For some resond the Hot Topics icon doesn't get displayed on my board.
In Admin Options it's on Yes and it should be displayed after 15 posts..
But it's the same old icon and some of the Topics are way over 15!

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hmm, talked to several 3.3 users and they all say the same thing, the Hot Topic icon doesn't show.

Yes, that's a bug.

Explanation:
In the ChkIsNew() function you will see this bit of code
if rs("T_REPLIES") >= intHotTopicNum and lcase(strHotTopic) = "1" Then
The code in red, isn't being set to True because the variable intHotTopicNum is a text field and you can't do a comparison between an integer "T_REPLIES" and a text field "intHotTopicNum". So you would need to convert "intHotTopicNum" to an integer so the comparison can be made.

Fix:
There are quite a few places you will need to edit. In forum.asp, line 470 and 475, in the ChkIsNew() function, change it to this(modified code is in red.):
Function ChkIsNew(dt)
    if ((CheckForUnModeratedPosts("TOPIC", Cat_ID, Forum_ID, Topic_ID) > 0) and AdminAllowed = 1) or (CheckForUnModeratedPosts("POSTAUTHOR", Cat_ID, Forum_ID, Topic_ID) > 0) then
	if Topic_Status <> 3 then
	     UnApprovedFound = "Y"
	     ChkIsNew =  "<img src='icon_folder_unmoderated.gif' height=15 width=15 border=0 hspace=0 alt='Post(s) Need Approved'>"
	elseif Topic_Status = 3 and (AdminAllowed = 1 or rs("T_AUTHOR") = MemberID) then
	     HeldFound = "Y"
             ChkIsNew =  "<img src='icon_folder_hold.gif' alt='Post is on hold' height=15 width=15 border=0>"
	end if
    elseif dt > Session(strCookieURL & "last_here_date") then
	if rs("T_REPLIES") >= cint(intHotTopicNum) and lcase(strHotTopic) = "1" Then
             ChkIsNew =  "<img src='icon_folder_new_hot.gif' height=15 width=15 border=0 hspace=0 alt='Hot Topic'>"
        else
             ChkIsNew =  "<img src='icon_folder_new.gif' height=15 width=15 border=0 hspace=0 alt='New Topic'>"
        end if
    elseif rs("T_REPLIES") >= cint(intHotTopicNum) and lcase(strHotTopic) = "1" Then
            ChkIsNew =  "<img src='icon_folder_hot.gif' height=15 width=15 border=0 hspace=0 alt='Hot Topic'>"
    else
            ChkIsNew = "<img src='icon_folder.gif' height=15 width=15 border=0 hspace=0>"
    end if
End Function
Then in active.asp, lines 408, change it to this(modified code in red):
elseif lcase(strHotTopic) = "1" and Topic_Replies >= cint(intHotTopicNum) Then
In pop_profile.asp, lines 259 and 265, change them to this(modified code in red):
if rs2("T_REPLIES") >= cint(intHotTopicNum) then
And in inc_functions.asp, in the chkIsNew(fDateTime) function, make the same changes, lines 858 and 864:
if rs("T_REPLIES") >= cint(intHotTopicNum) then
That should fix it.

This is caused by the change from CONFIG to CONFIG_NEW
In the old table a number of config-items were numeric values while they now are all strings.
It might be easier to use CInt() in config.asp instead, then all the MODS and all the other codeparts that might use them work.
