Just a couple of questions:
1) How do I change the icon next to the forum name, both initially and for when there is a new post? On this site the icons I am talking about is the artists pallet / buoyancy ring / jigsaw puzzle piece / hammer and spanner icons etc.
2) How do I change how the links look at the top of the forums, the standard look (on my site) is that they are stacked one below the other and just text on the background, I like the look on this site where they are next to each other horizontally with a graphic behind them. On this page the links I am talking about are where it says 'Home | Support Forum | Simple:Press 5 Theme Topics'.
If you could tell me where to find the code to change and which bits to change I would be very grateful.
Many thanks in advance!

icon next to a forum name... you can upload your own custom icon... forum - forums - custom icons... then edit the forum you want to change and select the icons... you can also change our the group and topic ones too...
you can either have the breadscrumbs in tree format or flat...
see:

and
http://codex.simple-press.com/.....eadcrumbs/
to make them look like here is just css styling on the flat ones... there are several topics in this forum where we walked folks through that css customization... so try a search... come back if you cant find them...

you can either replace the icons that come with your sp theme or you can upload custom icons...
for the latter, see forum - forums - custom icons where you can upload new ones... then go to forum - forums - manage groups and forums and edit each group or forum and select to use the custom uploaded icon...

Great thanks for that.. 
Do you have any idea what size the icons are..? and how i may put a space between the icon and the first letter of the forum name..?

the icons can be whatever size you want... the default ones in our themes are 32px x 32px...
you must have a small content width allocated in your wp theme to the forum... take a look at the spGroupView.php template file of your sp theme (as always make sure you have your own theme and dont edit one of ours to keep it upgrade proof)... look for
sp_ColumnStart('tagClass=spColumnSection spLeft&width=6%&height=55px');
sp_ForumIndexIcon('tagClass=spRowIcon spLeft');
sp_ColumnEnd();
the width=6% controls the column width... just increase it to the spacing you like... NOTE, you will need to decrease the other columns below it a similar amount...
