Are you saving them in the same format? For instance, .JPG, .PNG, .GIF. Case sensitivity is also an issue.

Yes, I even copied the original icon and replaced it with a modified version

If you restore the original icons, do they work?

yes, I can also use other default icons if i copy and rename them, could it be that I need to use something else to edit the Gif files?

Nothing wrong with the image, displays fine in Core.  Are you replacing a gif with a gif?  Are you uploading them to correct directory?

yes same file type and same directory
EDIT: Ok Its working now, for some stupid reason the file owner was copied with my gif files so everytime i copied something into my smf folder it had the wrong owner, opened terminal and used chown www-data:www-data and now its working :D

Thanks for the explanation! I visibly had the same issue somehow, but it's all solved now. I wonder why this happens...

Hi, I have also faced the same problem. I also need the solution of this problem since I'm very new in this forum. I 'm working on different image post production platform for my image editing work. Thanks for raising such important question and solutions as well.
