Moved to Design and Graphics.

He's using css to add to the background of each of the forum rows. He numbers them 1,2,3,4, etc and it calls the background image inline -
First row in the group:

<td style="background:#28323b url(style_images/tren_z/1/wtgs1.jpg) no-repeat right;;" class="row2">

Second row:

<td style="background:#28323b url(style_images/tren_z/1/wtgs2.jpg) no-repeat right;;" class="row2">

(His mistakes in the css, not my copy/paste mistake.)

The code is all right there in the page source. You'll need to find an image and slice it up making each piece a set height. Then, number them sequentially. When you spit out the forums, have a counter get incremented that is then used to call the image. You'll need some new css to set the height on each forum listing (again, it's all in the guys source code).

It's actually a lot of work to do something like that, so you're not going to get a copy and paste solution here.

First, you'd need to know graphics and be able to take your image and cut it up to fit in the bars properly. Then, you'd have to manually edit the code in each bar for each image.

Would be work. If you don't know graphics and coding, it would be something to hire out for.

Pardon this bump, but my question is partially related. The OP was asking for images within the forums of a category, per the link he provided.

My question is, and I'll start a new thread if need be, to have images between categories. Such that the space will auto adjust (height-wise of course) to the image called. I would presume that such a thing is still a template edit for each particular style.

Is this something maybe relatively easier to do? Please forward me to the right thread if this has already been addressed, but I found many topics for inserting images into a Category Strip, which I'm not interested in b/c it seems to have more finite restrictions due to chosen styles.

Thanks in advance!
