You need to go to the administration panel, Form, custom icons then upload your custom icons, then go to Manage Group and Forms panel an edit group and change your icons there. Hope that is understandable.

not sure which one you mean? group, forum or topic view? or all…

Tin Can explained how to change to a custom icon, but if you really want to remove, basically in your sp theme, for each view, you will see a template tag call to display the icon…simply remove the template tag…

Mr. Papa, Could expand on your response – for us newbies? Please? Are you referring to code? Getting into the code and deleting something (the template tag?)

Thanks! Joe

in the sp theme you are using, and we highly recommend you dont use our themes, but one of your one so you dont lose any changes (http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-theme/), go to the template file directory (templates)…

now you didnt specifiy on which page view (ie group, forum , topic, etc) you wanted to remove the icon from… so will walk you through on the group view… find the spGroupView.php template file and edit it…  and find this code

                        sp_ColumnStart(‘tagClass=spColumnSection spLeft&width=6%&height=55px’);
                            sp_ForumIndexIcon(‘tagClass=spRowIcon spLeft’);
                        sp_ColumnEnd();

and delete it… and the forum icon will be deleted…  now, you may want to adjust the widths of the other column there as that column was allocated 6% of width…

you can do the same thing on forum and topic view template files if you want… template tags to delete with be slightly different…

so in 5.0, being theme driven, most appearance changes are controlled with template tags (ie function calls) within the template files…
