Ok im kinda new with vbulletin, i recently installed a new skin on a 3.5.4 and i want to change the post icons, (next to each forum there is an icon saying if there is a new post, no new posts or if forums are closed etc)

well how do i go about changing these things...

Any help/tutorials would be appreciated.

Also i would like to stick a new banner on the forums, i read you stick it on the bottom of the breadcrumb template well i uploaded it to image shack and did a little html but it didnt work :(

I heard it says you need to know xtml, well i dont know.. so if someone can help me code that would be awesoem!

If possible canyou do the xtml and the bit where image link goes, can you simply put "your image here"

Thanks !

To change the icon simply find the post icons inside your images folder and change the images.

To add the banner... you should be able to add code to the navbar or header templates. You'd need to post what you added for anyone to say why it isn't working.

And no, you don't really need to know xml, you must know html but xml is optional unless what you are trying to do requires it.

This is what i put at the bottom of the navbar/header templates

<img border="1" alt="" src="www.mybannergoeshere.com/jpeg" />

When i insert that nothing happens :(

src="www.mybannergoeshere.com/jpeg"

When i insert that nothing happens :( Are you using the actual image url in your code? It should be something like...
<img border="1" alt="" src="http://www.yourdomain.com/images/filename.jpg" /> That's a typical file path, you should substitute your actual info.

haha thats was just an example of the URl but the banner i typically upload to imageshack...is that fine?

vBulletin has if statements in the templates. You may have simply placed the code into an if statement that isn't visible to you with your account. Be certain the image code isn't between <if condition="blah"> and </if>

Any further help would really require seeing the whole Navigation and breadcrumb template.But posting entire files is against the vBulletin license agreement.
