Swordfish,
I was fiddling with adding some advertising at the bottom of the page in the desktop template of reboot. The copyright information will be going back on that template underneath the ad once I get back to it today.
Thank you for the location of the image sizing. I am going to adjust that tonight as well.
With the other part of the division forum and subforum question - would it be possible to php call the section you posted in place of the larger subforum section that is currently on the page? In essence, I would be swapping one call for php out for the other.
Don't know if it would work or not, just a quick thought on the subject.

Papa,
Thanks for checking that out for me. Out of curiosity - is there a preferred firewall plugin for wordpress that would not interfere with Simple:Press?

firewall plugin? doubt you have a plugin for that... or at least not a standalone plugin... most should work, sucuri is one that we use and gets nice reviews...
dont know of any offhand that do interfere but its possible... mod_security (not a plugin) is one that is horrible at false positives...

Papa,
I will definitely be adding Sucuri to the new version of the site that I am building. Thanks for that tip!

You're going to need to make a change to one of the template display functions in the SP theme you are using. Is that Reboot? I am not sure as you have removed our copyright and about sections.But you want the spGroupView template and need to locate the call to the display function sp_ForumIndexSubForums() which probably looks a bit like this:
<br />
sp_ForumIndexSubForums('unreadIcon=sp_SubForumUnreadIcon.png', __sp('Sub-Forums:'), __sp('Browse topics in %NAME%'));<br />
You need to add a nea argument which is iconWidth. This is currently, by default, set to 20 (pixels). So - if, for example, you wanted to make it 35 then you would add:
<br />
sp_ForumIndexSubForums('unreadIcon=sp_SubForumUnreadIcon.png&iconWidth=35', __sp('Sub-Forums:'), __sp('Browse topics in %NAME%'));<br />
which will do what you need.
I will need to think on the other one as that ainlt so easy - you would probably need some new display functions.
I found this section, made the change but it did not have the desired effect.
Something of interest I did notice - you mentioned the default being set to 20 but those icons are actually listed as 16x14. Don't know if that would be of any interest in you helping with this but in case it does I wanted to post it.

Ah... sorry. I have led you astray!
I now understand you are using the default sub-forum icon for all sub-forums. I made the false assumption that you were using custom icons and the sizing will only apply to them. To change the size of the default icon you would need to replace it with a bigger one to the size you prefer. Sorry about that.

Simple:Press is resizing these Icons for me. I uploaded one version of the team logos and it is definitely larger than what the subforums are showing (actual size is 100x100 I believe).
Let me go back and double check to make sure I placed your suggested coding in the right place. I'm pretty sure I got it right but it never hurts to take a second look.

I'll throw these 2 questions in while I am working on the subforum icons.
I noticed that when I login that I have to refresh the page to show that I am in fact, logged in. Is this something that can be corrected through a setting with Simple Press?
The other question would be about 'New Posts'. Is there a way to have a link to a page that would show all of the new posts since the last time a member checked in? It is without a doubt the most commonly used link on my current forums as members will use it to see all of the most recent discussion from every forum at once. The popup window has the information but an actual page would work much better considering the amount of traffic that I have and the large number of posts that will accumulate in a short period of time.

No, you dont log into simple press... you log into wordpress... we just put the wp form in the forum header... but logging in is all wp...
do you have any caching active?
you already have the unread posts lists for users... you can have it be a popup or a page... its the icon in the forum header below the quicklinks stuff (could vary by sp theme)...
see: https://simple-press.com/docum.....postsinfo/ for info on how to make popup vice page...

Papa,
No caching plugins but there could be something inherent in my theme. I'll have to look into it farther as I am still experiencing issues with new users receiving a confirmation email that does not work (404 page).
I gotta tell ya, I'm feeling pretty good about spending the money for the support and the plugins. You guys are on top of things and are extremely helpful.
