Hi, I was wondering how I can add my own buttons in place of the typical "New Thread" & "Reply" buttons.

Hi roxabox,

You can add your own images if you want to for those. For the New Thread button, visit your admin panel then navigate to Themes > Layout Templates. On the next page click the "Board" template and find the following on line 5:

<ul class="controls"><li>$[create_thread_button]</li></ul>

Change this to the following instead:

<ul class="controls"><li><a href="$[create_thread_button.href]"><img src="URL TO IMAGE HERE" /></a></li></ul>

Place the URL of the image you want to use for the button then save the changes.

For the reply button, revisit the Themes > Layout Templates page, then click on the Thread template. On the next page find the following on line 4:

<ul class="controls"><li>$[reply_button]</li></ul>

replace this with the following:

<ul class="controls"><li><a href="$[reply_button.href]"><img src="URL TO IMAGE" /></a></li></ul>

Then save the changes. Once both are complete, your images should display in place of the usual button
