Additionally, you don't have to actually move the newicons directory - instead of the relative URL being newicons/$icon, prepend ../ to that, so with icons and newicons both being in the images directory (per installation default prior to 6.2.2) it'll work.

Have you tested this? I'm just not sure that images/icons/../newicons/some.gif in the url would actually work.

I just had to test this and yes it indeed does work. Thanks for the tip. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I made the post after redoing the mods on the HP site, as one of our members had already hacked it to do the same thing you did, and I accidentally killed some of that when I upgraded to 6.2.2 and overwrote postlist.php. I thought "Bah, it's a PITA to move all that, I'll just give it a virtual URL/path dropping back one level" and did it, and it worked.

I noticed a bit of an error when using this hack... your legend on the postlist page becomes invalid as it was setup to reflect the new post highlighting rather than new post images. To combat this I have attached a text file to this post to detail how to change it. If you have used the ../ method you will need to alter the URL to reflect that, otherwise it should work fine.<br /><br />I have my stylesheets setup so they look like they did before the latest update (ie: alternating color bars, no highlighting for new posts). This hack will make the legend valid whether you use highlighting or not.<br /><br />It worked for me anyway, let me know if I messed up anywhere. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Dave have you found out where you need to edit the "showthreaded.php" file to use the orange icons yet?<br /><br />Thank you by the way for posting this, its a life saver. My users were about to over-throw me because of that change.
