Do you have a screenshot?

[TimberFloorAu]

Nope, its 2 very very simple edits... and 1 image to upload.

Its not something we use on our forum, due to the fact we dont have Massive activity.

Try it and see :)

[Hornstar]

If anyone uses this i'd love to see what it looks like on your site.

[TimberFloorAu]

Would literally take you 90 seconds to try it out lol.

Its good if you have a very busy forum.

[TimberFloorAu]

Mod no longer supported

[adhmwagde]

good work ... but where is image folder ?

[TimberFloorAu]

yourwebsite.com/forum/images

basically the root folder of your forum.

Goto your forum, usually you will see, www.mysite.com/forum/ or www.mysite.com/forums/

Then image folder is in the directory forum or forums ( dependant on what you have )

If your still stuck..and maybe have a custom style.
A quick method to determine where your image will reside is to right click your forum logo. Click properties.
