSS can be found under global.css:

.forum_status {
	height: 30px;
	width: 30px;
	background: url(../../../images/forum_icon_sprite.png) no-repeat 0 0;
	display: inline-block;
}

.forum_on {
	background-position: 0 0;
}

.forum_off {
	background-position: 0 -30px;
}

.forum_offclose {
	background-position: 0 -60px;
}

.forum_offlink {
	background-position: 0 -90px;
}

Yes this what I am looking for.

Thanks for the advice.
