How do I add a banner to a forum title?

[Paul O]

Hello everyone,

I have been searching for hours on this, but haven't found a solution as yet (maybe I am searching for the wrong terms).

I am using vb 3.8.5 and want to add a banner (or an image really) to the forum listings. Is this possible? Screenshot mockup below of what I would like to achieve. Any help very much appreciated on this.

Thanks!

Paul.

The easiest way is you can add HTML to the forum description box in forum manager. So just add an html <img> tag to the banner and it will show up where you want... you can center it with basic HTML.

Perfect! Thanks!

BOP5 Already answered but yeah its as simple as doing this

Image and Link

<center><a href="link/to/board"><img src="path/to/image.png"></a></center>

No link:

<center><img src="path/to/image.png"></center>

In the section description.

Also be careful on custom skins in case the image is to big.

Using the above code the banner is positioned under the forum title, centered horizontally. How to get the banner to the right of the forum title, so the title stays centered vertically?

May be a little trial and error but get rid of the <center> tags...

Make the image code either at the beginning or end of the other text-

Try maybe

<div style="float:right;"><img src="path/to/image.jpg" alt="alt text" /></div>

See how close to centered that is and may need some inline css to get it vertically centered better.

Thanks but the code you provided doesn't do it. I don't know how to adjust it.

I'm looking for the forum title to stay as it was before adding the banner, centered vertically in the table and aligned to the left. The banner should be to the right of it, centered vertically as well. And centered horizontally in the space to the right of the title.

It depends on the <tr> and <td> tags as to which one you put the banner in, what the set width is for them...etc

Can I please get a more specific answer? This would be the code to put in the "description" field when editing the forum. It's under the title field. Unless it can't be done to look the way I want through "description". In that case how do I add the banner in that location?

My code was supposed to go in the description field. Maybe you can give us a link or screen shot to see what it looks like now?
