Forum Category Icons (Advanced)
Developer Last Online: Sep 2012 
This is a hack that will add icons to your forum categories on the forum home page.
History: I was the originator of this hack back in the vBulletin 1.x days and continued this in vb 3.7.x. I have had numerous requests to port this to vb 4.x.x so here you are. Please click install if you want support for this mod and to encourage me to continue adding features! Enjoy! You can find nice icons here, here and here. Thanks to LatinoCheats for this link. Changelogs: 1.2.0:
1.2.1:
1.2.2:
1.2.3:
1.2.4:
2.0.0
Upgrades: For those upgrading just make sure when you import the product you select "Allow Overwrite". You will also need to revert your templates (only for users of version 1.2.2 or earlier) and then follow the instructions as outlined in the install.html file. Note: Before you ask, yes this works with all browsers. (Tested on FF, IE8, IE7, Chrome, Safari and Opera)  IMPORTANT! If you use the "Auto Template" feature of this mod and it doesn't work then you MUST do the manual template edits outlined in the install.html. This plugin was created using a default vbulletin style. If you like this mod than please nominate for "MOTM". Donations are gladly accepted!

Nice work. If there were an "Add URL?" option to allow for the icon to become "clickable" and behave as a hyperlink I'd be highly interested.

Also, I'm specifying that I want my 90x30px icons to be allowed to be 90px in the mod (you say the default is 48)...however it's not observing that. I set it at 90px, I hit save, and it remains at 48px. issue?

recall, if you currently double click a forum icon (originals) it will mark all new posts in that forum as read. You should add this (or replicate the original function) to your mod.

New version just released. I made changes to provide more granular image sizing (width and height) and added css positioning relative to top so the icon can be centered when using smaller than 48x48px icons. All images will work with the icon size not like earlier versions.
Mark forums read will be coming in a later version. No members have liked this post.

good changes. I'll updated in a sec.
also, noticed that the icons work when looking at the full forum index, like here:  but if you bring up an individual forum category (in this case, teamplayer media), the icon's aren't shown for the forum categories.

Here is your fix...
Open the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template ############################################################################# Find: #############################################################################
############################################################################# Replace with: #############################################################################
Was too easy to just let it go... No members have liked this post.

Also, what about opacity in regards to read/unread posts? That's one of the other functions of those icons (like doubleclicking to mark as read) that most people are going to want. I know my users are already asking about it. Please add such an ability. like this guy's mod: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=235240

This was a nice mod and still is but with the mass template edits now I am not sure I want this.

As for the read/unread I need to figure out what vb is doing and add this functionality, it will come just need to spend some time on it. No members have liked this post.
