How do I add an image next to each child forum to raise noticability?

[Rockboy]

Hi,
My SMF is at http://kutlessrocks.com/board2 .  I would like to change the way that the names of the child boards are formatted (I see that they are bold and italicized at this board) and possibly add an image in front of the name of each child forum.  How can I do that?

I would like to know this as well, only I would like to add an image next to the category name. 

Thanks

that could easily work for child boards just some changes.

Yes, thank you so much!

adding an image in front of the child board is just as easy as that one.
in BoardIndex.template.php:
Find:

Code Select Expand

$child['link'] = '<a href="' . $child['href'] . '" title="' . ($child['new'] ? $txt[333] : $txt[334]) . ' (' . $txt[330] . ': ' . $child['topics'] . ', ' . $txt[21] . ': ' . $child['posts'] . ')">' . $child['name'] . '</a>';

and replace with something like:

Code Select Expand

$child['link'] = '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/boards/child_' . $child['id'] . '.gif" border="0" alt=" " /><a href="' . $child['href'] . '" title="' . ($child['new'] ? $txt[333] : $txt[334]) . ' (' . $txt[330] . ': ' . $child['topics'] . ', ' . $txt[21] . ': ' . $child['posts'] . ')">' . $child['name'] . '</a>';
that will look for a image in your themes images folder like /images/boards/child_ID.gif where ID is the actual id of that forum.
