i just found this site and like how the forum categories have a picture in it. can you do this with SMF and if so how http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums (http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums)
Just add a HTML image tag to your forum's descriptions.
<img src="http://exampleurl.aka/example.gif" />
ah thanks
ok have done this makes things look better. you need to add a few tables as well to get everything in place nice. the code is bellow. just change the parts in red to whatever you are using and past it as the description for your board.
this is how it looks when done http://www.sell-uk.net/swingerpost/ (http://www.sell-uk.net/swingerpost/)
<div align="center">
<center>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="77%">
<p align="left">Your Board Description Goes Here</td>
<td width="124%">
<img border="0" src="Path To Your Stored Image" width="Image Width" height="Image Height" align="Wher Do You Want The Image Placed I.E center"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</div>
Thank you for posting your solution. I'm going to move this to Tips and Tricks.
Awesome, I never even considered putting graphics in the categories. I'm going to go play with it now.
This place ROCKS! (http://usparatroopers.org/newboard/Smileys/default/headbang.gif)
Now that I have access to my board modifcation panel again, I can add this nice little touch to them. Thanks for the tip.
For a different option, take a look:

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing I'd like to do on my site, but I'm not far removed from a total n00b when it comes to PHP.
I think I get the basics of coding it - I don't even care about the board descriptions being on the main page because I can just add text to the images I use if I think it needs them. What I can't figure out at all is which file this is in, and where in the file it is.
Thanks! :)
Newsted, would you mind sharing how you did that? I'm sure many people would be interested in that info :)
was that done with photoshop and slices?
I figured it out. Just Photoshop your own.
Place this code in the board name and leave the description empty.
Make sure you edit your own URL's and resize if necessary.
<a href="url to board goes here" target="_top"> <img height="68" width="468" border="0" src="url to image" alt="your alt text here" /></a>
Theres more to this. When i add the images,they work like they should in the boards but....
....when inside the board,and look at at the link tree,the image appears as well and shrunk.
Only if i can figure out the link tree stays the same as before. Just text. Hmmmm...

Sure, i removed the borders between forums and wrote image code into forum description.
It's very simple but really looks good, just need to do some photoshop work.

It would be great if you could post a "how-to"? Perhaps in a new topic.
It decided not to do this in my forum as i have 150 boards. LOL
But this could work great in the "Links" & Articles" mod.

i would think so.
I got the picture into the forum Category - It looks like there is some form of padding around it.
How do i get rid of it so the picture fits into the box perfectly.
Is there a way to add a hyperlink to the linked picture in the category???

Basically it should work like this
<a href="http://www.example.com"><img src="http://exampleurl.aka/example.gif" /></a>
Depending on the method you used to add the image itself :)
This is cool!
How do you get it to look like this.
http://www.texasteamplayers.com/index.php?action=forum (http://www.texasteamplayers.com/index.php?action=forum)
Or How do you get it to align top right?
I think that site is using a mod for the same.

Just add a HTML image tag to your forum's descriptions.
<img src="http://exampleurl.aka/example.gif" />
google adsense will work in the same place ?
I think no as google adsense include script code not the plain html :D
<img src ="http://www.jillstanek.com/breaking.jpg/>

In the description area
oh i see now
<img src ="http://www.jillstanek.com/breaking.jpg"/>
