Adding Custom Post Icons

Adding custom post icons to Lunarfall is actually not much different from adding to SMF2.1.

First you need to enable the custom icons, for that you need to navigate to: Admin > Forum > Smileys and Message Icons > Settings and enable Enable customized message icons.

After enabling the icons you can switch back to Admin > Forum > Smileys and Message Icons > Message Icons > Add New Icon

Before adding your icon to your SMF installation you need to put a physical file to /Themes/default/images/post folder. If you want to use brand icons in your custom message icons you need to do something little extra. So to add "ambulance" and "youtube" icons... You need to create empty png files named ambulance and youtube fab.

You can simply create empty file via text manager and save as the required icons name with png on its end.

In this example we are going to add two icons, one is ambulance and one is youtube (brand icon).
