This is about the Message Icons MOD, I'm thinking of modifying the code somehow so that I can take out the default column and having only the one column, but still having them display whether or not there are new posts. I just need to know where the code is that tells the browser whether or not to display the New Topic icon or the normal one... Anyone know?

In "default.asp", look for the following lines (appx 613-617):

		if dt > Session(strCookieURL & "last_here_date") and (ForumCount > 0 or ForumTopics > 0) then
			Response.Write	getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderNew,"New Posts","hspace=""0""") & "</a>"
		else
			Response.Write	getCurrentIcon(strIconFolder,"Old Posts","hspace=""0""") & "</a>"
		end if

Wrong file, CF

The code you're looking for is in forum.asp, Zim, beginning on line 482:
if Cat_Status <> 0 and Forum_Status <> 0 and Topic_Status <> 0 then
	if Topic_Sticky and strStickyTopic = "1" then 
		if Topic_LastPost > Session(strCookieURL & "last_here_date") then
			Response.Write	getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderNewSticky,"New Sticky Topic","hspace=""0""")
		else
			Response.Write	getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderSticky,"Sticky Topic","hspace=""0""")
		end if
	else
		' DEM --> Added code for topic moderation
		if Topic_Status = 2 then
			UnApprovedFound = "Y"
			Response.Write 	getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderUnmoderated,"Topic Not Moderated","hspace=""0""")
		elseif Topic_Status = 3 then
			HeldFound = "Y"
			Response.Write 	getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderHold,"Topic on Hold","hspace=""0""")
			' DEM --> end of code Added for topic moderation
		else
			Response.Write	ChkIsNew(Topic_LastPost)
		end if
	end if
else
	if ArchiveView <> "true" then
		if Cat_Status = 0 then
			strAltText = "Category Locked"
		elseif Forum_Status = 0 then
			strAltText = "Forum Locked"
		else
			strAltText = "Topic Locked"
		end if
	end if
	if ArchiveView = "true" then 
		Response.Write	getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderArchived,"Archived Topic","hspace=""0""")
	elseif Topic_LastPost > Session(strCookieURL & "last_here_date") then
		if Topic_Sticky and strStickyTopic = "1" then 
			Response.Write	getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderNewStickyLocked,strAltText,"hspace=""0""")
		else
			Response.Write	getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderNewLocked,strAltText,"hspace=""0""")
		end if
	else
		if Topic_Sticky and strStickyTopic = "1" then 
			Response.Write	getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderStickyLocked,strAltText,"hspace=""0""")
		else
			Response.Write	getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderLocked,strAltText,"hspace=""0""")
		end if
	end if
end if
And the ChkIsNew function is found in inc_func_chknew.asp.

Ok, thanks, but.... Shaggy, that code you posted, is it all supposed to have
if Topic_Sticky and strStickyTopic = "1" then
Response.Write getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderNewStickyLocked,strAltText,"hspace=""0""")
else
Response.Write getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderNewLocked,strAltText,"hspace=""0""")
end if

because you have that bit of code in there several times?

Ok, this code, would I need to use an if-then statement for each of the icons? Would I need also to repeat that code each time for each icon?

Also, in the readme for the MOD, it tells me to modify forum.asp with this change:

Look for this code: (at approx line #455)

tM_NAME = 13
tLAST_POST_AUTHOR_NAME = 14


replace it with this code:

tM_NAME = 13
tLAST_POST_AUTHOR_NAME = 14
tT_MSGICON = 15

Would such a change be needed if I am going to have only one column for the custom icons?
