Forum pics

In order to do this (if I'm correct) you would need to do these things - in order:

1. BACKUP your forum images folder - that way if there are any mistakes, its easy enough just to restore quickly
2. Look at the forum images within that folder. Most of the ones you want to change have unique names and are created as a .png file and a .gif file - so you would have 2 of each but ending with either .png or .gif

How to do it

Say you want to have a new icon as in poll - open the new poll icon in a photo editing program (not paint) and then save it as:
poll.png and then as poll.gif

The only issues I can see though is the flame, pin and padlock symbols are like overlays that will appear on top of the image, so some tinkering and trial and error will be the way forward. Also pay attention to image sizes as it is pointless creating an image size that is bigger than the original sizes

I hope that helps but obviously Bruce who designed the software would be the best one to answer your post

Creating the images would take a while slytherin, especially as we are just around the corner from christmas, but I will PM you as soon as I have a chance 

The forum images that you would like changing slytherin take time, and as I have stated above, anything is possible but not always at a drop of the hat

If I were to do the images, then it takes time, and I would have to run them first on my forum to make sure they were working correctly

It is not just something that can be done in 5 minutes but if you have time to spare, why not download this photo editing software which is FREE and you could start making a go. As long as you BACKUP your forum_images folder first you might be pleasnatly surprised at what you could accomplish yourself and at no cost either

Bear in mind:
Image formats - keep to .png and .gif - otherwise as you know only too well from before when you tried using out of date forum images on the brand new version software, you ended up with a bit of a mess

Like MrTWS says it takes time to be able to create those images files.. consider there was a huge update with WWF to change over the images files.. If MrTWS is willing to change over the images files for you or someone else is willing to help you out with this, you should show some consideration for them... it is always best to try to do things on your own first to be able to expand your knowledge for coding and other programs..
