I'm looking for the same thing. I used to have it set up, but recently had to do a fresh install of vb, and lost it.

Anyone who can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

When you go to admincp --> forums & moderators --> forum manager
select the forum you want the pic on, --> edit and in the Description place this:

<img src="http://www.place where the pic is stored" alt="" />

hope it works

The description is a text field. If you place the link in the category name it works. BUT...
It also shows the breadcrumb.

you need to add new field in database forum table, print it in edit forum and register it, plus to modifying forumbit templates.

In another word, you need a plugin.

Hi there,

Not 100% sure if this will help but a friend of mine tried it and it worked for him back in the days.

Goto stylemanager> stylename> main CSS> Category Strips>

by default it has a background image repeating itself horizontally.

In the background property.default style have like this :

#869BBF url(images/gradients/gradient_tcat.gif) repeat-x top left

you can change this to no-repeat :

#869BBF url(images/gradients/gradient_tcat.gif) no-repeat top left

change the image path to your image. and color to your right area after the image on the left .

if the category text now overlapping with your left image.
just put in the additional css attributes box in the category strips css panel this value,

padding-left:40px;

I have found out myself how to do it an easy way for me anyway,lol

As long as i keep the images 25px High and 500px Wide i just use the code posted earlier

<img src="http://www.place where the pic is stored" alt="" />

I place this in where you would put the category name and NOT in the description box
