it doesn't work
i dunno why >o<''
i converted the icons to blp and imported them(BTN&DISBTN) to world editor
but it doesn't show when i use. not even after i reopen the world editor
Finally finding about some of the bots that are flooding the users online - bytespider apparently is a huge offender here - ignores robots.txt and comes in from a ton of different IPs
