Icons for individual forums on index page?

[Noosphere]

Apologies if I've missed an obvious existing mod for this, but ...

Looking for a modification that allows individual image icons for each forum category on my forum index page.

Ideally it would be a separate column (identical to the column already in place with the blue/gold ?new post? buttons---which will remain in place), to provide a clean, consistent border between the image icon and the text in the category link/description next to it.

Note: I already have something similar on my PhotoPost gallery HERE (though w/o the "new post" buttons).

The new image icon column would be between the blue/gold ?new post? buttons at far left and the forum link/description field.

Preferences

- images can be of different sizes
- admin can set height/width maximum
- images can be uploaded directly from computer AND/OR dedicated filepath
- can toggle on/off

Any feedback/guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
