GIF images instead ot text title in thread list
Hi, I am one of the joint Admin staff of a new Forumotion forum and wonder if it is possible to use a small banner GIF image on the index of threads (home page) for each fourm title instead of the title in text.
I have tried replacing the text with the IMG URL from a Tinypic image but that did not appear to work (it just showed the URL).
Failing that is it possible to use standard HTML codes such as bold, italic, etc. Would those work.
Thanks,
Mike.

Hi, yes I think you can. Try using HTML to display the image.

Thanks, what would be the actual code format?
< a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=2gt0ncm" target="_blank" >< img src="https://2img.net/h/oi52.tinypic.com/2gt0ncm.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" >< /a >
or
h t t p://tinypic.com/m/ehbzhd/2
or
h t t p://i52.tinypic.com/2gt0ncm.jpg
(Hope the above edited URLs don't resolve)

The code is correct, but answer this question: do you want the image to link to anywhere?

It would be nice if the image could just be kept on the Forumotion server but a link to Tinypic would be OK if not.
Apologies but I am fairly new to forum admin jobs.

I can make it so that it doesn't link back to TinyPic. Would that be okay?

Indeed, how would it be done?

Please use this as your category title:
Once you have submitted it, you will see a message:

- Code:
<img src="http://i52.tinypic.com/2gt0ncm.jpg" border="0" />
Once you have submitted it, you will see a message:

Try this:
<A HREF:"Link here"><IMG SRC:"Image Http Link here"></A>
When using the link from the image, post what the image itself is, not the Tinypic link.

I tried that line in the subject box but it just comes up with that code not the image. I do need it in the subject box for what I am trying to do to work; perhaps that's not possible?

Thanks Killer, I have to go out shortly but will give that a try as well.

Wait... oh I misunderstood. I thought you meant the category title...

Thanks Base; if it's not possible then that's OK. It's just that we used to have it that way in an old ebay forum we ran. Since they changed to the new system that option disappeared. Just thought it may have been possible here.
Many thanks both for your replies.
