MD, I've been actually having button problems for the last several months and I really thought that there was no way to fix it. I basically gave up on it, so I'm glad I found you.
When we updated our software awhile back, the buttons would no longer really work. And I can't use the blue color buttons because those colors would look a little funny with the current colors of the forum. So my first thought was to change all of the new blue buttons to a gold color, but there was no way to do that. We ended up putting your old gold ones back on with the new software, which again, they don't really work all that well together. The "thumb tack" symbol for sticky topics, as well as the "flame" for hot topics don't look all that good on the gold ball images. I thought the old ones were perfect on the old software when they were working good, such as with the "x" for sticky topics, and I believe there was an "H" on the gold ball for hot topics, etc ....
Anyway MadDog, now that I have a chance at fixing this thing, I'll be in touch over the next couple of days. I would really like to have your old ones back on somehow, but so they work on our current software. I'm not even sure which version we're on, lol.
Or better yet, since we're a Bird Flu forum, maybe we should go with an image of a gold color bird to replace the gold balls? Then with hot topics, maybe have the bird image change to Red, and for sticky topics, maybe have the bird in a different pose of some sort. If there is anyway to add any flash to the images, maybe we could even have the wings continously moving.
Thanks again for the assistance,
Albert
