I was wondering how to put this symbol [Image: newz.png] instead of these [Image: on.gif] on the forums. I'm really new to this and I don't know what to do.. the link to my site is http://www.beybladeaustrali.mybbnew.com and on the bottom of the forum is the three symbols that show new post, no new posts and locked forum so keep in mind that there are different pictures etc ... if this made no sense then sorry Confused
Replace:
http://www.beybladeaustrali.mybbnew.com/images/off.gif
http://www.beybladeaustrali.mybbnew.com/images/on.gif
http://www.beybladeaustrali.mybbnew.com/...fflock.gif

with the images you want to use instead.

Of course, for this you will need FTP access, or ask your host to do this for you (as far as I can tell you're with a free host).
We're using mybbnew, so we can't edit the files. I need to know which templates to edit in order to do this Confused
This is the code for the image source, it's in forumbit_depth2_forum, forumbit_depth2_cat and index:

src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$lightbulb['folder']}.gif"

You'd have to do something like this:

src="http://wherevertheimageishosted.com/{$lightbulb['folder']}.gif"

You'd have to make sure they're called on/off/offlock.gif so it works properly. Hotlinking is never recommended though as all it's going to do is slow your forum down, however you have no choice.
Thanks it worked, although locked doesnt work. nvm though!
