This will only work on your forumhome level templates.

I'll try this out.

I used Forum Images on my old vB2 forum.

No prob, let me know how it goes.

*JaNa* · 05-04-2004, 06:07 AM

This is what i've been looking for, but i'm having the same sort of problem you're discussing.

I edit one of the templates..and put "$forum[forumhomeicon]" where I want it to go. I fill in the "Forumhome Custom Icon" with "<img src="images/announcments.gif"" and nothing happens. :\
