• Replaces a thread's icon once a thread has reached the amount of replies you've specified
  
• Option to utilize different icons per theme through the use of a template modification
  

[Brian]

Specify the amount of replies a thread is required to have for its icon to change to a hot topic icon in the Reply Count field.

Specify the URL to each image you'd like for each type of icon, or leave these at the default values to use the default ProBoards icons.

For users with multiple themes that use different thread icons on each theme follow the instructions below on any theme you wish to use different images on.

• Go to Themes > Theme Manager and click on your theme's name to enter its settings. On the following page click on the Images tab. Add all 6 of your images to the Custom Theme Images section and click on each of their pencil icons to give them the following names, pressing Enter to save after each one:
  
  
  Hot Topic
  thread_hot
  
  Locked
  thread_locked
  
  Sticky
  thread_sticky
  
  Announcement
  thread_announce
  
  Locked + Sticky
  thread_locked_sticky
  
  Locked + Announcement
  thread_locked_announce
  
  
  
  
  
• Go to Themes > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper and add a new line before the closing </head> tag. Place this on the new line:
  

  <script type="text/javascript">
  if(!pbp)
      var pbp = {};
  pbp.hot_topics_s = {};
  pbp.hot_topics_s.image = {
      hot: "$[theme.image.thread_hot.src]",
      locked: "$[theme.image.thread_locked.src]",
      sticky: "$[theme.image.thread_sticky.src]",
      announce: "$[theme.image.thread_announce.src]",
      locked_sticky: "$[theme.image.thread_locked_sticky.src]",
      locked_announce: "$[theme.image.thread_locked_announce.src]"
  };
  </script>
