How can I change the default button images?

[Bethanymarie]

I have looked for a topic similar to this question but can't find it....How can you change the button images on the site from the defaults? I would like to make my own "New Topic" "reply" , etc buttons , but do not know how to replace them. I don't know how to find the images folder either, where the defaults are stored. Can anyone help me with this?

When you install your forum at, for example, http://www.bethanymarie.com/forums/, the images are in http://www.bethanymarie.com/forums/images/.

The buttons are in http://www.bethanymarie.com/forums/images/buttons/

Thank you so much for responding. For some reason, when I type that, I cannot find the file. Here is the link to my board...can you find it?

The images are in

http://www.preciousinfants.net/forums/images/

and

http://www.preciousinfants.net/forums/images/buttons/

For security reasons, there is a blank page added to each images folder to prevent the general public from browsing and downloading your buttons/images. That's why you see a blank page (index.html) instead of a list of files.

How did you get vBulletin installed on your website? Who set up the graphics?

If you have FTP software (FileZilla, WS-FTP, CuteFTP), you can login to your website and see the files that run your forum and get into the /images and /images/buttons/ folders and do what you need to do.

Your web provider probably has a File Manager control panel which you can also use to get into your web files.
