the "Poll:" in the thread listing looks a bit stupid... could anyone help to replace this with a tiny gfx/icon ?
The quick and dirty way to do this is to change the language pack and add the image instead of the text.
In inc/languages/english/global.lang.php, find:
$l['poll_prefix'] = "Poll:";
Replace with:
$l['poll_prefix'] = '<img src="images/mycoolpollicon.gif" alt="Poll" title="This thread is a poll" />';
what about how to do it by a plugin?
can you replace a language string with a plugin?
