In here, you can change the images on your board (such as Closed, New Topic, Add Reply, New Poll, AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, etc) to another image, text, or anything else you can think of.


For example, I'll use the Posted Image image (which happens to be the second one on the list).

You will see on the left:
Quote:
 
Locked Post Button
Sample

In the middle:
Quote:
 
<img src='http://209.85.62.23/style_images/<#IMG_DIR#>/t_closed.gif' alt='' border='0' />

and on the right, a checkbox. Place a check in the checkbox if you wish to change that one.



Lets say you wanted to use a different image, you'd simply replace this:
Quote:
 
<img src='http://67.18.37.15/style_images/<#IMG_DIR#>/t_closed.gif' alt='' border='0' />

with a URL of an already existing image, making it look like this:
Quote:
 
<img src='http://www.yoursite.com/image.gif' alt='' border='0' />

Remember to change http://www.yoursite.com/image.gif to the URL of YOUR image. You can put in your own HTML if you want, but you don't need to. We will automatically add the formating in for you.
(If you don't already have the images uploaded so you can use their URLs, see this post.)

Now when you view a closed topic, you should see a different image.



Lets say you didn't want an image, you wanted text. Very simple, replace this:
Quote:
 
<img src='http://67.18.37.15/style_images/<#IMG_DIR#>/t_closed.gif' alt='' border='0' />

with this (or something similar):
Quote:
 
Closed Topic

Now when you view a closed topic, you'll see the text "Closed Topic".



When you are done making your changes for the Locked Post Button, place a check in the checkbox next to it.

Repeat the above the process for every other image you wish to change.

Once you are done making ALL of your changes, go to the bottom of the page and choose "Use Replacement", then click "Submit".
