I know somewhere on this forum someone has probably asked the same exact questions, but by looking through many pages of thread titles, I didn't find many that quite fit.

I wish to make the forum have one of two possible images next to each category. The current default is the simple FireBoard blue folder icon. If I wish to upload a small image so that when there are no new posts, it displays that image, and upload another image, so that it displays when there are new posts, how would I do so? I have both images, can be any file type. I was unsuccessful (obviously) in finding how to upload those to either the image sets or wherever they must be to function as said. Thank you, sorry if it's a redundant post, I tried searching first.

components/com_fireboard/template/*TEMPLATEFOLDER*/images/*LANGUAGE*/icons/folder_nonew.gif and folder_new.gif

Just make your new images have those filenames and follow same folder structure

how can i actually add a different icon to each forum?.. using Forum "CSS class suffix"????
