Remove Alt Text for Status Icons IPB

I need to remove the alt text for them in IPB as theyre really of no benefit to our SEO. Especially how they repeat for every forum added.

In my template I have found this which is it but theres no mentioned alt text in there, does this mean the alt text is hard coded?

Code:

<a id='forum_img_{$forum_data['id']}' href="{parse url="app=forums&module=forums&section=markasread&marktype=forum&forumid={$forum_data['id']}&returntoforumid={$this->request['f']}&i=1" base="public"}" class='forum_marker'>
{parse replacement="{$forum_data['img_new_post']}"}
</a>

I am gathering that:

Code:

                                       {parse replacement="{$forum_data['img_new_post']}"}

Is generating the image tag and also its alt text, does anyone have any idea on how I can remove the alt texts from all of them or at least for the ones that read "Unread Forum".

Thank you

Alt tags aren't really for SEO, more for usability.

I searched thru all the templates I thought they'd be in also, and didn't come up with anything for you either

I have got it all sorted now, they were in the languages Yeah but in this case I had about 20 of the alts reading "Unread Forum" and Im not keen on having that many alts saying the word "forum" over and over I just edited it rather than remove them to "Unread".
