Extract the package onto your desktop and open the modification file in notepad, then delete it all and replace it with this:

You should be able to see this thread here:

http://forum.pctweakr.com/index.php/topic,320.msg1593.html#msg1593

Download the attachment it will install on RC3. I still have to figure the bug out for the redirect boards but this will install.

I too want to use this mod except I am using a 'custom theme based upon default'. How do I parse these files into it when I can't find some of the replacement .php files?

I did as the readme told me to. I am using a 'custom theme based on default'. I added the folders the readme said into my default theme directory and added the jpeg, however I still don't see any changes made on my site.

There are no files to edit. Make a folder named icons in your theme directory...in that make other files named the board id number. In there, for each board you will put an on.png, off.png and an on2.png.....that's it.

Like this:

forum/Themes/default/icons
forum/Themes/default/icons/board_id/on.png
forum/Themes/default/icons/board_id/on2.png
forum/Themes/default/icons/board_id/off.png

Replace "default" with your themes name and "board_id" with the id of the board. One folder for each board, three .png's in each

You must create the icons folder. Same goes for your custom theme.

When at your board index, then you click on a board, this will be at the end of your link:
board=29.0

29.0 is the board index. Now obviously that number will range from board to board. And you do not put the .0 at the end if I recall correctly on your folder name.
