Solved Adding a Forum Icon

Post by TrainH. February 22nd 2009, 7:04 pm

Hey everyone.

So, regarding the icons at the bottom of every forum - you know, Locked, New Posts, No New Posts, etc. I read through the FAQ and didn't find anything about adding a new one; in my case, a Sticky Forum. I've already created the icon for it, so how do I create a new section for a new Icon and implement it?

And also, I wasn't sure whether to post this in the "Appearance" or the "Administration" problems, so I just went with the latter.

All right lol. This is the site (NOT ADVERTISING). At the bottom, I'd like to add a fourth icon, next to the red "Forum is locked", I'd like to add another one called "Sticky Forum", that is basically "Pinned". How do I add that spot?

You can't. You would have to buy template editing. Smile

Sorry.

It's only on the main page that only show new posts, no new posts, locked icons.

At the bottom of each individual forum, the legend shows the icons for
* New posts
* New posts [ Popular ] New posts [ Popular ]
* New posts [ Locked ] New posts [ Locked ]

* No new posts No new posts
* No new posts [ Popular ] No new posts [ Popular ]
* No new posts [ Locked ] No new posts [ Locked ]

* Announcements
* Sticky

you can add the sticky icon in
Display>pics management>advanced>icons for topics.

Wait, that's really weird . . . thanks for getting me there though, first off.

Apparently, it already has Stickied pictures, meaning that it has the Sticky Topic/Forum ability, but whenever I post something, there's no option to pin/sticky/whatever it. The options are:
-Delete Topic
-Move Topic
-Lock/Unlock Topic
-Split Topic
-Merge Topics

How do I sticky it?
