This is a VB3.5 Ver of my previous hack:

*** Add a banner image to each forum (VB 3.0x)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61555

*** Info:
This modification will Add an image banner w/ link Or paste in your own HTML code option per forum. These files can be any image. (png, jpg, gif, ect). This will be located after the $navbar on FORMDISPLAY. This images can be located on the localhost or on a remote server.

Upload the "plug-in" and edit 2 template, It's a snap.

Could you kindly remind me where or how to remove the Space between the Top forums?
I have a little tick just below the banner on my index page?
I know there is a place (I've done this before, just can't remember where) where I add the number of the First forum in the list and that removes the 'space' tick between the index page banner and the first forum.

[Zachariah]

In your template edit of FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD.
- Kill the Red (3) places.

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner'] AND $foruminfo['bannerlink']"><center><a href="$foruminfo[bannerlink]" target="_blank"><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></a></center><br />
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['banner']"><center><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></center><br />
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['bannercode']"><center>$foruminfo[bannercode]</center><br />
</if>
</if>
</if>

not sure what your talking about, but the html code are is only surrounded by a <center>$foruminfo[bannercode]</center>.

Inside the paste area you might wrap a <div>google code</div>.

You can even create a <table><tr><td>google paste</td></tr><table>.

Ok it?s like this, you know for example the "Quicklinks" drop down menu from the navbar? or the "thread tools" menu ?
Well... if I have a banner in the way of the menu, the banner stays on top of the menu, so I cant realy use it...

Test it here: http://www.kuimera.com/showthread.php?p=824#post824

( Use the login: Test with the pass: test )

Then just click on the "Quicklinks" on the navbar and you will see what i?m talking about.

Design the layout in your FAV editor and paste in the HTML area.
- did you need help with that or were you asking if it could be done ?
