I'm kind of a newbie... How is it more organized? If it is better in some way, I would probably install it.

Just curious...

[ChrisBaktis]

Can we add the images on the Forum Home page?

I have a question... does this let us select them for only certain ones? or does this do it for all of them so each one has to have one?

================================================== =====

to display on all your forums, and sub forums.
================================================== =====

what does this mean?

regards :ermm:

[Logikos]

Add $forum[forumhomeicon] in your forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template to display on all your forums, and sub forums.

[quanvo81]

My other styles work so fine when I edited the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
But with my most favourite style I can't make it work because my forumhome_forumbit_level1_post look like this and it's so difference to other templates.
