Hopefully this isn't a stupid question, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to fix this.

I've recently set up one of the links in a forum category to function as a redirect URL. Now as result, instead of having a normal "no new posts" or "new posts" icon on the left, it has the text "<{BR_REDIRECT}>" in that place, which looks bad and stretches the tables for that category. Is there anyway to change this to just show a normal icon like the rest of the forums?

Thanks.

What skin are you using? This skin probably has the Redirecting Forum image missing. We'll see if we can replace it if you provide us with your skin.

Edit

I see that you are using a custom skin. What you have to do now is go to:

Admin CP > Images Only

Now scroll down to the 'Redirecting Forum' image. Please compy & paste the code from that section.

Yeah, I started with the "Grayscale" theme, and made changes to have it match my main website.

I just went to Admin CP>Skins & Templates>Images Only (that's the first thing I checked, actually), but there's no entry for Redirecting Forum in the list.

Are you sure it's not there? It is for me.. It's in this area:

That's weird, because it's not there on mine. Mine's actually in a different order even (Last Post Choice comes before New Reply Marker). I've scrolled through the page several times, and tried a text search (Edit>Find) to make sure, but it's definitely not there.

Nevermind, I actually found a way to get it fixed. I went into the Manage Templates section, and finally found that the area containing that info was "+-- Board Index Redirect Forum Row", under "Board Index Sections". I replaced the "<{BR_REDIRECT}>" text with the image I wanted, and it's working fine now. Still have no idea why the option won't show up in the Admin CP, but at least it's working now. Thanks anyway!
