How would I put together images for a theme without a database?

You don't need a database for images, they go in the file system...

I mean the file system. Sorry.

You can't, just host the images externally (ie. use a free image host).

You'd need to upload them to imageshack or something and change the URLs of the images to hotlink to them. It'll slow down your forum though.

What I mean is, there are images such as forum markers than are on and off, and I don't know how to do that without a file system. How can you set the on off like the markers when there is a new reply and when there isn't?

Other than that, what about small markers for threads?

Yes, with base64 encoded files: http://www.greywyvern.com/code/php/binary2base64

EDIT:

You can include this data URI scheme in CSS files too!

Workaround with the help of one PHP file: http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/2005/06/base64-ie/

They can't use a PHP file, they don't have FTP access, hence asking to do this without FTP access.
