Hi, newbie here.

I have recently decided to move my 10 year old message board (6000 members) to vBulletin. I have managed to customise the board to match my style, but have a few things I cannot do. The "old" message board system relied on CSS as a customisation "tool", I'm not sure where to start on vBulletin. It is difficult to move to a.n.other system as the methods and terminology are alien, but this (as best I can explain it) is one of my requirements.

re. Post Status Icons. I don't want several of the Post Status Icons: "Hot Threads"; "No New Posts "and "You have posted in this thread" ones - leaving me with the two I do want which are the "New Posts" and the "Thread is closed". I have only found removal options for the "hot thread" ones in the CP, so i removed them.

I found this thread http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...ght=post+icons and from that I deduced that there were no removal options in the CP for the others? So, I made some replacement 1px x 1px icons as described but these show as a dot ,since they are displayed against a black and a grey background on my board I had to choose one of the two colours (maybe transparency is somehow an option I could look at). The problem is that the "key" explaining the meaning of the symbols remains at the bottom.

How would I remove this please?

Reiterating, I just want a "New Posts" symbol and the words "new Posts", and a "locked symbol" and the words "Thread is locked"

thanks
