Different Image for Each Subforum

[endgame]

I’ve posted this question on another forum but reposting here to see if anyone else can help: On our board we have an image beside the name of the Sub-Forum. We’d like each subforum to have a different image, but we are having trouble figuring out the code to make this happen. Hoping to get some help or guidance on how we might be able to code this in. We are still very much at the designing phase, but want to make sure everything works before we start building the rest of our content.

For reference to the site: roleplayark.com/

I apologize in advance for the lack of coding in this post. Posting from my phone.

Hello.

Just a quick note on terminology. When you say "subforum", I am guessing that you are actually referring to a "sub-board"? Here is the hierarchy for a forum:

> Forum (is the whole site)
>>> Category (contains Boards)
>>>>> Boards (contains Sub-Boards and Threads)
>>>>>>> Threads (contains Posts)

To put an image to the left of a (Sub-)Board's Name, go to Admin -> Structure -> Categories & Boards -> (Edit the Board in question). You should get a popup window that the first two fields are Name and Display Name.

You can use some BBCode in the Display Name field. For example, you could do something like this:


[img src="URL_to_Image"]Sub-Board 1


and the image linked should show to the left of the name. You may need to use height and width properties on the image if it is too big, to prevent a large image from breaking the flow of the forum (it will not actually "break" anything, but it can make the forum look bad).

A little late, but thank you so much for answering my question!
