    How to make images for seperate forums

    Hello,

    I was wondering how do you make images for each seperate forum like this:

    You can use a prefix:

    Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager -> Edit Forum -> Prefix for Forum Status Images

    Or there are addons on www.vbulletin.org for this.

      Ok I have been trying that, but the image still don't show, now I tried this code:

      Code:
      <img src="/forums/images/statusicon/thumb_gunz.gif" border="0"> GunZ
      But the error comes up:

      The image prefix specified is not valid.

      The image however does exist.

        Try removing the / in front of 'forums' or using the complete path.

          I have tried both, and it still has the same error.

              Don't use a full image tag in the prefix. Just use a small prefix. For example, a prefix of pre_ would add that onto the beginning of the image name for the status icons for that forum. Then you can upload your custom status images under the same names as the default status images plus the pre_ at the beginning of the name.
