CMS Difficulty Getting Statusicons To Display in Widget
 

I created a new General Search Widget which I configured to essentially display a forum list on my home page, and that works fine. I added the following code with the intention of adding the forum statusicons to that list:
Code:
http://vb.ma7room.com/{vb:stylevar i...usicon}-48.png
When the little red X's appeared, I viewed the source and got this:
HTML Code:
<img src=span style="color:#0000FF""images/statusicon/forum_-48.png"/span class=span style="color:#0000FF""forumicon"/span id=span style="color:#0000FF""forum_statusicon_248"/span alt=span style="color:#0000FF"""/span />
It's not catching the (vb:raw forum.statusicon) bit in the code, which spits out "new" or "old" in order to pick the appropriate statusicon.

Obviously I'm missing something, can someone help please? TY :)
