Ah, ok. Nice. One more thing for now. Just reply when you have time.
I've noticed that when using the default forum markers, they change to blue when there is a new post. That's perfect. However, when you create a new forum, IPB gives you the option to use a custom forum marker. When I do use a custom marker, there isn't currently an automatic adjustment that fades them or gives them any transparency when there are no new posts. So, when there are new posts, you can't tell by the forum marker. I know it's possible to do because I have another theme installed that this works on. In other words, I upload my custom marker in full color but it automatically displays as faded or grayed out until there's a new post. When there's a new post, it appears in full color. Is this something that would be much trouble to modify?
