You see that empty space on the left side of my board, right next to the google ad that sits below the navigation bar? I want to put a small square ad next to the google ad, but how would I code it so where it'd sit beside the google ad, and not above or below it?

Also does anyone know how I could get rounded corners on my board?

Lastly, how can one achieve getting an image beside each category link? i.e. Strictly Horror, Exclusive Boards, etc?

To post the ad in the "empty" space you'll need to add it to your custom sidebar... I don't really know anything about your sidebar since I never used a sidebar mod but somewhere you can add it like you did the other advertisements presumably.

To get it lower on the page a "quick and dirty" way would just be to add multiple blank lines <br /> in the HTML to push it down as far as you need.

Rounded corners is a CSS trick, I don't know the details personally but you can find lots of info if you google for "css rounded corners"

The image for each category there is a mod for that: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=179596

HOWEVER in my opinion it is easier to just add an <img> tag to your forum description in forum manager for each forum.

So go to forum manager, edit the forum of your choice, and before your description text add something like:

<img src="/images/yourpic.gif" border="0" align="left" />

Customize the path and file name to your needs.

Okay your suggestion on the category images worked but the images always end up below the category link, not beside it. How can I fix this? Also do you know anything about widening threads? Because some of the text in my threads seems to get cut off on the left side in particular. See example below...

Yeah I guess the manual edit will always put it under the link, if you need it next to it try that mod.

As for your thread cutoff it's a bug in your style- if you didn't create it yourself the style author would probably best be able to support that... It's likely some bad CSS somewhere.

Well I did create this style myself. Just edited the vbulletin default style to how I wanted it. Is there any specific part of the css or templates that controls threads? I checked and it's a width issue. So I need to make my threads wider on the side that doesn't have a sidebar.

Your "postbit" or in your case, "postbit_legacy" is the template that controls each individual post in a thread. Whatever you need to fix is likely in there.

A good way to tell what template is what is to go to vBulletin Options: General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes.

Then you can look at the source code of a page and you will see an HTML comment at the start and end of each template.
