Okay, I know I can add any text to the 'New Icon Text' option, but is there a way for me to create an additional, separate 'New Icon Text'? I'd like to be able to mark some threads as "NEW" and others as "UPDATED".

Hi Robert ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Would the updated show when you edit the first post, or are you adding a new post for each update? Craig

Craig It would show when I edit the first post. I like creating custom content for a computer game and I sometimes update the content, hence the need for an "Update" as opposed to a "NEW" icon. But I would still want to be able to use the "NEW" icon for when I upload new content to a new thread. In a pinch I could use the text "NEW or UPDATED", but ideally having both available seperately would be ideal. You give me impression that you've looked at my site, so you can see what I'm trying to do.

I can't offer an ideal solution, but i would agree with what Scott posted, the Labels are a good way to go.
The reason i asked about whether you would be updating the first post or making a new post is because, unfortunately, whilst you can use the labels feature to label the topic as updated, it will always show as updated even after the viewer has read the update - unlike what the new icon does.
To mitigate this, and if you use the labels, you could include the date it was updated in the label name, and update that date every time you make an edit.

Fantastic! Is there a way to make Labels automatically expire after a certain time period, like say, a month? Also, thanks, Craig.

Unfortunately, there isn't an auto-expire option for the labels i'm afraid. That's OK. Your earlier suggestion to add a date to the Label will work fine, as it will let me keep track of how long a thread has been Labeled. Fantastic! Edit: Hmm, actually, I'm not sure how well adding a date to a Label would work because I typically will have several threads labeled, all with different "NEW" or "UPDATED" dates. Hmm, I know I could make multiple Labels with different dates...I dunno, I might try that, as long as it doesn't get too confusing for me. Regardless, the Labels will work. Thanks for your help.
