This is a mod alot of people wanted me to release so here it is.

What it does: It displays an icon for each forum.

Demo: MYLS1 Fbody tech and performance | Install guides | Pics and Vids

########## INSTALL ##########

Admin CP >> Styles & Templates >> Edit Templates >> Forum Home Templates >> forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find:

PHP: 
<tr align="center">
    <td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>
    <td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[align=left]" id="f$forum[forumid]">

Add underneath:

PHP: 
<div style="float: left; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forumid.gif" alt=""/></div>

########## / INSTALL ##########

Now the deal is that you have your own icons and you have to name each file with the number of the id of each forum.

So you go to Forums & Moderators >> Forum Manager

And click on any child forum (not subforum), for example in our case New Members, and look at the top for the Forum id... then you rename the .gif file with the number of the forum id, like: 2.gif

Upload them onto the images / statusicons folder

Now that file will display on that forum, and you go like that for each forum you have.

I think this is what you were looking for.

This will allow you a wide range of options such as changing old post icons per forum, new post icons per forum, link icon, locked icon you get the drift.....

Installation Instructions

Step 1: Upload the .xml file to the Product Manager
Step 2: Read the install.txt file for template edit instructions

What does this Plugin do?

Basically, this will allow you to have Custom Forum Status Icons for each forum - To have one image constantly displayed simply edit the options for each image replacement to the same image

I will answer questions to help with installation but i will NOT support this so no PM's please :)

Yup. add this in the code preferably between the image and text.

Code: 
&nbsp;

so it now looks like this.

PHP: 
<div style="float: left; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forumid.gif" alt=""/> &nbsp;</div>

you may have to play around with it to get it correct.

Otherwise there is another hack that has just been posted that I have replied to that seems to do the same job you are wanting!
