You would have to manually edit the files to do that. I believe they only show up on the forum.asp and topic.asp pages. So thos would be the files to edit.
You would basically take out the text and image code that is there and replace it with your graphic.

You would need to edit the files and replace the text link with just an image link.

for example, this is the PostNewTopic() sub in forum.asp:


sub PostNewTopic() 
%>
<font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>">
<% if rsCStatus("CAT_STATUS") = 0 or rsFStatus("F_STATUS") = 0 then 
	if (AdminAllowed = 1) then %>
		<a href="post.asp?method=Topic&FORUM_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID")%>&CAT_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("CAT_ID")%>&Forum_Title=<% =ChkString(Request.QueryString("FORUM_Title"),"urlpath") %>"><img src="icon_folder_locked.gif" alt="Category Locked" height=15 width=15 border=0></a> <a href="post.asp?method=Topic&FORUM_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID")%>&CAT_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("CAT_ID")%>&Forum_Title=<% =ChkString(Request.QueryString("FORUM_Title"),"urlpath") %>">New Topic</a>
<%	else %>
		<img src="icon_folder_locked.gif" alt="Category Locked" height=15 width=15 border=0> Category Locked
<%	end if 
	else 
		if rsFStatus("F_STATUS") <> 0 then %>
			<a href="post.asp?method=Topic&FORUM_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID")%>&CAT_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("CAT_ID")%>&Forum_Title=<% =ChkString(Request.QueryString("FORUM_Title"),"urlpath") %>"><img src="icon_folder_new_topic.gif" alt="New Topic" height=15 width=15 border=0></a> <a href="post.asp?method=Topic&FORUM_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID")%>&CAT_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("CAT_ID")%>&Forum_Title=<% =ChkString(Request.QueryString("FORUM_Title"),"urlpath") %>">New Topic</a>
	<%	else %>
			<img src="icon_folder_locked.gif" alt="FORUM Locked" height=15 width=15 border=0> Forum Locked
	<%	end if 
	end if %>
</font>
<%
end sub

You would change it to this:


sub PostNewTopic() 
%>
<font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>">
<% if rsCStatus("CAT_STATUS") = 0 or rsFStatus("F_STATUS") = 0 then 
	if (AdminAllowed = 1) then %>
		<a href="post.asp?method=Topic&FORUM_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID")%>&CAT_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("CAT_ID")%>&Forum_Title=<% =ChkString(Request.QueryString("FORUM_Title"),"urlpath") %>"><img src="YOUR_NEW_TOPIC_ICON.gif" alt="Category Locked" height=15 width=15 border=0></a>
<%	else %>
		<img src="YOUR_CATEGORY_LOCKED_ICON.gif" alt="Category Locked" height=15 width=15 border=0>
<%	end if 
	else 
		if rsFStatus("F_STATUS") <> 0 then %>
			<a href="post.asp?method=Topic&FORUM_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID")%>&CAT_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("CAT_ID")%>&Forum_Title=<% =ChkString(Request.QueryString("FORUM_Title"),"urlpath") %>"><img src="YOUR_NEW_TOPIC_ICON.gif" alt="New Topic" height=15 width=15 border=0></a>
	<%	else %>
			<img src="YOUR_FORUM_LOCKED_ICON.gif" alt="FORUM Locked" height=15 width=15 border=0>
	<%	end if 
	end if %>
</font>
<%
end sub

you will probably need to change the height and width as well. If you just want to use the default height and width of the icon, remove the height=15 and width=15 from the img tag.
