    Hey guys, I downloaded a new set of status icons both forum-read.png
    and forum-unread.png
    The problem is, the new ones do not show up. Simply overwriting forum-read.png or forum-read.jpg
    does nothing. So there must be a control setting some where in the acp to do this.
    Anyone know how to resolve this for me? Thanks!

    I always overwrite them, if its a .png you got make sure the files you are uploading is also a .png, if you upload .gif and the original was a .gif for example it wont 0verwrite.

    Overwriting then should work. Make sure you are uploading the pictures in the same format (.gif, .png, .jpg...)

    Yea if the original icon that came with the theme was a png, then you need to make sure the new ones you are uploading and png also.

    ahh... Those are "widgets" and not status Icons anymore..
    It worked.. I had actually found some in a VB Icon directory so I assumed it was the same for Xenforo..
    It is not....LOL
