I am a little confused as to where to do this step:
Add $forum[forumhomeicon] in your forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
to display on all your forums, and sub forums.

I know where the templates are, but where should I place the $forum[forumhomeicon]

Where ever you add the $forum[forumhomeicon]. Thats where your icon will appear. Treat that variable as <img src="" border="0" alt="" />. Because thats whats stored inside $forum[forumhomeicon].

Ah, ok. but but I add it to the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template no matter where I seem to put it it jacks my display up. Here is my current working template. Would you mind showing me where I need to insert that piece of code to make it look like your image? Sorry I am such a n00b.

Code:
<tr align="center">
	<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>
	<td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]">
		<div>
			<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>
			<if condition="$show['browsers']"><span class="smallfont">(<phrase 1="$forum[browsers]">$vbphrase[x_viewing]</phrase>)</span></if>
		</div>
		<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
		<if condition="$show['forumsubscription']"><div class="smallfont"><strong><a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&amp;f=$forum[forumid]">$vbphrase[unsubscribe_from_this_forum]</a></strong></div></if>
		<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
	</td>
	<td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap">$forum[lastpostinfo]</td>
	<td class="alt1">$forum[threadcount]</td>
	<td class="alt2">$forum[replycount]</td>
	<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
	<td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont">$forum[moderators]&nbsp;</div></td>
	</if>
</tr>

You enter the IMG info when your editing your forums in the Admincp. Pretend you want to edit a forum title or a forum description. It should be just underneath that. Also, to get it to look like my screenshot, you would need to mock up some HTML. I was feeling nice tonight so I edited my first post with a little tutorial on how to get the image like the screenshots. Also updated the screenshots as well.
