SMF 2.1 RC4 I have two live links in the header that I added. I would like to change the ? to a different icon. How can I do this.

https://theover50goldengroup.net/index.php last two buttons.

It is in a sprite image: https://theover50goldengroup.net/Themes/christmas/images/icons/main_icons_sprite.png

You'll need to edit the part of the sprite where the image is with your own image. This is how 2.1 does most of it's images. Click the link and you'll see it is the first image on the top left.

Any idea the location?

The location of the directory for the file? If so, look at the link.

If you mean the exact location of the image on the sprite. Again, click the link and look at the top left of the image...it is the very first image. Here's the css code you need to find for it:

.main_icons::before {
    content: '';
    width: 16px;
    height: 16px;
    display: inline-block;
    background: url(../images/icons/main_icons_sprite.png) no-repeat -5px -5px / 260px auto;
    vertical-align: middle;
}
Remember, if you wish to edit css files you should always uncheck "Minimize CSS and JavaScript files" while editing files or you will get incorrect line numbers and things will not work as expected. Go to Admin -> Configuration -> Features and Options -> General and you'll find it. Leaving it unchecked will only affect the speed of your site, maybe. But there will not be a huge speed difference.

All I want to do is change one image to another image. Looks impossible to do.

Actually, it's quite easy if you know how to copy and paste one image onto another using almost any image editing software. You'll need to find the icon that you want to replace it with that is roughly the same size as the "?" icon, not the entire sprite. You'll need icons such as FamFamFam Icons:

Or IconArchive:

If you already have the icon post it here and I'll do it for you if you don't know how.

I just wish to change the 2 icons of the ? to maybe an arrow, anything but the ?.

Ok, then do a search and find the arrows or something else you like and I can help you.

You will have to resize the image.

Thanks Steve. I made the changes, but still shows the same? in the two buttons.
Do I need to make other changes also, else where.

Had to add the file to sprite_hd.png also.
Works great now.
Thanks.

Oh yes! I forgot all about that. LMAO
