See my Classic Forum Homepage blog post for more details about this modification.
A version for the hawaii theme in CS2008 (not CS2008.5) is also available .
You may want to look at the path in your css over-rides. It doesn't match the documentation. Also, on this site, the group collapse and expand images don't show up either
Thanks for the pointer Navy1 - I've resovled both the issue in the download's readme and the group collapse / expand images on this site.
Alex,
I followed the instruction here and got a page not found. I logged onto the server locally and browsed to it and found the following:
Server Error in '/cs' Application.

the forums.master files is in the /themes/hawaii/forums folder. So I copied every files in the forums folder to the ACCustom folder and everything worked. Thanks
Hi nguyenpv1980,
All you would need to go is to copy the forums.Master from the themes/hawaii/forums to the theme/hawaii/ACCustom folder and then touch the web.config file and that would solve the problem.
Dat
Change the MasterPageFile to read ../forums/forums.master - no need to copy the forums.Master to the ACCustom folder.
I have also updated the download to include this fix.
Firstly, Alex you are awesome. Thanks for sharing this. I would like to change the forum status icons from .gif to .png but cannot figure out where to modify the filepath for the status icons.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@PSBrice unfortunantly the ForumStatusIcon control is hardcoded to use .gif.
Is it possible to apply this format to the subforums as well.... when you add subforums they revert back to the new style.
Yes it would be possible but I haven't implemented that. For that you'll need to edit a second file - /themes/THEME/forums/threadlist.aspx
