vB4 Status Icon problems

I made a custom image for my status icon. I uploaded a folder with the appropriate image names. The image file names where forum_link-48, forum_old-48, forum_new_lock, forum_new-48, forum_old_lock-48. After I uploaded everything to my server, I went to the styles and templates. I than went to imgdir_statusicon and typed in the correct path. It all worked as my custom status icons where showing and working. But once I did this, this gave me issues under the user profile field. When I would click on my user name at the top right corner, I would click on that to get into my user field. The problem is that it would say the name twice. Where it would say the username than the green circle, it did this. Example: "username username" is online, with no green circle. I checked the path of it and it showed that there was an extra '/' for the status icon. So i went back to the status icon to fix this and removed the trailing '/' at the end of the path i gave it. This is still giving me problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
