Hello can anyone advise me how to change the colour of the 'New Post' icon when using the Black and White template. There is very little difference in the 'New Posts' and 'No New Posts' icon that people aren't seeing that there are in fact new posts to be read.

Thanks

Hello Chris,

You can edit the icon you want using a image editor like paint, and then use this script to change it in your forum

for(index=0; index<document.images.length; index++)
{

if(document.images[index].src == imageorig01) document.images[index].src = imagerplc01;
if(document.images[index].src == imageorig02) document.images[index].src = imagerplc02;

The new icons show on your forum. They don't actually replace the old one. Rather, they cover up the old ones. So, first the page loads like it really is, then the new icons load. But, before the new icons load, the Digg icon at the bottom loads, and the ads. That slows down getting to your new icons loading, especially for people with slower connections.

You can make the Digg and other social bookmark icons not show at the bottom of your forum, by disabling them in the admin panel, if you want to. Then your new icons will load faster.

And, of course, if you pay to not have advertisements, everything will load faster.

Please put your forum URL in your signature on this forum so it will always show in all your posts.
