I'm enhancing the graphical qualities of my Snitz site for a bit, but I encountered the following problems:

1) I've made a complete new set of folder-icons for my website (files like icon_folder.gif, icon_folder_new.gif etc) but I encounter the following problem: my new icons are 15x27 pixels and apparently somewhere in the asp it says "Icons shall not exceed 15x15!" so my icons get horribly compressed and disfigured... Is there a way to reset these dimensions?

2) I've added images to each Topic-title to spice it up a little, but if I code it like: "Open this topic now and wisdom will be thine share! {img=left}enlightenment.gif{ /img=left}" (but of course with [] in stead of {})the image gets displayed underneath the text instead of left of the text. Same thing if I use [img=right], however short the actual text, the img is one line below the text, which makes it look very amateuristic. Is there a way to change this without actually having to write in a complete new column?

1) Have a look in inc_iconfiles.asp

2) Got linkage to illustrate the problem?

Well everything is on an offline testsite so thats gonna be a bit of a problem...
I made a screenie tho and moderated it in photoshop to show you what I want it to look like.

This is how it looks at the moment.
This is how I hope it will look soon :)

You can change the values in inc_iconfiles.asp...

Have a at the code that parses the [img] tags in inc_func_common.asp; you'll need to change the HTML that they are replaced by so that they are floated to the left/right rather than aligned either side.

I'm afraid I am more of a graphics guy then a programmer... Can I ask you to elaborate on this one?
Oh btw, the forum is online now and can be seen here!

Alright, I did a little research and tried the following:
In inc_func_common.asp I replaced lines 1183 and 1193:

Original:
ImgTags(3,1,1) = "[ img=right]"
ImgTags(3,2,1) = "[ /img=right]"
ImgTags(3,1,2) = "<img align=""right"" src="""
ImgTags(3,2,2) = """ id=""right"" border=""0"">"

ImgTags(5,1,1) = "[ img=left]"
ImgTags(5,2,1) = "[ /img=left]"
ImgTags(5,1,2) = "<img align=""left"" src="""
ImgTags(5,2,2) = """ id=""left"" border=""0"">"


My version:
ImgTags(3,1,1) = "[ img=right]"
ImgTags(3,2,1) = "[ /img=right]"
ImgTags(3,1,2) = "<img style=""float: right; padding-left: 5px"" src="""
ImgTags(3,2,2) = """ id=""right"" border=""0"">"

ImgTags(5,1,1) = "[ img=left]"
ImgTags(5,2,1) = "[ /img=left]"
ImgTags(5,1,2) = "<img style=""float: left; padding-right: 5px"" src="""
ImgTags(5,2,2) = """ id=""left"" border=""0"">"


This doesn't work however, nothing changes in the way the images are displayed. I think I know why too: for the float function to work, the img and the text need to be in the same tags.
Example: <P><IMG SRC="nicecellphone.gif" STYLE="float: left; padding-right: 5px;">And you can make calls with it as well!</P>
This obviously will not be the case here...

Is the only solution left changing the whole forum from forum code to html?

Like so right?
	ImgTags(3,1,1) = "[ img=right]"
 	ImgTags(3,2,1) = "[ /img=right]"
 	ImgTags(3,1,2) = "<img style=""display: inline; float: right; padding-left: 5px"" src="""
 	ImgTags(3,2,2) = """ id=""right"" border=""0"">"

I tried it but unfortunately nothing happens visualy...

ok, try adding the image tag infront of the text rather than after it
