blaaskaak Registered: 08/30/06 Posts: 1256 Loc: Breda, NL	it isn't in a template, it's in a library. edit /libs/html.inc.php Php Code: $new_flasher = "<a href=\"" . make_ubb_url("ubb=viewmessages", "", false) . "\"><img src= \"{$config['BASE_URL']}/images/{$style_array['general']}/newpm.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"$lang_string\" title=\"$lang_string\" /></a>"; This line you can find in that file, and you could replace newpm.gif with a new filename. _________________________
