Hey :) i've been using seditio for some time now & just decided to take the plunge by converting over to Cotonti.

Not sure where to post this question but would the following be at all possible: Be able to have individual icons for subforums rather than the "same one for all" approach the default install comes with?

Main reason for asking is I run a World of Warcraft guild site & would like to have the class forums as subforums & the idividual class icons showing next to them!

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

try this:
yoursite/admin.php?m=forums&n=edit&id=1(click on some subforum name to enter its properties)
there you have an Icon field in which you can insert the link to the picture
and in the forum.topics.tpl insert
{FORUMS_SECTIONS_ROW_ICON}
in the :
<!-- BEGIN: FORUMS_SECTIONS_ROW_SECTION -->
....
<!-- END: FORUMS_SECTIONS_ROW_SECTION -->

{FORUMS_SECTIONS_ROW_CAT_ICON} is the category image, and {FORUMS_SECTIONS_ROW_SLAVE_ICON} doesnt work at all :)

been looking through the tags repository & cant find anything about subforum icons so guess i'll have to live with generic icons until something different is coded in.

Well, technically {FORUMS_SECTIONS_ROW_SLAVE_ICON} is present and the code seems to be correct. So you need to use that tag in FORUMS_SECTIONS_ROW_SECTION_SLAVES block. Make sure you have set icons appropriately in Administration => Forums => <Your section> => Icon (URL).
May the Source be with you!
