MyBB Community Forums

Okay I have been coding HTML/CSS for awhile and I have never seen anything so confusing in my life. I wanted to change the .gif on the Forum status Icons to .png because it would be easier to use and it would blend with the Background.

So I followed the guide from 1.4V (I have v1.6.2) thinking that it would help. They said in the guide to go to ACP > Templates & Styles > Templates > Your Style > Expand Template > Forum Bit Templates > forumbit_depth2_cat and forumbit_depth2_forum

In this edit these lines.
In forumbit_depth2_cat

<td class="{$bgcolor}" align="center" valign="top" width="1"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$lightbulb['folder']}.gif"

to

<td class="{$bgcolor}" align="center" valign="top" width="1"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$lightbulb['folder']}.png"

In forumbit_depth2_forum

Edit These Lines.

<td class="{$bgcolor}" align="center" valign="top" width="1"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$lightbulb['folder']}.gif"

to

<td class="{$bgcolor}" align="center" valign="top" width="1"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$lightbulb['folder']}.png"

After I did this, I went back to my Forum Homepage to see if the images would work and all I seen was "No New Forum Post in Forum Topic"

Please Help.

Did you uploaded .png images replacing .gif images ?

Yes I did.

I kept the file name the same but instead of having on.gif and off.gif It was Off.png and On.png and nothing changed.

I noticed you capitalized Off and On in that reply.

Did you make sure they're capitalized in the template?

What's your forum URL ?

We have icons there that are .gifs with bakcground but they do not blend.

They are only Temporarily there.


Also How Do you change the File Size Requirement of Avatars?
I can not find the area to change I want to make it larger then 10 KB,

They need to be named using all lowercase letters. If they already are, make sure you've uploaded them to the theme's image folder not just the images folder.

You also need to make some edits to ./jscripts/general.js if want the "Click to mark this forum as read" feature to work.

What edits need to be made to the js file ? O_o

You need to change off.gif , offlock.gif and on.gif to .png - in a couple of places if I remember correctly.
