Hi pharmerphil

Is that your forum, or is that the kind of images you wanted in the background?

Sorry ...that was the forum link, the image is yet to be located in my files

What I wanted to know is, how is to add background images to the category bars (see red X's), and keep the text

Pharmerphil , from the image in your post it looks like you want to add images to the "board descriptions" or board rows.

There is a plugin: Board Description Images that can do this.

I will give it a look, thanks Scott, EDIT: Scott, will this leave the text (Introductions/New Arrivals) with the image in the background?

that is what I was hoping for

It should do that, yes.  If you run in to any problems, or it isn't quite what you wanted, post back

As a septuagenarian I know the feeling well!

Pharmerphil, I took a look at the plugin on your forum and you do not have a board selected for the image to appear.

Go to Admin > Plugins > Manage, click on the plugin name, then on the Main Settings tab. In the section where you added the image URL, just to the left is the Board column. Click on the Add Board link and select the board where you want the image to appear.

Ok, I did what you said, and I did get an image in the category I added.

However, Maybe it's the image, I don't know.

Trying to re-boot this forum due to the increased interest in the forums subject

(hot peppers)

When I first set it up, In the category bars Behind the board name

I had the name (introductions and New arrivals)

With animated flames behind the text

below is the BB code version of the image I am trying to use

Could you double check the url you have set for the image. It looks like you have i.imgur.com/tslCuztt.gif in the box, which returns a broken link, and is not the same as the one in your post above.
