If you want to use different icons for different forums you gotta make or download a gif image and put it in the images/styles/skilltest/statusicon/ folder.

Go to your Admin CP and go to "Forum & Moderators" tab and go edit the forum you want the icon to go to. You'll see a place their to use an icon.

Anyway the tricky part is to name the file xxxxforum_old.gif or xxxxforum_new.gif and when you add that to the Admin CP you don't add "xxxxforum_old.gif" just put the "xxxx" part.
 
i imagine it would be as you are editting tht bit in your acp to point to the images in statusicons directory

thanks for this thizz,is a much easier way then using vblightbulbs
 
any name ???????

Yeah you can put it in as any name. I usually make but make the two same ones old and gif the same name, when you add the XXXX part to your Admin CP, vbulletin automatically picks the filename depending on whether that forum has new posts or not.

EXAMPLE. My car forum:

I have carsforum_old.gif and carsforum_new.gif

I put that in the right directory which in your case is statusicondirectory.

I go to my Admin CP. Edit my cars forum and add the word "cars" to it only.
 
Modify forumhome_forumbit_level1_post :

Search
Code:
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

Replace
Code:
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[forumid].png" alt="" border="0" />


Modify forumhome_forumbit_level2_post :


Search
Code:
 <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

Replace
Code:
 <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[forumid].png" alt="" border="0" />

Now UPLOAD your images in your /statusicon/ folder.
You have to name your image as: forum_FORUMID.png(if you want to know image name after modify open you site with IE thn you will see )
