How would one go about modifying the forum image links?
Eg, the "on.gif" and "off.gif" that are located in forum/images/

I can't find where they are in the templates or in php functions/settings.
I have a few custom png that I'd like to load.

Thank you,
vol7ron


Edit:
It seems like forumdisplay.php is the starting point - I'm not really sure if that's right.
There's an $icon_cache, but I'm not sure that's what I need.
The easiest way is to just rename them to .gif once on the server.

Otherwise you'll need to edit a few of the forum bit templates, a forum display template and ./jscripts/general.js
I don't think renaming a png as a gif is wise.

I did find: forumbit_depth2_forum - Thank goodness myBB puts some comments in the HTML or I never would have found that.

Now I just need to find where $lightbulb['folder'] is set Smile

I'll take a look at general.js, thank you

Edit:
general.js just seems to affect the on states - it only applies some minor changes.

Changing the file extension doesn't cause any problems.

You'll need to edit forumbit_depth2_cat too.

If you don't make the changes in general.js the "Click to mark this forum as read" feature won't work.
playing around with the png->gif, but there are bordering/transparency issues, so I think i'm going to have to edit the templates/js

thank you mr all knowing,
