PHP Code:

if ($show['dropdownicons'])

HTML Code:
<td width="12%" nowrap="nowrap"><label for="rb_iconid_0"><input type="radio" name="iconid" value="0" id="rb_iconid_0" tabindex="1" onclick="swap_posticon(null)" $iconchecked />$vbphrase[no_icon] </label></td> $posticonbits

<if condition="$show['dropdownicons']"> function changeImage(selVal) { if (selVal != 0) { document.getElementById('posticonimage').src = selVal; } else { document.getElementById('posticonimage').src = 'clear.gif'; } } </if>
HTML Code:
<option value="$iconpath"$iconselect>$alttext</option>
Now if you ever want to turn this off and use the old way of viewing post icons, then just change $show['dropdownicons'] = 1; in includes/functions_newpost.php to $show['dropdownicons'] = 0; (basically just change 1 to 0.)I hope you enjoy this hack
