WOW, i just saw this:  
'Check the client browser version
 strClientBrowserVersion = browserDetect()
 
 'If the cleint browser is IE 6 of below then display GIF's for some of the images
 If strClientBrowserVersion = "MSIE6-" Then
  strForumImageType = "gif"
 Else
  strForumImageType = "png"
 End If
 
This is impressive, thank you very much!

Thanks Borg, so just to clarify ... since there are users of all kind of browsers, does it know which image type to display based on the browser the user is using? Or do we need to go into the includes/variables_inc.asp and tell it which image type to display to ALL users?

It is done in that file but it's not setup in that file.

In the file includes/global_variables_inc.asp a variable for image type is set to either .png or .gif depending on the browser you are using. This is then used throughout the forum when selecting which images to display.

If you are using IE 7, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc. you see the nice PNG images, if you are using IE 6 or below you see GIF images, which don't look quite as nice, but will render faster in these older versions of IE which do not natively support PNG's alpha channel.

Firstly, I want to say THANK YOU for the great efforts and for providing us with more options on how to use the forum with png's and gif's.
 
My question is, is changing from PNG to GIF still done from the includes/topic_status_icons_inc.asp file?
