Default Inserting a forum-specific banner photo

Would someone please respond with an idiot-proof, step-by-step list of instructions on how to insert a banner photo on vb4 (not an advertising link; just a plain old photo that I upload to the images folder).

I want to be able to put a different photo on each separate forum between the main header area and the navigation bar where the forum name is listed. If I can't do a separate one for each forum, I'll settle for just one photo on the main page where all the forums are listed.

Please help. I'm a noob, not a programmer but can follow basic instructions, and I've searched and searched and only come up with bits and pieces of information. None of it makes sense. TIA!

Do you mean you want to replace the logo with this custom banner or have the custom banner next to your logo?

I mean inserting a photo as shown below. I'd like the photo to be either between the blue header area and the white body, or within the white body at the top - to the right of where the forum name is.

You could add the code near the bottom of the navbar template. Something like:
HTML Code:
<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS['forumid'] == 2">
Insert image code here
</vb:if>
Just add it right after:
HTML Code:
</div><!-- closing div for above_body -->
(Although you may want to search for a mod that does this via php instead).

Two more questions:

1. Where would I find a mod that does this via php? And what would I do with it once I find it? LOL

2. Where it says "insert image code here" I either need to insert html img tags with the URL, or create an array somewhere that I can use to upload the photos? I would rather not have to rely on linking to a URL.

I have created a new folder called "bannerpic" and dragged my image into that folder. So I have this path: _(root)____/upload/images/bannerpic/imagename.jpg

Sorry to be such an idiot, but can you please tell me exactly how to type the image code that goes between

<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS['forumid'] == 2">

and

</vb:if>

Thank you very much!

Wow. Awesome. Nevermind - I'll figure it out I guess.
