"New" icon next to chatroom link... |

Okay, so you know how when a forum has a new post, you can assign a new post image to show up to the left of the forum name? That is fine and well, but it
also shows up any time someone is in the chat room. This looks kind of weird on my board, because my new posts image actually says "New Posts", and
I would rather have the chat room one have a different (or NO) image that says something like "Chat Active" or "Join Us!" or something.
Can this be accomplished? |

Hi Fyoosh
. If you want the image not to appear by the chat room you could go into your display settings and change the Chat display layout to "user
names" instead of "user count".
What that will do is show a list of the names in the chatroom, so you would be able to tell when people are in there. No new icon shows up then. |

The board I admin is MBA otherwise I would supply a link, but I already do have it set to display the usernames of those in chat. That part works just fine,
but I still get the new posts image whenever anyone is chatting. It's not THAT huge of a deal, but I would rather it either just not be there, or allow to
have another image for the chatroom. I tried making another skin that has a different icon and setting it just for the chat forum, but since it isn't
"really" a forum, it doesn't work
Okay, I took a screenshot of the area in question:

Ok
. If you add this to the bottom of your CSS:
#dir-10 .first .icon-unread { display: none; } That should turn off the icon img only in the first entry of the first category. So it should work fine unless you move your chatroom. |

Cool, thanks, I will try that! We don't plan on moving the chatroom anytime in the near future.
As an aside, can this code be extended to where instead of turning the icon off, a different one can be displayed? Just out of curiosity, of course

I don't know of a way to do it without making all the others replaced too. I mean I could put another image in the spot as a background, but it would just
show up all the time...not just when people were inside.
