Icons don't appear in forum

[TheWatcher]

On the left side of the table showing the list of threads under a forum, the text "id="thread_statusicon_7" alt="" border="" />" appears. I don't know how to remove, edit or alter this text and I need it gone!
Thanks

I suspect a style problem. Try to reproduce it on a default style:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> [Add New Style]

Create a new style with no parent. Then click that style's name in the Style Manager to view your forum with that style. If the problem goes away on the default style then you know it's a style problem at which point you need to systematically revert your custom templates to isolate the problem.
