I believe it is:
forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost

add the img html wherever you want the image to be displayed ...

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/cat_$forumid.gif" alt="" border="0" />

now create your images and save as cat_$forumid.gif
NOTE: when saving images replace $forumid with forum id of forum where you want image to be displayed


the other template is the "navbar"

thanks! adding an image wasn't exactly what i wanted but i needed to know which template to edit and the bbcode for forum id...

did it this way (added the codes in green):

<td background="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/cat_$forumid.gif"
colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">

this way i can set different background images for the table instead of adding an image...

may i know what's the difference between the *post and *nopost templates?

you should use CSS for 'background' ... or, at the very least change the doctype if you are not coding in valid XHTML

the difference is one is used for categories

[keymistress]

i'm not using CSS because i don't want it to affect all my tcat class...

it won't effect your tcat class if you use -- style="background:url(/images/yourimage$forumid.gif)"
