I'd like to be able to customize category images & their css etc for each category, just like here:
http://forums.maxconsole.net/

I know its possible to have custom forum status icons etc.. but I didn't know its possible to have custom images for categories.

Thanks for your help

Find the template (vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code.) and then modify it to use images based on the forumid. For instance, have images like left3.gif and left7.gif and then call them with left$forumid.gif and if it's forumid3, it calls left3.gif and if it's for forumid7, it calls left7.gif.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
