Hi all,

We just upgraded from 3.something to 4.2. We had different header images for each of our subforums using a conditional in the header template:

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/logo$forumid.gif" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" />

This doesn't work now and I have searched high and low for a way to do this now. The webmaster who originally implemented this is no longer with us.

Thanks for any help you can give, you all are amazing.

....oh well, thanks anyway.

What I ended up doing is creating different images for each subforum and inserting them into a global header ad in the ad manager, then restricting that ad to only show in whichever forum I set. Probably not the "right" way to do it, but it works great and was easy as pie.

We like pie.

You can also use the following html in your forums description :

<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/image-path/xxx.png" border="0" width="xxx" height="xxx"alt="xxx" title="xxx" /></p>
<br />

Replace the xxx with your information , use png's to have a transparent background and you are set.
