Create your style then create your forum

Admin CP --> Forums & Moderators --> Add --> Custom style set for this forum

ok thanx guy.. one more question.. how do i change the banner at the top for just one forum? i know it can be done but i dont know what strings to edit.. please help thanx

[Steve Machol]

You set a custom style for that forum and edit the header template for that style to include your banner. I have two forums like that:

http://www.optiboard.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=28

http://www.optiboard.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=29

yeah i get that part.. i just dont know what string to edit to change the banner.. thanx thou.. anymore help??

It's simple HTML. You can view the page source on my forums as a guide.

damn i must be a dumbass cuz i cant figure it out..

<td valign="top"><img src="images/vb_bullet.gif"
is it that? i thought the logo is vBulletin_logo.gif.. but i cant find that in the strings.. i just need to know the string to edit.. thanx for helping me.. haha.. sorry i'm a problem

[Steve Machol]

That's because mine is a custom template and no longer has the default vB logo. If all you want to do is replace the logo, then just replace the {titleimage} in the Replacement variables.

[king sting]

then just replace the {titleimage} in the Replacement variables. ..

hey i tryed that and i messed up the page! damn.. can someone help me? i just need the string to edit

Try removing both instances of 'menu_background.gif' from the header template.
